# Building

Once you prepared your spritesheets and tested the client in the editor, it's time to build the project!

To build the client, select **Build** in **File** menu (default shortcut **Ctrl+Shift+B**).\
For consecutive builds, just click **Build And Run** (default shortcut **Ctrl+B**)

## Building for Windows/Linux/MacOS

in **Build Settings**, select your **PC, Mac & Linux Standalone** and specify your target platform.\
There are variety of options there, you can check them [here](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/BuildSettings.html).

Make sure that **Scenes/MainScene** is checked when building, otherwise it will produce an empty application.

Once you are done with your settings, click **Build** and select the folder you want to build to, typically you'd have a folder called **Builds**/\_**TargetPlatform\_** since his folder is ignored by Git.

If you want to profile the client, then make sure to check **Development Build** and **Autoconnect Profiler** to ensure that Unity Editor will profile your gameplay. Beware that this might cause lags as unity's profiling methods are intensive.
