I didn't understand what do ı have to do exactly..? there can't be any copyright problem, because we made all these stuff.
 * (I've moved your question down - it's simplest if new bits are added to the bottom of a talk page)


 * It's all very well to say that you "made all this stuff", but we have no way to know that someone at the end of a wire is who he says he is, and we have to be very careful about copyright. The way to release material to Wikipedia is described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials.


 * But it is probably not worth doing that, because there is no indication that your game is notable enough to have an article. Notability, for Wikipedia's purposes, is not a matter of opinion but must be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people unconnected with the subject thought it interesting and important enough to write substantial comment about? An encyclopedia is not here to help promote new things.


 * Also, if it's your own invention, in writing about it you have a WP:Conflict of interest. You should really wait until your game takes off, there is independent comment about it like reviews, and some fan independently decides to write an article. See WP:SCRABBLE.
