Looking for games to play that want feedback

If you would like feedback, please comment a link to your game and any specific requests for the type/quantity of feedback you would like. I will play and score your submission if I have time.

If you want to do the same for me, you can do that here

Easiest way to upload Unity builds automatically (Almost no work)

Butler (Tool)

Use the tool provided by itch called 'butler'. Check it out here

It is easy to use and lets you avoid any manual file upload to itch directly.

I use the following 4 commands to publish my game

  • butler push webgl user/game:webgl
  • butler push windows user/game:windows
  • butler push osx user/game:osx
  • butler push linux user/game:linux
Steps for building
  1. Create a Builds folder in you game folder (MyGame/Builds)
  2. Create folders in Builds for each of your build targets (webgl, windows, osx, linux)
  3. Build each version of your game from unity (This is the time consuming part)
    • webgl and windows are straightforward
    • linux requires you create a .x86_64 file, name this after your game.
    • osx requires you create a *.app folder. Put this in the osx folder if it is not after building.
  4. Run each of the 4 commands
  5. On itch, change the webgl build to 'run in browser'. The other 3 builds will be automatically tagged weith the correct platforms.

The results should how your entire upload history like this (The post compo uploads are only bugfixes)

WebGL

Target WebGL from the start! It is the most accessible platform and requires the least amount of work for players to start. Reduce the friction of getting into your game so you get more plays and more feedback.

Providing other builds is also helpful, but IMO WebGL is by far the most important.

Need feedback or ratings?

Post a link to your game in the comments and what kind of feedback you want (quantity, depth, harshness) and I will give it a play!

I am looking for feedback too! Check my game here if you have time. 80s-poster-big.png
