Hi! I'm new here but really interested in game development and design? My current only (sort of) game building softwares are HTML5 and Squiffy. Would those be suitable to upload here? And if they're not the best, do you guys have any reccomendations from when you started in comparison to what you use now?

Unity does pretty great HTML5/WebGL builds and they run great embedded in Itch. Other HTML5 games should work fine embedded as well here.

actually unity has been having problems with older browsers but these browsers arent old they are forks of firefox/chrome and unity will not fix the problem: https://blog.pureweb.com/4-limitations-of-webgl-for-publishing-real-time-3d

As far as I’m aware, any software that can result in a game that is playable is accepted here. I’m not familiar with Squiffy, but if it exports game that are playable with just HTML, then I don’t see why they can’t be here.

In Game Dev, a lot of times it doesn’t matter what tool you use. A lot of techniques are usually specific to programming in general, regardless of the language/tool used. The best way to learn more, is to keep making games with the tool you have the most experience in. If you ever feel like trying a different tool, go for it, but be prepared to spend some time learning it.

At some point it will not matter what tools you use, and you can easily adapt to any tool in front of you.

Many people started to develop games with GameMaker Studio , Construct, Unity, Godot, etc.,  nowadays.
