For your game to work you will need both of these to be uploaded to a server. If you have chosen to build HTML5, then an index.html (default name, but you can give your own name too) along with a folder containing your game's files will be created and saved to the specified location.When creating a single EXE you can get issues when saving files and it may not run on certain machine conficurations. The export file type is chosen from a drop-down menu within the 'Save' dialogue itself, as shown by the image below: Please note that the 'Single Runtime Exe' is designed for use only for quick testing and should not be used for distribution (use the Zip or Installer options). This can be an installer, a stand-alone *.exe or a *.zip. If you have the setting as 'Windows' in the main GameMaker: Studio window, then only a Windows compatible file will be made.Target Platform FormatsĮach target option saves to a platform specific format: NOTE: Before doing a final build of your project for release, you should always clear the Asset Compiler Cache (using the green 'broom' icon at the top of the IDE) to ensure that all cached files are recreated and no stale files corrupt your final game.
Once you have done this, the necessary files will be generated so that you can distribute it as you wish. Once everything is correct, you then go into the File menu and select the item Create Executable or you can press the following button, found on the main IDE toolbar beside the Play and Debug buttons:Įither option will open a save window where you can give the final name that you wish to use for your game file. Each of the individual targets has their own settings and you must ensure that they are correctly configured in the Global Game Settings and Preferences before you continue. First you have to choose the 'target' for the files to be made which means choosing whether you wish to create an *.exe for Windows, generate JavaScript and HTML for use in a browser, or create a package for one of the other target modules.
Creating stand-alone applications is very easy with GameMaker: Studio.
