How to Build and Test Your Unity Game

You’ve gotten your game to a point where you want an executable for testing, so how do you do that?

First, we start by opening up File > Build Settings in Unity. From there, you can look through deployment options, including things like the platform you want to deploy for, and the resolutions at which it will be able to run.

Once you have everything set up the way you want, its time to actually create a build. This will prompt you to select a folder to create the build in. Unity will then begin the process of creating a build of your game! Once complete, this build can be shared to others and used for testing. This build is a snapshot of the game exactly how it was when you created it, any modifications to the Unity project will not be reflected in this executable.
