from my research this is because i packaged the game with pyinstaller in --onefile mode. Because a lot of viruses are made with python and packaged in this mode with pyinstaller, windows defender no longer trusts any files packaged in this way. unfortunately pyinstaller was the best documented python packager I could find that was compatible with Linux, and onefile mode was the best way to package it as a single executable file. its a fairly common issue to the point that a keyword search of "pyinstaller" "virus" "false positive" yields 2220 results on google.
