Setting up VK Games integration​

In the next Connect window, you need to fill in App ID and Secret Key. To do this, go to the list of your VK applications:

  • go to the settings of one of the previously added applications
  • or create a new one. To do this, in the top menu, select My Apps - Create

💡 After being sent for approval, the category can only be changed by Support.

After filling in all the fields, click the Upload app button:

Select Settings from the menu on the left. Copy ID apps and Secret Key from the VK website for developers and write this information in the appropriate fields in the Connection tab of the GamePush control panel:

Once the ID and secret key have been added to the control panel, click the Continue button. The following Setup VK Games banners window will open. In this window, you can choose which types of banners are allowed to be displayed in your game. You can leave the suggested default settings and click Continue and then Finish. This completes the setup of the Add Platform section.

Uploading the Game to the GamePush Hosting​

The Vkontakte platform requires that the game be uploaded to the hosting. You can use the hosting provided by the GamePush service. And provide a link to the game from the GamePush platform in the game settings on the VKontakte site. To upload a game to our service, go to the Game Hosting section. Upload the archive with the game, the service will automatically create a draft, which can then be published. You can use the .ZIP archive with the HTML5 game to download. You can upload an archive up to 200 MB in size.

After downloading, you will be able to publish the game and get a link to it.

The link to the game is placed in the settings of the Vkontakte project for developers, as shown in the figure below:

Mutual tuning of the GamePush and VK is completed. To publish the game, you will have to fill in the Settings field of the game on the side of the Vkontakte, and send the game for moderation.

Connecting Advertising​

For the game to generate income, you just need to connect advertising. Vkontakte advertising is implemented on the service AppsCentrum. Sign in to AppsCentrum using your Vk account.

To connect the game:

  • On the left panel, select Media Ads
  • Go to the Applications tab
  • In the list of your applications, find the game that you added earlier on the Vkontakte platform for developers
  • Press the Plug button next to the game
