How do I create my first project?
Open Create and describe one small, playable idea. Sign in, activate the Regular trial or a paid plan, and connect your AI provider. Choose Create game. Successful guided builds are checked and saved on this device; play the result and use Undo if you want to go back. Imported terminal files and recovered drafts have a separate review step.
Read the guide: How do I create my first project?Can I look around before creating an account?
Yes. Watch the recorded editor demonstration or play the publicly available showcase games without an EoC account. The demonstration uses a prepared project and edited recordings; it is not an interactive editor or a live AI generation. Creating your own game requires an account, EoC access and an AI connection.

You can begin by describing changes in ordinary language. The source editor is available when you want more control. Review and test generated work; complex multiplayer, native builds and production infrastructure need development skills.
Read the guide: Do I need to know how to code?What is included in the free trial?
The trial includes seven days of Regular access. A credit card is required, with no charge or automatic renewal. Eligible accounts may also have a limited included AI allowance; the creator shows availability and the remaining allowance. Calls through your own API connection are billed separately by that provider. You choose whether to buy a paid EoC subscription afterwards.

Regular is $29.95/month or $179.70/year. Studio is $100/month or $600/year. Studio Team is $200/month or $1,200/year. Each annual price is 50% off twelve monthly payments. AI API usage and hosting are separate.

Studio Team adds a second creator seat and Unreal Engine plugin source to compile and install locally. Both Studio plans include multiplayer server source to compile and host yourself, plus release kits for Steam, Apple App Store and Epic Games Store. Hosting, native builds, signing and store approval are separate responsibilities.

When enabled for your account, blockchain checkout provides 30 or 365 days of access after the provider confirms full settlement. These purchases renew manually. Card subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed in Link.

No. Subscription sign-in and API-key builds are separate connection methods. API builds draw on your provider's API balance, not your consumer subscription. Where available, the Claude Code or Codex option uses its supported subscription connection and shows the required setup. EoC access does not include provider usage.

You can export your project source and distribute work you have rights to use. EoC source editions have separate commercial license terms, including a 1% royalty on net game receipts above the first $1 million per game. Upstream assets and libraries retain their own licenses.
Read the guide: Can I export and sell my game?What happens when I cancel?
Card renewal stops according to Link. Access lasts through the verified paid term unless suspended for a billing dispute or misuse. Downloaded source is not remotely deleted; its license continues to govern what you can do with it.
Read the guide: What happens when I cancel?Where can I publish?
Publish a browser game directly to Engines of Creation with a public play link. Both Studio plans include release kits for Steam, Apple App Store and Epic. You supply a compatible compiled build, signing credentials and your publisher account; each store reviews submissions separately. A release kit does not guarantee store approval.
Read the guide: Where can I publish?Is my published source public?
EoC public browser-game publishing includes playable output and source so other users can remix it. The editor asks you to confirm that you own the rights and have removed private data. Unpublishing cannot recall copies already downloaded.
Read the guide: Is my published source public?Do I need an installer or a vault password?
API builds run in your browser without an installer. In Connect AI, select a provider and model, enter your API key, and choose Use for this tab. This temporary connection needs no vault password and is forgotten on refresh or close. Saved connections use an encrypted local vault. Optional Companion subscription builds require a paired computer and have separate download availability.

Connect Birdeye from account Connections to use the managed market-data feed. The platform key stays on the server. Shared capacity is limited to 125 users. The prediction-market example uses Robinhood testnet GOLD; it is separate from subscription payments.

Read the error and check the selected provider connection and available balance. A failed attempt does not replace your saved game. Use the offered recovery action or make a smaller request; continuing can use more provider credit. Use Undo or History to restore a working version. Download a backup before clearing browser storage. Send support the request ID and steps to reproduce, never credentials.
