Before proceeding, ensure that the final, ready-to-play version of your game is open in Stencyl.
We have published our game to the Stencyl Arcade, so anyone can now play it!
During the publishing process, we specified that the game is a work in progress, but the game is still available for public access in the Stencyl Arcade—it just means that players will have to choose to see games labeled as work in progress in order to see our game.
When the upload completed, we chose to open the game in a web browser so that we could play the game, and we tested it to ensure that it worked as expected. It's a good idea to immediately test any game that we upload, to ensure that everything has gone according to plan, so do take the time to test your uploaded game thoroughly.
Finally, we ensured that we were logged into stencyl.com, and we selected our game from our user page, so we could see its information page, along with the Actions and Edits options that will enable us to configure our game in the Stencyl Arcade.
Although we could have uploaded our game into the Stencyl Arcade as a fully published game, it's a good idea to initially upload it as a work in progress, so anyone can still play our game, but it is labeled as an incomplete work.
