How to Build & Test Your Unity Game

Let’s Play!

Now that I have a complete, error free, playable game, it’s time to check out the Build Settings and test the game play.

• First, click on File at the top of the Unity screen.
• Select Build Settings.
• Make sure you have selected the Platform you wish to create. I chose the PC, Mac, & Linux Standalone, as this game was built for Windows.
• At the bottom of the Build Settings window, select Player Settings.

Within the Player Settings windows there are many options. For now, we will focus on the “Resolution & Presentation” tab.

• Click the “Resolution & Presentation” tab to expand its options.
• Since I don’t yet have an option in the game to exit fullscreen mode, I selected the “Windowed” option and placed a checkmark in the “Resizable Window” option.

• Next, close the Player Settings window.
• On the Build Settings window, click on the “Build” button.
• Give your build a name a select the folder where you want the build to be saved.

Unity will build the game and open the folder where it was saved.

• Close the Build Settings window.

Let’s Play!

With the folder open, you will find the .EXE file. Double click that file and the game will play. Have fun.
