Create a project

Before you begin

You will need a Godot game that runs in the Godot editor.

If you are starting from scratch, see Building a Mobile Game.

What you'll need​

  • To have installed ShipThis and run the shipthis login command
  • A Godot game
    • We currently support all stable Godot versions since 3.6
    • See Building a Mobile Game if you need help getting started

Guided setup​

The quickest way to create a new game, is to run the wizard command from a directory which contains a project.godot file. The command takes a platform parameter - this can be either android or ios. The wizard will create a shipthis.json file which you should add to your version control.

To see all the available options for the wizard, please see the command reference.

To create an Android game​

The Android wizard will guide you through each of the Android set up steps.

To create an iOS game​

The iOS wizard will guide you through each of the iOS set up steps.

Manual setup​

The wizard command makes use of other commands provided by the ShipThis command line tool. If you prefer, you can initialize the game and run the steps manually at the command line from a directory which contains a project.godot file.

The first step of the wizard is to run the shipthis game create command.
