Export & Download

Export turns your GenPy project into a standard game project package you can run, share, or continue working on outside GenPy. For most creators, it is the final step before testing in the game engine or preparing a build for release.

Export Modes

Full Project

A complete game project with scripts, assets, and configuration. This is the best choice for most users.

Scripts Only

Exports only your .rpy files. Use this when you want to merge GenPy writing into an existing game project.

Direct Run

Includes auto-setup so you can extract the download and launch it right away.

Bundled Runtime

Includes everything needed to play the project, even if the game engine is not already installed.

INFO

Before exporting, run Script Validation to catch missing jumps, broken flow, or other issues that are easier to fix before download.

Export Process

1. Open Export from the Publish workflow.
2. Review the file manifest to see what will be included.
3. Confirm the export mode and options.
4. Download the ZIP file.

Export Limits

• Free: 5 exports per month
• Pro: 30 exports per month
• Max / Business: Unlimited exports

Using the Export in the Game Engine

1. Extract the ZIP file.
2. Open the project in the engine launcher.
3. Choose Launch Project to test or continue development.

Which Mode Should You Choose?

• Choose Full Project if you want the simplest path.
• Choose Scripts Only if you already have a game project structure.
• Choose Direct Run if you want a quick handoff or easy local testing.
• Choose Bundled Runtime if you want the most self-contained package.

TIP

For most projects, Full Project is the safest and easiest export option. If you are unsure, start there.

Helpful Tips

• Always validate before exporting.
• Review the file list so nothing important is missing.
• Keep older exports if you want easy rollback points.
• Use a clear version name when downloading files for release prep.
