Guide:Distribution
From Game Making Tools Wiki
Sites, tools, article, and any other resources to help you distribute your game.
Websites
- Itch.io in kinda like Bandcamp for videogames. It's really easy to put stuff up and get stats on downloads, but you have more control over how your pages look. You have good control over how much and if you want people to pay for things too.
- Game Jolt is another popular distribution site, where you can upload games to be played online or downloaded.
- Glorious Trainwrecks is a small, friendly, encouraging community of people dedicated to ignoring principles of good design. They hold regular events: mostly super-short game jam events. It's the best.
- GOG ???
- Humble ???
- Steam charges you $100 to become a 'Steam Developer' — a one-tiem fee to enable you to put games on Steam Greenlight.
