I've been making a game using Node-RED for awhile now and it's getting close to a state where I would like to be able to distribute it to others. Perhaps on Steam if at all possible. In the past I packaged a early version of it using electron, I believe following @dceejay GitHub - dceejay/electron-node-red: Electron Node-RED template template. Is there a more up to date guide or better method that I might want to use? I'm not very experienced in distributing my projects to others, and could use some advice. I want to make it as simple as possible for others to purchase and use. Or would it be better to try for a donations model of monetization (I've never monetized a project before)?
Currently I'm a one man dev team, is this even feasible or do I need others like a publisher or second dev?
I run into the following error but it does seem to build:

However my images don't load, so I must be doing the static routes incorrectly or is the error causing the problem?
