Honestly not sure how to deploy the game so only friends can play?

How do I send a game I've created to someone else, just so they can play it? I tried using Dropbox to send the game file, but it didn't work...

you have to send the entire deployment file, not just the game.exe

@LetchkuSnow...


When deploying to the appropriate platform, the System asks for a destination Folder. It's this complete Folder that has to be sent to others (it's common to 'zip' the Folder so as to have only one file to send...). It's the whole Folder, or a 'zip' file of that whole Folder, that go to Dropbox or equivalent. Your friends have to download that whole Folder; if it's a 'zip' file, they will have to 'un-zip' it, thus creating the whole Folder on their System.


Hope this helps.

Yeah, I figured it out. lol


Had to download 7zip, drag the folder to deploy it, change the file to "ZIP", clicked okay, then sent it to my dropbox so I could make it into a link to send to them.
