Creating a Custom Game Launcher<\/strong> is all about having complete freedom to design and develop a bespoke Windows launcher with no limits at all. Programming has always been to go-to scenario, from creating a game launcher in C++ to C#<\/a>, from Java to Python<\/a>. But programming is no longer required with the Game Launcher Creator.<\/p>\n

What is a Custom Game Launcher<\/h4>\n

\"TheSo, you have spent months maybe years design and developing your game. Whether it was in Unity<\/a>, RPG Maker<\/a>, Clickteam Fusion<\/a> or Unreal Engine. You have completed the BETA tests and are now ready for an official launch. But now you are thinking, maybe I need a game launcher?<\/p>\n

Game Launchers have been around since the mid-90s with the release of Windows and the new graphical user interface. A Game Launcher is the front-end to your game. Your users or players, can do things and get interactive with the game before even entering the main game.<\/p>\n

Think of your game launcher as the gateway to your game. Rather than your players launching straight into your game, you can present them with game options, game updates and interactive content from your website. It keeps them engaged with you as the developer.<\/p>\n

Launcher Components<\/h4>\n

A game launcher can be two types of application. It can be a simple \u2018Launch Game\u2019 window or it can be interactive, featuring other buttons such as \u2018Go to Website\u2019 or \u2018Check for Updates\u2019. This way, you can keep your players version of the game up-to-date and notify them of available updates.<\/p>\n

Without a launcher, your players probably wouldn\u2019t know there was an update unless you emailed them or they checked your website.<\/p>\n

With an Epic Game Launcher for your game, they will see this notification, or you can set your launcher to automatically update for them, as they will have seen it before even starting your game.<\/p>\n

A good game launcher should feature several components. A launch game button, an update button and at least a go to website button.<\/p>\n

If your player is presented with these options before game launch, it gives them a small window to get interactive with you as a developer. They can click buttons that will take them to your website, update their client version and even see visuals such as hi-score leader boards or how many people are currently playing online.<\/p>\n

Get Interactive<\/h4>\n

In order to build an epic custom game launcher, you have to be able to provide your players with content. Content is king, whether it\u2019s for online SEO or providing your players static or dynamic content for your games.
