How to publish your Game as Webbrowser Game

じ☆ve冰风

Hey all,

So I was asked to write a short tutorial on publishing a Game as Webbrowser game so that others can play it instantly. RPG Maker already outputs a game as an HTML/js application, so there isn't much work to do.

Before hosting a game as html/js application, be aware that due to their nature, any 3rd-party Plugin will be made public to others. In this case, you should obfuscate and domain-lock their source code with this tool: https://obfuscator.io/

Before following this tutorial, you may think about uploading it on itch-io, then you don't need to purchase a personal domain + webspace.

What you need
- FileZilla
- a Hoster that provides you a domain and a little bit of webspace

There are a lot of Hosters out there where you can purchase a domain, including some webspace. I personally use 1&1 Ionos, but more because of psychological reasons as their headquarter is in my hometown, and I had some connections during university. And they have nice customer support.

Let's go

Step 1: Export
In RPG Maker, click on Export and choose "Webbrowser". Don't deploy inside your project directory, as this sometimes causes some confusion. Just select an empty directory.

Step 2: Connect FileZilla with your webspace
Your Hoster will give you the details you need to connect. I recommend creating a directory "Games" on it. Drag&Drop your Game directory into it to upload it on your webspace.






Step 3: Connect the Domain
If not already done, go into your hoster's domain settings and link the domain with your webspace. Optionally you can set up a subdomain as I did.

The link that you want to distribute to the players is

                Code:        
yourdomain.com/path/to/your/game/directory


In my case:

                Code:        
play.aerosys.blog/rng-demo


Do not include the HTML file in the link, the link points to its directory instead.
