Hey all, I've participated in several game jams and wanted to pass on an insight I've noticed from them. I noticed a lot of people asking for more ratings, and most of them need to be downloaded. 

If you want to get lots of ratings or feedback, make your game HTML5/WebGL so it can be played in the web browser. Most people are hesitant to download unknown software from a jam onto their computer, bc of the threat of malware & viruses. (think crypto miners, key loggers, & even ransomware). 

If you make it playable on web, people are much more open to playing and rating it (I get about 2-5x as much feedback when I upload an HTML5 game than when I upload a local game like from unreal 5) 

Godot's HTML5 Export process is dead simple, and Unity's is pretty straight forward too. there are a lot of tutorials on YouTube for both. (unfortunately I haven't yet found a good solution for unreal yet, but if you find one let me know, depending on my project i've used all 3 engines for jams) 

Yea sadly HTML exports get way more traction as the barrier to entry is just way lower + the point you made about malware is definitely a big turn off as well.

Sadly Godot 4 doesn't have HTML export for C# projects yet, or I would have definitely done that too. Thankfully there are still plenty of people willing to try out the downloadable versions of games :)
