Setting a hub icon and description - Need Help

ADT_CLONE	I need some help on how to write a piece of code which gives your game a description and icon in the hub.

Mecha Destroyer JD	You don't have to write code to do those..

GhostAnime	Log into your account from this site (while being in developers side), click 'Your Account', than 'Your Hub', select the hub entry (or create a new one), than modify it... simple ;/

GhostAnime

yes until you publish it onto another channel by clicking distribution (while in Your Game's Hub section) and selecting the channel there.

NOTE: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST FOR HAVING THE GAME PUBLISHED

It will have a link to an FAQ section on the channel requirements Which is here... Read the general criteria than the specialty channels (like fangame).

One major general point is: Do not submit a game that's not quite ready...
Quote:

It should be a playable game.

Don't submit a game when it's not ready to play. It should either be finished, or finished enough that players can have a good experience. Until that time, you are free to have a hub entry for the game, and host it live and/or submit it to non-BYOND channels as you develop it.
