e "One thing Ren'Py makes easy is building distributions of your visual novel so you can give it to players."

|

e "Before you build distributions, you should use the Lint command to check your game for problems."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e "While not every potential problem lint reports is a real issue, they generally are, and you should try to understand what might be wrong."

|
|
e "This can be as simple as clicking the Build button, when you're not on a Mac."

e "If you are on a Macintosh, you can have Ren'Py sign the Mac application, which makes it easier for players to run. To enable this, you need to set build.mac_identity in options.rpy."

e "Ren'Py supports the mobile platforms, Android and iOS. We also support ChromeOS, through its ability to run Android apps."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e "These mobile platforms can be a bit more complicated. While Android apps can be built everywhere, iOS requires a Mac."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e "Mobile platforms might also require you to change your visual novel a little, due to the smaller limited devices. For example, buttons need to be made large enough for a person to touch."

e "Rather than cover mobile here, I'll point you to the {a=https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/android.html}Android{/a} and {a=https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/ios.html}iOS{/a} documentation, where you can read more."
