Learn chapter

Take a playable indie game from local build to RetiPie discovery.

This chapter follows the real RetiPie path: create a game in Slice, upload a single HTML file or ZIP bundle, let the platform validate it, preview it in the same sandbox players use, then publish when the release is ready.

First-time RetiPie creators

Workflow

Publish Your First Indie Game on RetiPie

01
Creators start in RetiPie Slice, where a draft game collects title, description, category, tags, poster, and release files.
02
RetiPie accepts a single HTML file for self-contained games or a ZIP bundle with index.html at the root; every upload is validated and cleaned automatically.
03
Before publishing, you preview the release in the same sandboxed runtime players see from the mobile swipe feed.
