New Feature - Download and play games on your computer

Announcements
1

So lots of people have asked about a downloadable desktop version of your games, so I have started on this feature. If you have a pro account, there is a new button labeled “Build for Desktop” next to each in your games list. Clicking this button will build downloadable, installable version of your game.

Now, when someone plays your game there will be an “install” button underneath it. Clicking this button will install a version of your game to play locally.

This feature is not yet complete!

Specifically, you still need an internet connection to play it :frowning:

I will be adding an offline cache next, so that they will no longer need a connection, but I wanted to get it released for feedback ASAP.

Hey Super Creator, it works fine. When you click it, the progress bar just displays while it builds. If you go to your play game page:

https://flowlab.io/game/play/31062

You will see an “install” button underneath it. Click that button and it will install on your computer.

W-man, think of it this way. grazer spent the last few years spending tons of time and money, building Flowlab. I’m sure he was hoping people would donate or get premium since the site itself is free to use.
It could have a 30 day trial.
He is very generous.

Yeah some website builders only give you trials but weebly and webs site builder give you unlimited time

Same thing with wordpress. And, my website (Westleyellis.com) PREMIUM UNDER CONSTRUCTION. :smiley: anyway, I am glad he didn’t make a 30-day free trial.
