Hello all,

I created a game via Unity and I initially exported it as a WebGL game, but the lighting doesn't look anywhere near as good as my original game. I exported it as a standalone game, which runs via an exe. Is there any way to upload that so it would work in the browser? I know it's supposed to have an index.html file in it, but this export doesn't have that. I even tried simply uploading it and changing the option to downloadable, rather than play in browser, but visiting my page after save says that the game is unavailable. Does anyone have advice, or even another way of exporting it? I am super new to this, thanks for bearing with me.

I'm might try putting the compressed file up as download and see if that would work

Sorry for necro-ing this (it's still near the top of the tips forum and I ran into the exact same issue and it almost drove me mad):

The reason your lighting (or anyone else running into this) looks so different is because of the exported quality settings for WebGL builds. You can fix it by using deferred lighting, which makes lights much more efficient (but can't be used with an orthographic camera or for certain lighting effects), or by bumping up the number of pixel lights allowed in the player quality settings:

Pixel lights are pretty expensive on performance, but so long as you aren't pushing the boundaries anywhere else you should be okay (I would try deferred lighting first though). I bumped up the pixel light count for my game Archipelago (up to 12, I think) and it looks pretty close to how it did in the editor: https://gedig.itch.io/archipelago
