Backflip for AnimalsOwner documentation← Portfolio

#Installation

The game ships as a single native place file. The world, models, interfaces and every script are inside it, so there is no separate build step.

#Open and publish your copy

  1. Open Backflip_for_Animals.rbxl in Roblox Studio.
  2. Publish it to an experience owned by your account or group (File → Publish to Roblox As…).
  3. Press Play and check the Output window for script errors and asset permission warnings.
  4. Walk through the loop: plot assignment, treadmill, a backflip to Meadow, stealing an egg, delivering it and hatching.
  5. Configure products and pricing, then add your own admin account.

#What is in the place

#Studio settings

Open Game Settings → Security in the published experience:

  • Enable Studio Access to API Services: turn it on only when you want Studio playtests to read and write the real DataStore. Without it the game starts a temporary profile, shows a notice and saves nothing.
  • Allow HTTP Requests: not required.

#Asset permissions

Meshes, textures, animations and audio must be usable by the new experience owner. In the reviewed place, Studio reported missing access for several textures, including the Cursed animals and some Halloween models. Those models appear grey until you have permission or replace the textures.

After publishing, open the Output window and search for doesn't have access permission. Each line names the asset ID to share with your experience or to replace.

#First live test

Use a private test server:

  1. Join, earn Cash and Speed, buy an upgrade and hatch an egg.
  2. Leave and rejoin. Confirm Cash, Speed, pets, eggs, upgrades and trails are restored.
  3. Check that the leaderboards in the lobby show your entry after about a minute.

See Data & Persistence for how saving works.
