To make a new Jocly game available on the site here, you would have to upload its *-model.js, *-view.js and *-config.js in the game library (the dist/browser/games/chessbase that is created after running gulp for building) to /play/jocly/dist/browser/games/chessbase/ on CVP. The model and view files from the source code won't do; the building process concatenates these with the base-model and view, and other sub-models that are specified in index.js.

You then also have to add a line for the game in /play/jocly/dist/browser/jocly-allgames.js to make it appear in the list of 'other Jocly games'. If you want it to be displayed together with a thumbnail there, you should also upload that to where the allgames line says it is. If the game uses dedicated resources, such as new pieces, these files would have to be uploaded too.

The whole effort of this will only become visible if both your browser's cache and the CloudFlare cache have flushed out the old allgames file. You can do the first thing yourself, but the normal way of pressing Shift while loading the Jocly page doesn't work; you have to explicitly view the allgames file yourself, and reload that without caching. And over CloudFlare users have no control at all. You'd have to wait a few weeks, or ask Fergus.
