# Renpyweb

Distributing for web browsers is a great way to get people to play your game without running Ren'Py executables. Great for those who are lazy to unpack your .zip file every time you update your game.

# Major Limitations

  • The asset streaming service isn't perfect. Even with a blazing fast internet speed it can cause sprites and backgrounds to appear blurry on first display. Also music only cuts in when a significant amount loads (personal experience: ~5 seconds after play command). If you're making a cutscene with timed music, consider having it preloaded in game.zip.
  • You can't play it on iOS browsers. Safari, Firefox, Chrome on the iPhone... they won't let you play this. Sorry.

# How To Set Up

  1. Press this on the launcher- -and let it download the necessary files.
  2. Press this button- -and wait.
  3. Your files should be in the builds folder. That's it!
