Exporting and Sharing Your Project

Exporting and Sharing Your Project

Once your story is complete, Kinexus provides tools to package it for sharing with players or to back up your data.

You can find all export options in the Project Menu.

Save Project

This is your primary way of saving your work. It updates the story.json file inside your project folder on your computer. Remember to save often! A warning icon will appear next to the "Scene Editor" title when you have unsaved changes.

Export Standalone Game

This option bundles your entire game into a single, shareable .zip file. This is the primary way to distribute your game to players.

The .zip file will contain:

• An index.html file (the game itself).
• Your story.json file.
• All the necessary image, video, and sound files that are actually used in your story.

How to Share: Players do not need Kinexus to play your game. They can simply:

1. Unzip the file.
2. Double-click the index.html file to play the game in their web browser.

You can also host the contents of the zip file on a web server (like GitHub Pages, Neocities, or itch.io) to make your game playable online.

Export Data

This option allows you to export specific parts of your project data as a JSON file. This is useful for backups or for use with external tools. For example, you can export a list of all the AI Image Prompts used in your project.
