[@richardstevenson371]

Me, one hour before gam jam submission, realizing I've never built to WebGL or published on Itch:
My savior.

[@PastaCouch]

Awesome tutorial. I also appreciate the extra bits of useful information added in. 10/10. Subscribed!

[@Cryantis]

I can't thank you enough for this you have literally shaped the future of my games! Thank you so much for the help 🙌

[@0997udan]

Same Here!

[@imvincible1391]

Thanks sooo much! My game was due for a school project and i had it made but I just couldn't figure out how to upload it!! Thanks so much!

[@imvincible1391]

(Also its so nice to see a fellow girl in coding! Every other unity video I've found was by a boy)
Not saying that's wrong its just nice to see another girl!

[@samyam]

I agree! There needs to be more representation in game dev and coding. Good luck on your project!

[@imvincible1391]

​@@samyam Thanks :D

[@GoldGameDev23]

thank you so much for this! still super helpful 3 years later for a new dev :)

[@davidmullins8961]

[@davidoregan_]

I can't even count the times I've been back here lmao

[@graciiee]

I want to make a game where you can play it on PC and on IOS AppStore, idk if you explained it but how do you upload it so it can be playable on both platforms?

[@samyam]

Hey! For iOS you are going to need to use the App Store and export the game with a Mac computer.
Here are some instructions docs.unity3d.com/Manual/iphone-GettingStarted.html
Then in itch.io you can link to your game in the app store

[@sahpdude]

Samyam a quality Brackeys successor

[@user-ll8xb3xo6f]

Thanks so much! I spent too long with 7zip and for some reason it worked the first time the way I tried after seeing you do it normally. I guess that site can't process 7zip files or something cuz it seemed the same lol I feel so happy and relieved and Meh at the same time from spending wayyyy too many hours with it lol thanks again!!! My sanity is slowly coming back

When i try to play my WebGL version I get this error: “An error occurred running the unity content on this page. See your JavaScript console for more info.”
I also tried using the downloadable pc version, but that also didn’t work.
Am I the only one?

[@TheLycan66]

I'm having the exact same issue, I've had successful builds in the past. Not sure what is going wrong

[@samyam]

Press F12 while in the web and go to console tab, see what error it shows there might help clarify the problem more.

[@giulianonobili5527]

thanks very cool!

[@mcleverm01]

Thanks for the video, Sam! It was really well done! Got a question for WebGL: Are there certain types of physics or triggers that WebGL works better with when you convert it from a Unity Windows platform? i.e. OnTriggerEnter2D and Collider2D? I've seen some issues with that. Any comments or physics to stay away from? Thanks!

[@CODEFORTRESS]

hey samyam,
I uploaded the zip file. but when I was trying to open the .exe file. This is being shown: windows protected your pc windows smartscreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.
So Help!

[@samyam]

That's because of the firewall in Windows, it can happen, but here's a thread that may help
itch.io/t/149696/getting-your-game-past-windows-smart-defender

[@petelovagssecondaccount5291]

How can i add multiple builds? I want to add both an html and a downloadable but when i uploaded the 2nd one it just removes the 1st one

[@imvincible1391]

Hmmm, maybe just make two separate games?

[@samyam]

You can add both, you can select HTML and then upload the files be sure to click This file will be played in the browser + Hide this file and prevent it from being downloaded. Then you can upload your other build and select the correct OS.

[@Spirhack]

Ty!

[@yushuzhang1187]

Thank you!

[@IGotNoNameZ]

This is a very good tutorial, Got a question, can you have a downloadable version and a webGL version at the same time?

[@samyam]

Yes! You can have multiple versions uploaded

[@bestlouki]

thank you

[@blueshieldgameproduction3573]

Hi, i followed your tutorial and published my first game on itch.io, i made a launcher for my game, but when i download the laucher windows defender would blockit and say that i'm an unknown publisher, i tried to redo the proces without the launcher, using your metod but it says the same again, that i am an unknown publisher, what i did wrong?, how can i fix this?

[@samyam]

I haven't made a launcher for a game so I'm not totally sure. Maybe you can reach out to their support team
