Claim your game

Keep a game you published without an account, before its one-hour deadline.

A new upload is playable right away, but it's temporary until someone claims it. The result's claim_expires_at is the deadline, one hour after upload.

To claim it, open the claim_url, sign in and select Claim game.

  • Claimed in time: the game moves into your Rosebud account, keeps its link and opens in the Rosebud editor. It no longer expires.
  • Not claimed: at the deadline the game, its files and its links stop working, and the game is permanently deleted. There's no late claim.

Keep the claim link private. Anyone who has it can claim the game.

Signed in with rosebud login? Then publish puts the game straight into your account. The result has claimed: true and an editor_url, and there's no claim link.

If a game expires

Publish the same build again as a new game. Use a new state file so the CLI doesn't confuse it with the deleted one:

rosebud publish --directory ./dist --state .rosebud/new-project.json \
  --title 'Moon Garden'

The new game gets a new link. Pass the same --state to later commands for it.
