Distribution trouble

[KoolKrakens]

Hello.


So today I made a game using RPG Maker MV. I went to deployment and selected Windows. Once that was done, I wanted to publish the game on gamejolt. However, I have no idea whatsoever on how I do that. A little help please?

I only use VX, so I don't know if this applies, but when you deploy the game, does it compress it all inside a .exe file?

We can't answer such general questions - you need to tell us with which step you're having problems, and what the people of GameJolt have told you what they require from you.

Well, I am having problems in actually uploading the game for people to download. I just have the folder with the game and other stuff. Im new to this whole thing, so I don't understand what I need to do after I have deployed the game

You'll need to pack the output folder into an archive. You can use a simple zip-archive, but most people prefer either a self-extracting archives or a full installer - for both you'll find programs on the web.


The result of that is the file you need to upload for distribution.

 

[KoolKrakens]

Alright, but now the game refuses to start.

Please describe to us what you have done - we can't help you unless we know where you made mistakes.


And also give us the error what happens if the player tries to start the game - for example if he gets a whitescreen only, he needs to update his graphic driver.
