What are Pinecoins?

Pinecoins pay for AI tools. You get more every month and can top up under Plans → Pinecoins. Failed generations are refunded. See “AI creative tools” for prices.

Can I lose my work?

Larch saves to the cloud automatically; ⌘/Ctrl + S saves right away. Version history keeps snapshots, and you can name your own copies of important moments.

Can I make games on a phone?

Larch opens in a phone browser, but a computer works best for making games. Players can play the web version on their phones.

Can I sell the games I make?

Yes. You can release the exported web and Windows versions yourself. Official Larch packs may be used in commercial games, but not resold as files; third-party sample assets follow their own licences.

Can we make a game together?

Yes. Invite collaborators with Share board, and everyone can edit the same board at once.

Is the interface available in English?

Yes — switch it under Preferences → Interface language. Your game can also have English, Japanese and other languages, chosen on the title screen.

I can’t draw. Can I still make a game?

Yes. The marketplace has many free packs, and on Pro AI can paint characters and backgrounds.
