Releasing a game with zip file only

[isobellesophia]

Hi,

I was wondering if i release a game, it is automatically posted in itch.io, in the google play store or in the Ren'py game lists?
All i wanted is, if i start making a demo game, sharing it to my friends, i want to release it only in the zip files without posting it in public.. Is that possible?

Sorry for silly question, first time asking about releasing.

I sure hope not... I have been testing how it works building a distribution and there would be some serious garbage out there if that would be the case.

Seriously, I don't think it works that way, you'll have to do those publishing tasks separately (once you want to do them), the process it only generates the zip file.

So you can post it in any websites like Mediafire or Google Drive right?
Or you can keep it in your computer folder.. just in case.

Sure, do anything you want with it, it's just a file. I delete them after checking what I want to check, I'm afraid they'd come alive and chase me around the house.
