Build your Experience

A Genies Experience needs to be built for testing and publishing the project. This is not the same process as a regular Unity project because it needs to be built specifically for the Genies Party app.

Requirements to Build​

Before attempting to build the Experience, make sure it meets these requirements:

  • Latest version of CLI and SDK are installed.
  • No custom C# scripts.
  • No custom HLSL and GLSL shaders, but shader graphs are fine to use.
  • No custom DLLs or other assemblies.
  • Editing assemblies is disallowed.
  • All custom assets (scenes, prefabs, etc.) are within the Assets > Experiences folder.
  • The manifest file (ExperienceInfo.json) has the correct information.
  • The Unity installation has the necessary platform modules.

How to Build​

Make sure all requirements are completed before starting the steps to build an Experience.

Experience Settings Asset​

Inside the Assets > Experiences folder, there is an asset named Experience Settings. Select this asset and open the Inspector window. Fill in all the inputs for the Experience.

Build Experience Button​

To start building the project, select the top Unity menu Genies > Experiences > Build Experiences. This will start the build process and create a build file when completed.

Build File​

Once the build process is complete, the Unity project folder will have a build.genies build file and ExperienceBuildOutput folder which contains the unzipped contents of your build file.
