You need to set up community usage and domain settings in App Center in order to use the community.

Community is available on PC/mobile as well as in the form of webview in-game. Therefore, you must be issued with AppID and set up community usage and domain settings in App Center in order to deliver community usage info to Hive SDK.

Menu: Console > App Center > Manage AppID

Community AppID creation is required for the game you wish to use.
You must select ‘Community’ for the market info when creating the AppID.

Menu: Console > App Center > Game List > Hive Product Settings > Community Settings

Set up the community usage and the web domain to be used in App Center. The main domain cannot be changed but the subdomain of the community domain can be changed.

  • Example domain: https://community.withhive.com/CUSTOM TEXT

You cannot change the status or domain after completing the setup.

Automatic login is available when accessing the community in-game but you must proceed with web login if you’re accessing from a PC or mobile environment.
IdP types provided in Hive web login are as follows.

  • Hive Membership
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Apple (Different from Apple Game Center)

Hive membership does not require a separate setup, but registration is required in advance for Google, Facebook, and Apple. Please refer to the web login settings guide for more details.

Menu: Console > Hive Community > Create Community > Progress

The community uses a public DB and the schema of each game is separated. Therefore, even if you switch community usage to ON in App Center, it may take some time to connect the DB to the table.
If you switch community usage to ON in App Center, an automatic notification is sent to the community and the setup will begin. Normally, DB setup will be completed within 5 business days after changing the usage settings. You can check the progress in the menu above.

All images shown in the community are created in the relevant departments and registered to the console directly.
Please refer to the details below for the images required for the initial setup and their precautions.
