Releasing a Game or Demo

[rina-chan]

Hey there! I would like to know how to release a demo of your game and how to upload onto a website for people to download. Also when you turn the game into a demo, can you still edit it? Thanks! ┌U･ｪ･U┘♪

Well, if you're using Renpy, click on build distributions. If you do that, you can still edit it, unless you archived the files.

I'm going to piggyback off this question.

I built my distributions and now cannot find them. Where does RenPy put them?

This feels like one of those questions where the answer will become immediately evident to me once I ask, but I am driving myself insane trying to find them.

Edit:aaaand after thirty minutes of looking I finally realize they are zip files in the parent directory. I knew I'd find them once I broke down and asked.

Uploading them to a website depends on your web space. Do you use a host like...um...what do kids use these days? I think GeoCities is gone...not sure about Angelfire...meh, if you go through a company like Google or Yahoo! or something, then you'll follow their directions. If you have a personal website, you'll either need to upload it via FTP, or whatever upload software your space provider uses.

If you don't have a website or anything, there's always mediafire.com for free uploading, too
