Exporting for PC¶
The simplest way to distribute a game for PC is to copy the executables
(godot.exe
on Windows, godot
on the rest), compress the folder
and send it to someone else. However, this is often not desired.
Godot offers a more elegant approach for PC distribution when using the
export system. When exporting for PC (Linux, Windows, macOS), the exporter
takes all the project files and creates a data.pck
file. This file is
bundled with a specially optimized binary that is smaller, faster and
does not contain the editor and debugger.
