Encryption Discussion

[Golden Unicorn Gaming]

All,


Since I intend to release a commercial game *eventually*, I've been looking into what comes after game creation has been finalized.  I'm seeing many, many opinions on Encryption, and that there are "degrees" of encryption.  What is the acceptable route to go?  Do I have to hire someone to do it, or will Tsukihime's process work/is it acceptable?  


Here is Hime's link...

I've also heard that Steam will do it for you, or itchio will... general thoughts from people who've gone the commercial route would be greatly appreciated.

First question. Are you using RPG Maker MV, or one of the RGSSx based makers? (RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX, RPG Maker VX Ace)

RPG Maker VX Ace.

Personally I go with the standard VX Ace encryption.


For Steam specifically I use their DRM wrapper around the standard exe-file + a script call.


For non-Steam releases I would follow the guidelines presented here:
