[Question]Game Icon

#1 Post by Vamides »

If this was asked already, then pardon my laziness.

I want to know if Ren'Py has a way of assigning an icon to the game's exe when you build distributions.

If not, you do so with a special software, right? Can you give me a few recommendations?

You need to place icon.ico and icon.icns files in the game's base directory, and then build distributions. These files must be in specific formats, which you can use the icofx program to make.

Ah, thank you. I was placing them in the wrong folder.
