Game studios and publishers now have a quick and easy way to sell their games and in-game items (DLC, game extensions) through our innovative marketplace at Loot.Game.

You will need a pro-account on our platform Mooniz.io to get started. Follow this 5 step guide to add your gaming content to our platform and begin increasing player acquisition and revenue.

1 Requesting Marketplace Access

New game studios and game publishers must first request access in order to add games and DLC.

From the services menu in the Mooniz backoffice, click on one of your services:

Clicking on a service from the “Services” menu through the Mooniz platform

Click on “Marketplace” from the Features section at the bottom.

In the opened window, enter your studio name (and provide us with as much detail as you can to describe your games and projects).

Click “Grant me access” when you’re finished. We will respond as soon as we can.

Adding studio name and message

You will receive an email from the team once your request has been approved.

Next time you log in, click through to the Marketplace button again.

Our distribution contract will appear in a window, read and agree to our Marketplace vendor Agreement to continue.

Add studio details, a short and long description, upload your logo and background image.

This information will appear on your Loot.game profile to the public.

Adding studio profile details

Once all the details are complete, click save.

3 Adding a Game to the Marketplace

Adding a game to the marketplace is a two step process.

1 How to add a game

Click “Add a game” from the top menu.

Next, add all the required information about your game.

Adding basic information about your game

Add as many categories that your game fits into.

Image Management

The YouTube URL field enables you to display a looped video in the background of your game page on the devices allowing it.

Redeem Information

Choose a price for your game by region (can be different for each one).

  • Zero = Game will be free in that region.
  • An empty field = Game will not be available in that region.
  • Generic price dollar appears to the users of those regions where the game is not available.

Click the drop-down box to choose the type of key your game is using:

If you choose a custom key redeem mechanism, you will have to mention the URL of your redemption page.

Click save at the top when you are done.

The game will appear in the marketplace grid.

2 Manage your keys

All games are redeemed with unique keys. To add these, double click on your chosen game from the Marketplace menu:

Then click Manage Keys.

Add keys from the “Manage keys” window:

Only list one key per line. Click “+ Add key” to add them to the “Keys list” below.

Keys have been added to the list

You can also import a CSV file using the import button (one key per line in the file).

4 Adding in-game items to the Marketplace

Game studios can also add their DLC to the marketplace. This can be anything from game extensions to in-game items (weapons, skins etc).

1 How to add DLC, Extensions or New Options to a Game

From the Marketplace menu, select the game you want to add DLC to and double click to open it.

Click the “+ Add a DLC” button.

If you wish to prepare your DLC to be released a later stage, leave the current state on “draft”. Otherwise, select “available”, it will be published at the same time as the game.

Next, input all the required information for each added DLC.

Adding basic information about your DLC

The group field gives you the ability to group your DLC together, for example weapons, skins, shields, etc. This is useful as these groups will appear as a sub-category on your game page at loot.game.

Finally attribute a key type for your DLC.

Save it when you have finished these steps.

Your item should now appear in the DLC list of the game it was added to.

2 Manage Your Keys

Next we must add keys to the item so your players can redeem them. Open your DLC from the list then click manage keys:

Keys are added for DLC in the same way as for games. Add one DLC key per line.

5 Publishing

Once created, games need to be published. Make your game available on the marketplace by going to the marketplace grid and selecting the game.

Only “available” DLC will be published at the same time as the game.

Click publish:

Our team will review your request and contact you when it is approved. The marketplace grid also displays the current publishing state.

When a game is awaiting approval, game information and DLC linked to that game cannot be modified. You can however continue to add DLC or modify DLC in a “draft” state. You will be able to publish again once the game is no longer awaiting approval.

Unpublishing

If you decide to remove an item from the marketplace, simply select it from the grid in your back office and click the “unpublish” button.

Note: The game will no longer be visible or available to users but it will not be removed from the catalogue. This allows you to easily publish again should you so wish.

We hope you enjoy using our marketplace and welcome any feedback and suggestions to better serve our community.
