Exporting Your Games: Step-by-Step Process
Once you’ve created your game in Gamebase Studio, exporting to various platforms is straightforward. The platform supports multiple export formats for different distribution channels.
Supported Export Formats
- Windows and Mac desktop applications
- Web-based HTML5 games playable in browsers
- Mobile formats for iOS and Android devices
- Console builds for selected platforms
To export your game, navigate to the Build menu and select your target platform. Gamebase Studio will compile your project and generate the appropriate files for distribution.
The Windows and Mac exports create standalone applications that players download and run locally. These exports are ideal for premium games you plan to sell on platforms like Steam.
Web exports generate HTML5 games playable directly in browsers without installation. This format is perfect for reaching casual players and embedding games on your website or gaming portals.
Mobile exports compile your game for iOS and Android, with optimization for different screen sizes and touch controls. Publishing on app stores requires additional developer accounts and review processes.
Export Best Practices
- Test thoroughly on your target platform before publishing
- Optimize graphics and assets for platform-specific performance
- Check platform-specific requirements and guidelines
- Include proper metadata and descriptions for distribution stores
Gamebase Studio handles most technical optimization automatically, but reviewing platform guidelines ensures compliance and better player reviews.
