Should I package my game or is it okay just to leave it in the VR preview mode for the length of a 4 day exhibition? What are the benefits and troubles of packaging a game?

I have been using unreal engine for only four months so far. I am making an architectural visualisation tour for a project and will presenting it in a 4 day exhibition for lots of people to try.

PS. I made the game inside the City Sample as I wanted to use a city background, so the file is massive. Also I have a mixture of a first person pawn and VR pawn being used in order to preview a introduction video on a screen before using the VR headset.

The main benefit of packaging your game in some form, is people without the editor can run it.

If you’re going to be hiding your laptop in a box which has a display on it, probably don’t bother. There can be plenty of difficulties :slight_smile:
