The '''[[Pokémon 3D]] launcher''' is a download manager and information source. | |||
Its primary function is to download the latest game files and unzip them in the right location automatically. Prior to Indev 0.53.3, the '''launcher''' was mandatory in opening the [[Pokémon 3D|game]], but has now become an optional feature for easier [[Pokémon 3D|game]] loading. In order to play the [[Pokémon 3D|game]] you have to start the '''launcher''', which provides the option to start the [[Pokémon 3D|game]] by clicking the ''Start game'' button. It also informs the [[player]] about the current version of the game by showing a popup if the [[Pokémon 3D|game]] got updated. One can also download the latest [[Pokémon 3D|game]] files manually by clicking the ''Check for Updates'' button. | |||
For Indev 0.53.3, the '''launcher''' was dropped in support of the official GameJolt Launcher. For Indev 0.54, all launcher support was scraped; the game would now instantly open when clicked on. From Indev 0.54.1 onwards, players had the option of using the new '''launcher''' to automatically run the [[Pokémon 3D|game]], check for updates, and manage profiles. | |||

The Pokémon 3D launcher is a download manager and information source. Its primary function is to download the latest game files and unzip them in the right location automatically. Prior to Indev 0.53.3, the launcher was mandatory in opening the game, but has now become an optional feature for easier game loading. In order to play the game you have to start the launcher, which provides the option to start the game by clicking the Start game button. It also informs the player about the current version of the game by showing a popup if the game got updated. One can also download the latest game files manually by clicking the Check for Updates button.
For Indev 0.53.3, the launcher was dropped in support of the official GameJolt Launcher. For Indev 0.54, all launcher support was scraped; the game would now instantly open when clicked on. From Indev 0.54.1 onwards, players had the option of using the new launcher to automatically run the game, check for updates, and manage profiles.
The new launcher's development can be followed at any time by viewing its GitHub page.
