How to Build and Test your Unity Game

Creating the executable files to test the game without the Unity editor

Objective: Use the build option to create the files to test the game on the computer.

Unity the “Build” option to create the necessary files to play or test the game on a specific platform. In order to do that the first step is go to “File > Build Settings”.

Then you have to select the platform, in this example I selected “PC, Mac, Linux Standalone”, depending on the platform we have different options for the build. In this case my target platform is gonna be Mac OS X.

We also have to add all the scenes that we want to include in the game.

Once you have all setup, we only have to select “Build” and select the folder to save the build (This step may take more time if the game and the assets have large size).

And good to go! You can go to the build folder and run the game.
