Building Distributions
You must be registered to see the links
Ren'Py includes support for building game distributions. Upon choosing "Build Distributions" in the launcher, Ren'Py will scan itself and the project to determine the files to include in the distribution, will create any archives that are necessary, and will build package and update files.
With no configuration, Ren'Py is able to build the following kinds of packages:
PC: Windows and Linux
A zip file targeting Windows x86_64 and Linux x86_64
Linux
A tar.bz2 file targeting Linux x86_64. This will also include the 32-bit and 64-bit ARM version of Ren'Py, if present. (These are found in the sdkarm Ren'Py package.)
Macintosh
A zip file containing a Macintosh application targeting Macintosh OS X on Intel processors. Game data will be included inside the application, which appears to the user as a single file.
Windows
A zip file targeting Windows x86_64.
Windows, Mac, and Linux for Markets
A distribution that contains the information required to run on software markets like itch.io and Steam. This isn't meant to be run directly (and probably won't work on the Mac), but should be fed to the app store upload process.
