Export game as exe or apk offline?

GDevelop general
#1

Is there a way to export the game offline somehow or is it only by internet? I have limited connection in periods and sometimes only mobile network and it could get expensice, that’s why I wondering.

Also…is Gdevelop gonna be free for ever? I just love it and it the first program I accouly could hände and make something with. I did try learning C# and java to make games before but it was to hard and I didn’t manage to fix bugs but this is more straight forward and easy, even a lot of tutorial. Great job to the developer(s).

You can always export locally, but you’ll need to complete the build process yourself.

Here’s how to do it for Android: Publish your game to Android and iOS manually using Cordova [GDevelop wiki]

Here’s how to do it for Windows: Publish your game to Windows, macOS and Linux manually using Electron and Electron Builder [GDevelop wiki]

And yes, as far as I know, GD5 is designed to be a full open source project for the duration, so it should remain free forever.

Thank you for the links. I do understand the Android now.

Electron for windows makes me scratch my head. I dont really understand how to get it to work. But there is good documented so i have to try it again. I think im doing something wrong.
