FAQ
The file I uploaded does not look right - what did I do wrong?
Make sure that you follow the specified file formats as well as the measurements. Objects that do not follow the specifications often appear broken or invisible. The recommended image size is always specified above the image drop box.
How do I upload my own font?
You can upload your own fonts under Assets & Settings --> Fonts. You will need to upload two font weights. The font will then be available in all font selection drop-down across the platform. You can read more about adding fonts in Assets & Settings here.
Can I use Gifs/animations in my Game?
No. Flarie Studio does not support GIFs or animations to be uploaded. The biggest reason for this is that it will negatively impact the user experience as the Game will take much longer to load. Many of our Games does support Sprite Sheets though, which can be used as animations. If the Image in a Game supports spritesheet, this will always be stated in the image title. You can read more about sprite sheets here.
How do Spritesheets work?
A sprite sheet is a single image file that contains multiple smaller images (or "sprites") arranged in a grid or similar layout. These sprites are typically individual frames or components of a larger animated or interactive visual, such as characters, backgrounds, or objects in a game. By loading and displaying portions of the sprite sheet at different times, you can create animations or dynamic visuals efficiently without needing multiple image files.
Is there an image bank where I can find free assets to use in my Game?
At this time, Flarie Studio does not offer an image bank but we have one in the works, so keep an eye out!

Control Expiration: Use the end date to stop players from accessing the Game after a specific period, like when a promotion ends.

Navigate to the 'Time Period' section of your game. If you have added a Start Date and an End Date to your game - you will be able to activate "Split Game" which allows you to add multiple time periods to your Game.

In the "More Options" dropdown - you can either import settings from a different Game or import settings from a Template in order to import settings to your existing Game.

In the "More Options" dropdown, you can select "Duplicate this version" which creates an exact copy of your Game and adds it to your dashboard.

How can I make sure that our activation is GDPR compliant?
Ensuring GDPR compliance when using a Flarie game on social media involves a few key steps to protect player data and meet legal requirements.
Here’s a quick checklist to help:
1. Transparency and Consent Clearly Communicate Data Usage:
When promoting the game, inform players about the data you’ll collect and how it will be used. Obtain Explicit Consent: Ensure players actively consent to data collection (e.g., via checkboxes for agreeing to terms and conditions). Use Privacy Notices: Link to a GDPR-compliant privacy policy in your game or social media posts.
2. Data Minimization
Collect only the data you need for the game. Avoid asking for sensitive data unless absolutely necessary.

Flarie Studio already applies encryption and secure storage practices, but ensure the API keys and integrations you use for social media or analytics are handled securely.
4. User Rights
Be prepared to address player requests regarding their data, such as: Access to their information. Deletion of their data. Revocation of consent.
5. Third-Party Tools
If you integrate third-party tools (e.g., Facebook Pixels or Google Analytics) to track engagement, ensure these tools comply with GDPR. They should also allow users to opt out of tracking.
6. Player Opt-Out
Include a clear method for players to opt out of data collection and processing.
