Developer Setup

After choosing the Game Developer identity, you'll go through a short guided wizard: a welcome, adding your first game, and a confirmation that your Studio is ready.

Step 1: Welcome

A quick introduction to your Studio workspace. There is nothing to fill in here.

Step 2: Add Your First Game

Three routes lead to the same place. Pick whichever one fits your studio - none of them needs the optional Steam account link.

Publisher API Key - Gamosy imports your whole catalog from Steamworks. Here's where to find the key:

1. Go to partner.steamgames.com
2. Navigate to Users & Permissions in the sidebar
3. Click Manage Group for your publisher
4. Find the Publisher Web API Key section
5. Copy the key and paste it into the Gamosy form

Once the key is verified, Gamosy syncs your games automatically and enriches them with data from the Steam Store API, including descriptions, genres, screenshots, trailers, pricing, and review scores. The key is stored securely and only used for game synchronization. See Connecting Steam for how the key is protected and how to create one with minimal permissions.

Store Page Verification - prefer not to share a key? Gamosy issues a one-time token, you place it on your game's Steam store page, and Gamosy reads the public page to confirm it. No key, no login, one game at a time. See Verify Game Ownership. Every Gamosy feature works the same whichever route you take.

My game is not on Steam yet - pre-launch, in early production, on itch.io, or heading to a console store first: use the Email us about your game button in the wizard, or write to info@gamosy.com, and we'll reply with the best way to get your game in.

You can also Skip for now and add a game later from Developer → Games. Skipping costs you nothing - the rest of your Studio works either way.

Step 3: You're Set

The last screen confirms your Studio is ready and offers one optional extra: linking your Steam account. That link puts your Steam display name and avatar on your public Gamosy page, and that is all it does. Take it now, take it later from Developer → Games, or skip it.

Create Your First Campaign

A campaign is how you distribute Steam keys to creators. From your dashboard:

• Select a game from your imported library
• Set a title and description explaining what you're looking for
• Define platform requirements - Minimum follower counts and view metrics per platform (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok)
• Set a content deadline - How many days creators have to submit their content after receiving a key

Upload Steam Keys

Every campaign needs keys:

• Paste keys directly into the text area (one per line)
• Or upload a CSV file with your keys

Keys are validated for format and checked for duplicates before being added to your campaign.

You're Ready

Your campaign is set up and ready to go - just activate it when you're ready to start accepting applications from creators.

You can always create more campaigns, import more games, and upload additional keys from your developer dashboard. You can also message creators directly to discuss campaigns or provide feedback - see Messaging for details.
