Set up your first project
Projects are set up in the app with a four-step wizard. When it's done, your team chat, channels and process board are ready. The project shows in the app's rail and on the Your workspace page on devchaos.com.
You need to be signed in to the app, with a confirmed email address.
Open the wizard
Press the + button in the rail on the left (Start a new project) or New project on the Home page.
Project
Project name is required; if it has no name yet, write a working title and change it later. The Short description shows on the team's card. Pick a cover picture and an icon, or upload your own; if you don't, one of the ready ones stays.
Tools
Pick the Game engine your team uses (more than one is fine) and any Other programs.
Pipeline
Set out the project's stages: Start from scratch, or take the Small team, Mobile game or Steam Early Access template. Add stages, change their order, set target dates. To use it in other projects too, Save as template.
Setup
One last look. With Set up the first channels and voice room on, you get general, design, code and sound-music channels and a Daily standup room; click a name to change it. With it off, only the first channel is created. Press Start project.
Where the project shows up
Once it's set up, the app opens the project's Pipeline page and its icon sits in the rail.
On devchaos.com, press your name at the top right and choose Your workspace: your projects and the invitations waiting for you are there. Pressing a project opens it in the app. Start a new project there opens the app as well; projects aren't set up on the site.
Something went wrong?
Continue doesn't respond.
Give the project a name first; without one you can't move on.
It says “Confirm your email address before sharing.”
Your email address isn't confirmed yet. Find the confirmation mail or ask for a new one, then press Start project again.
I pressed Start a new project on the site and nothing happened.
That button opens Devchaos on your computer, so the app has to be installed. If it isn't, install Devchaos first.
