User Generated Content (UGC)

LootLocker’s User Generated Content (UGC) feature allows players to create, submit, and share their own content within your game. This system supports the creation, moderation, and curation of player-generated assets, giving you control over how this content is incorporated into your game.

Contact us to enable the UGC feature and moderation queue on your account.

UGC Workflow

The UGC process involves several steps, from creation to promotion:

1. Asset Candidate Creation: Players create an Asset Candidate, optionally adding metadata and attaching in-game files.

   • If no files are required, the Asset Candidate can be marked as complete immediately after creation.

2. Marking as Complete: Once players are satisfied with their content, they mark the Asset Candidate as complete.

3. Moderation (if enabled): Completed Asset Candidates are added to a moderation queue for review. Administrators have the following options:

   • Approve: Promotes the Asset Candidate to a full asset immediately.

   • Reject: Keeps the Asset Candidate as is, updating its status to "Rejected" with an optional note explaining the reason.

   • Comment: Adds notes or feedback for another administrator to review.

4. Moderation (if disabled): If moderation is disabled, completed Asset Candidates are promoted automatically.

5. Promotion to Full Asset: Once promoted, the asset becomes available to other players and is treated as a regular game asset, eligible for use in inventories, rewards, or catalogs.

Asset Candidate

An Asset Candidate is a player-created asset awaiting promotion to full asset status. Players can create unlimited Asset Candidates and modify them until marked as complete. Moderation, if enabled, determines whether the candidate is promoted to a regular asset.

Editing Assets

UGC assets and Asset Candidates can be edited with different results depending on their state:

• Editing Asset Candidates: Players can edit completed Asset Candidates, resubmitting them to the moderation queue (or promoting them immediately if moderation is disabled).

• Editing Promoted Assets: When a promoted asset is edited, it is returned to a candidate state, marked as complete, and sent to the moderation queue (or promoted immediately if moderation is disabled). While the edited candidate is in review, the original asset remains live. Once the updated candidate is promoted, it replaces the original asset.

UGC Reports

LootLocker’s Feedback system allows players to report user-generated content, helping to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment. Reported content can be flagged for review, ensuring inappropriate or low-quality submissions are addressed promptly.
