Somehow unable to release my game?[SOLVED]

#1 Post by Licie » Sat Sep 26, 2015 7:27 am

(Ren'py)
I've been making my game and I am not complete yet but I want to let a friend of mine to run through it but somehow I can't release it,I keep getting the error of

Building Distribution failed
The build.directory_name variable may not include space,colon,or semicolon characters.

To be honest I have no idea what it meant at all and I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly what can I do..

It would really help me out if someone could answer..Thank you so much in advance!

Go to your option.rpy at the end you will find the build.directory_name.

Remove all spaces from the name :D
