HTML PressKit Generator is a way to create a doPresskit() page in html for your company without the need to use a server, local or not, as in original implementation or in presskit.html.

The advantages of HTML PressKit Generator can be summarized in:

  • No need to use a dynamic php server or host. Since we generate a static .HTML as a final file, you can easily use GitHub Pages as the hosting location for your DoPressKit version.
  • The possibility of downloading the original files/codes both to run them directly (in case you don’t feel safe running an .exe on your computer), as well as to optimize or implement new features if necessary.

With that, as it is a simple re-implementation of what was created by Rami Ismail of Vlambeer, it was created for people who don’t have a hosting or money for (as I didn’t) and also without the commitment or knowledge to install a local server and then convert to html. Thus, there is no easier way to explain how it works than “download and run the .exe”, but a small tutorial will be present next.

Recap: Why do i need this?

  • On doPresskit you need a server so everything is automatically created using .php. Yes, you can use MPMP, XAMP, …, but the final file remains in .php, meaning you need a server to keep it up and running.
  • The presskit.html will do exactly what you possibly want, which is to create a presskit.html, but you will need to use Node.js to let him do that. So if you don’t want to install other programs, or don’t know how to use Node.js here is the right place.
  • So, with HTML PressKit Generator you just need to run the executable and follow the instructions without installing or using anything else, and in the end you will have your static html site.

So here we go, how to start? ?

  1. Download “HTML_PressKit_Generator.exe” from this same directory.
  2. Run the .exe.
  3. It will automatically create a folder (/images), and that is the only folder that you need to put the files.
  4. Now choose your language: ptBR or enUS.
  5. Now you are in the menu, and have 3 options.
  6. Press [1] — to check the files you need.
  7. Press [2] — to start, and fill all informations about your Game/Company
  8. Press [ESC] — to exit the program.
  9. That’s it.
  10. When you finish all the steps, a index.html will be created in the directory.
