Creators

Creators help showcase your game and reach new audiences. With FirstLook, you can customize how creators sign up, review and accept applications, and see the content they produce.

Configure your Creator Program

Set up a dedicated path for creators to apply and get approved.

Enable sign ups

1. Go to Configuration → Flows and create or select a flow for creators.
2. Open ‘Settings’ and scroll to ‘Creator Program Settings’.
3. Toggle on ‘Enable Creator Sign Ups’.
4. (Optional) Toggle on ‘Auto‑Accept Applications’. See Accept Creators into your Program.
5. Click ‘Save Changes’.

Flow Consideration

Creators sign up in the same way as players but do not receive automatic game access; you control when to grant game keys. During sign-up, creators are prompted to link their social accounts. Additionally, you can assign creators specific FirstLook and Discord roles, which are separate from standard player roles. For further customization options, refer to Customize the experience.

Customize the experience

1. Go to Configuration → Settings → Creator.
2. In ‘Messaging’, customize the landing, pending, and success pages creators will see.
3. In ‘Roles’, choose specific FirstLook and Discord roles to give creators creators.
4. In ‘Emails’, customize the ‘Approval’ and ‘Enrollment’ emails.

Accept Creators into your Program

Review incoming creator applications and decide who to accept.

View your creators

Go to Dashboard → Creators to view all the creators in your program.

The status of the creator will indicate if they just ‘Applied’, if they are accepted and ‘Active’, or if they were ‘Rejected’. Manually added creators will have a ‘Tracking’ status, see Tracking potential Creators.

Accept or reject an application

1. Select an ‘Applied’ creator from the table.
2. Review their content and click ‘Approve’ or ‘Deny’.
3. Approved creators will receive an email welcoming them to your program.

Access

Approving a creator doesn’t automatically grant game access. You can invite them to your playtest when you’re ready.

Enroll players as Creators

Invite engaged playtesters to your creator program.

Enroll a player

1. Open the player in Dashboard → Players.
2. Click ‘More Actions’ → ‘Enroll as Creator’.
3. The player will receive an email inviting them to join the program, with a link to your creator landing page.

Tracking potential Creators

Keep a list of prospects you’d like to work with before they apply.

Manually add creators

1. Go to Dashboard → Creators and click ‘Add Creator’.
2. Enter their name and social handles.
3. Click ‘Add Creator’ and they will appear as ‘Tracking’ in the table.
4. Their content will populate within a few minutes.

Filter and track content

Navigate to Creators → Content to monitor and analyze content from all your creators.

Apply content filters

Go to Configuration → Settings → Creator to add the games you want to filter content by.
