Features

Platforms and shipping

Export your game to Windows and Linux, and to the web in preview.

The editor exports a single .exe that runs on a Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit) with nothing installed, or a Linux build with a tarball or an AppImage. Web export, a static folder any web host can serve, is in preview. Mac, iPhone and Android come later. The editor, the launcher and its installer run on Windows; the Linux build of the engine and editor is in testing. The launcher keeps engine versions side by side and every project on the version it was made with.

  • Bring your models

    Import glTF models with their materials. Textures are compressed for each platform when you export.
