downloadable & html 5 game?

Hi. I don’t know if it’s possible to do both? I couldn’t find any documentation on it. So I assume I’d need to make a second page for the Web version?

And would the second page violate itch’s TOS or anything? Basically same game, but web version.

Yes, you can, simply upload more files. One will be played in the browser, the others will be downloadable. Having two different project pages in this case is probably not recommended, but it wouldn't exactly be against the ToS.

Something very important that they forgot to mention, you need the file you download to have a different name than the one you use to play on the web, if it has the same name, you will overwrite the file.

Having the web version and a downloadable version on the same page is the most common thing to find on Itch.

Okay thanks very much! I was just worried too because the only option is downloadable or html5, not both. So I’ll just choose html5 then, and it’ll work.

I guess when I first make a push using butler it will be downloadable. Then I have to change it manually for the build.

I might make a temporary, not released page to test first I guess. Then just delete it.
