You do not need Unity, Ren’Py exports, or an App Store listing to reach readers. A browser-first platform like Arleco hosts your series, serves chapters over HTTPS, and lets readers start on any device with a link.
1. Ship chapter 1 when it is live-ready
Publish the first chapter when dialogue, art, and at least one complete path through the episode work. Later chapters can stay draft until you finish them — readers see “locked” until you publish or schedule.
2. Preview like a reader
Use in-studio play mode from your opening beat. Check mobile layout, choice buttons, and metric gates. Fix pacing before you mark the episode public.
3. Schedule or publish instantly
From episode details you can publish now or set a schedule for a future date. Scheduled chapters show as “coming soon” on the series page until they go live — useful for weekly releases.
4. Grow on Discover
Published series appear on Arleco Discover. Write a clear short description, tag mature content honestly, and link your series on social — the reader URL works without an install funnel.
