The Publish page is where you can save your game to work on later or post to your profile to be played. You can also set all relevant meta data like name, description, thumbnail & tags as well as settings for leaderboards and comments.
To access the Publish page tap the “Save” icon in the upper right corner of the editor.
Give your Game a name. It appears on the overlay in a feed or below the thumbnail on your profile and other pages that show thumbnails.
Write a brief description for your Game. You can also use hashtags in the descriptions to help players find your Game. Using appropriate hashtags will help your Game get in front of the players interested in that type of content.
A preview of the Game's thumbnail appears on the right side of the screen. Thumbnails can be captured while in the Editor or during playtest. If you have not taken a thumbnail the Editor view at the time of hitting the Save button will automatically be saved as the thumbnail. New thumbnails can be saved at any time and taking a new thumbnail in the editor will overwrite the last saved thumbnail.
HypeHype now also supports custom thumbnails. Tap “Edit” on the thumbnail preview and select “Choose new photo” to upload a custom thumbnail.
Recommended dimensions for thumbnails are 1080x1440 with a maximum file size of 2mb.

Tapping Save will save your game as a draft. Drafts are available only to you on the Drafts tab of your profile.
It will be accessible to your profile across devices, but will not be visible to other players until you decide to publish the Game.
NOTE: if you're working on a game that is already posted and select save, this will create a new draft of the game. This is useful when you don't want to change the playing experience while you're working on a game update.
Post makes your Game "live".
NOTE: if you're game has already been posted tapping Post will replace the earlier public version with the new version you are saving.
When you post a game, you have the option to write a small note to the players! Add some publishing notes, or if you're posting an update to an existing game, tell the players what has changed.
This note will appear in the comment section of the game as well as the Posts section of your profile.
If you leave the note field empty, publishing notes are not created.
There is an Automatic save system that records a backup of your Game.
When loading a Game in the Editor you will be prompted if you would like to load the Autosave if one is available.
In the event of an app crash you will be prompted immediately upon reloading the app if you would like to continue working from the autosaved file.
Autosaves are saved locally on your device.
