Creating a New Project

Sign in to PlayServ Backoffice to start the onboarding flow. It covers two steps: setting up your studio and creating your first project.

Name your studio​

A studio is the top-level workspace in PlayServ. All projects live under it.

Enter a name in the Studio Name field and click Continue. The name appears in the header and project selector across the Backoffice.

A URL slug is generated automatically from the name — lowercase letters, digits, and dashes.

Studio Name screen — first onboarding step

Create your first project​

Select how to set up the project.

Project creation screen with Start with example and Start blank options

Start with example sets up a demo project pre-filled with a catalog, storefronts, functions, and 30 days of simulated player activity. Recommended if you want to explore PlayServ before connecting a real game.

Start blank creates an empty project ready for SDK integration. Use this when you already have a game in development.

tip

To skip this step and return later, select Skip for now → I'll set this up later.

This guide covers the Start blank flow.

Configure project details​

After selecting Start blank, fill in the project configuration.

Project details form with name, icon, and region fields

1

Project Name

The name used to identify the project in the Backoffice header and the project selector. It can be anything — you can rename it later.

A URL slug is generated automatically from the name. The slug is the primary identifier for the project and is used in three places:

  • API URLs — all REST API calls are scoped to the project slug
  • Unity SDK — the slug is passed during SDK initialisation to connect the client to the correct project
  • MCP assistant — used to connect Claude to the project:
Access the project with a my-game slug

The slug appears under the project name in the Backoffice header.

2

Icon

A colour for the project icon, generated from the project name initials. Useful for distinguishing between projects at a glance in the project selector.

3

Region

The region where the project data will be hosted. Available options: us-east-1 · Virginia, eu-west-1 · Frankfurt, ap-southeast-1 · Singapore, sa-east-1 · São Paulo.

warning

The region cannot be changed after the project is created. Choose the region closest to your players or backend infrastructure before proceeding.

Click Create project to finish.

Project dashboard​

The Backoffice opens the project dashboard immediately after creation. From here:

  • find the project slug in the header — used for MCP access and API calls
  • use the Quick Start Panel for links to integration resources
  • open SDK Keys to create your first credential
note

SDK keys are not generated automatically. You need to create one before proceeding with SDK integration.
