Check CD or USB

#1 Post by SSooooo » Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:15 pm

Hi, I'm making games
I will put the installation files on CD or USB.
(I want to make things like game package.)
And I hope people who don't buy CDs or USB can't play my games.

To be exact, computer needs a CD or USB to run the game.

But I don't know code... Do you happen to know anyone?

Maybe you could evaluate the size of the content on the support, and use that as a key to allow to start the game/ use the main-menu. That would prevent starting it without the right support. You could also check for specific file, like the installer, for more precision.

Also, by memory, Ren'py game for PC doesn't use an installer...

It might not be much, but I don't think Ren'py is the most secure/drm friendly game engine out there.

This is intentional, as far as I am aware.
PyTom is strongly against DRM if I recall.
