Made a game? Want to release it and make other people enjoy your game? There's several ways to do it!
Contents
Packaging your game
Just release it as-is
This one is easy, but people who don't have Sphere would need to get Sphere in order to play your game.
- Browse to your game directory (in sphere/games/MyGameName).
- Zip/archive your game's folder.
- Release the zip on Spherical.
People who have Sphere can just launch copy the game into their games/ folder and open it with the startup game, or they can open the game.sgm straight with the engine/editor.
Include (the Windows version of) Sphere
<Instructions coming soon>
Release it as an SPK game package
An SPK is a packaged version of a Sphere game, in an alternative format that's a bit more tricky to extract the game out of. It allows you to distribute the game as a single file, though it's not used often as current Sphere has some issues dealing with SPK files.

Uploading your game
- If the game is small (< 128 KB), you can upload it straight on the forums.
- You can also upload your game on the Spherical Downloads Drive.
