My Games

Create, organize, collaborate on, and publish your Portals games.

Create a Game

You can start from My Games or use Create when you want help choosing a starting direction. Both workflows create a game you can continue editing in the browser.

From My Games

  1. Open My Games.
  2. Choose Create New.
  3. Choose a template that is close to the kind of game you want to make.
  4. Give the game a short, recognizable name.
  5. Create it and open the new game when it is ready.

The template is a starting point, not a permanent limitation. You can replace items, change the layout, and add your own interactions after the game opens.

From Create

The Create experience helps turn an idea into a starting project. Describe the kind of game or setting you want, review the available options, then create a game from the direction you choose.

Treat the result as a first draft. Open it, walk through it as a player, and change anything that does not support the experience you want.

Name the first version for yourself

Use a name that makes sense in My Games while you are working. You can refine player-facing details later. A useful working name describes the game and its version, such as "forest trail prototype" or "museum lobby v1."

What to do immediately after creating

  1. Find the starting location and place a Spawn Point if the template does not already have one where you need it.
  2. Change one visible thing so the game feels like yours.
  3. Add one small interaction.
  4. Test it from the player start.
