Acron is used with an Acron account — free to create, and one sign-in for the launcher, the forum and Studio downloads. Install the Acron Launcher, sign in, and it creates your projects and installs the engine into each of them — the right version, from the Acron package archive, kept up to date when you choose.

How It Works

From Account to Running Game

1

Create an Acron account

Sign up in a minute — it is free. The same account signs you in to the launcher, the package archive, Studio downloads and the forum. Licensing — yearly licences and monthly subscriptions — is on the pricing page. Teams can talk to sales.

2

Install the launcher and sign in

The Acron Launcher is a small desktop app — download it for your system. Sign in from it — it opens your browser to sign in and keeps the session in your system keychain. Signing in activates your account's licence on this machine; Settings › License shows it. It brings its own copy of uv and the acronmanager tool, so there is nothing else to set up.

3

Create a project

Pick a folder and an engine version. The launcher writes the project's pyproject.toml, creates a Python 3.14 environment and installs the engine and acronmanager into it. Changing the engine version later is one click; the project's files stay plain Python and glTF.

4

Build, run, ship

Open the project in Acron Studio or your own editor, run it from the launcher, and use acronmanager — or the launcher's buttons — to build assets, run tests, and export for the desktop, the web, Android and the Wii. The manual walks you through it, and its Distributing section covers every platform.
