Ideas for publishing

Hey guys, I’ve been looking for some ideas on where to publish Rise

Does anyone have any good online games websites or other ideas where I can publish?
(I don’t think I want to publish it to places like itch where you can download it)

Thanks!

JR_01 can tell you how to put a game on itch.io
If you do his method your game will only be playable in browser, not downloadable.

Mobile controls, appstore.
If for some reason you still don’t want your game to succeed as a mobile viral hit then you can publish it on Newgrounds and Itch.io, potentially making a bit of cash too.

I would suggest Itch.io and Newgrounds if you want to go further on to google play I would suggest cloning it for a mobile version which would also come in handy for the flowlab mobile arcade which may be coming out.

Steam Or itch.io

I’ll just reiterate some of what others have already said:

Itch.io doesn’t require the game to be downloadable
NewGrounds is focused on browser games
Game Jolt seems like a decent place to publish your game

and of course, I would love to see a Flowlab game on Steam since to my knowledge nobody has ever published there (I think it costs like 100 bucks?)

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I’m thinking about GameJolt as a decent option. I will try to put it on Itch also.

A hundred bucks to be able to publish? Jeez, as if Steam didn’t make enough money already

I will say Newgrounds is harsh and will criticize all corners of the game. I just started using Jolt but I haven’t found the appeal in it yet. What I really recommend is using itch and it doesn’t require download. Itch also has a great dashboard to see how much your games are getting played.

Here is my topic on how to make games playable on other sites:

It’s just a down payment so no bad games are just thrown in willy nilly, but if your game makes a certain amount of revenue (I think $1000) then you get the $100 back from Steam. It’s just insurance, really.
