PCK Encryption
==============

Godot has an amazing and powerful feature to encrypt your PCK file. This adds an additional layer of security to your games.

Please read Godot's official docs to have a better understanding of this feature `PCK Encryption <https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/compiling/compiling_with_script_encryption_key.html>`_.

From Godot Docs:

``This will make sure your scenes, scripts and other resources are not stored in plain text``

What is needed?
---------------

This process has 3 main steps:

#. Enable PCK export in your game configuration
#. Compile export templates with new key
#. Export game with new Export Templates
