Upload Unity Game to Kongregate

Monetization & Growth

I finally found a workaround to uploading a Unity game to Kong. Its not pretty but it works. Ill summarize it as best as i can. It is meant for people with limited resources, and the game can be used at any of the sites it is passed through.

  1. Build your game as a web player file, pick all the settings you want.

  2. Go to https://sites.google.com/ and create a page. After you have done this click add page and make a “file cabinet”. Upload your web player file to the cabinet and copy the download URL.

  3. Go to http://pastehtml.com/ and enter in :

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<object id="UnityObject" classid="clsid:444785F1-DE89-4295-863A-D46C3A781394"
    width="600" height="450"
    codebase="http://webplayer.unity3d.com/download_webplayer/UnityWebPlayer.cab#version=2,0,0,0">
    <param name="src" value="MyDataFile.unity3d" />
    <embed id="UnityEmbed" src="MyDataFile.unity3d" width="600" height="450"
        type="application/vnd.unity" pluginspage="http://www.unity3d.com/unity-web-player-2.x" />
</object>

substite MyDataFile.unity3d with the download link for the Google file cabinet, and fix the widths and hights.

  1. Click “Publish Page” then once the example loads check to see if the game works, then click “Publish Page” again and copy the provided URL.

  2. Go to Discover and Play Free Online Games on Kongregate! and enter in the desired information. In “iFrame URL” enter in the URL that you got at http://pastehtml.com/. Correct the widths and heights.

  3. Now is the moment of truth. Click submit, and your game in all of its glory should appear in the Kongregate game area. If it does, consult to Kreds & Virtual Goods for the rest of info considering using Kongregate achievements, micro payments, and the complete list of requirements needed for your upload to be approved.

Understand that steps 2-4 are for people unable to host their game on their domain because they don’t have one or cant use it for this purpose.

So I take it Kongregate is now accepting Unity games? Because they weren’t before… or is this just tricking the system?

This isn’t tricking the system. It is a way that kongregate shows games like runescape that weren’t made with flash. It just opens another webpage in the game area, and if you set it up like i said, it will show a website with your game playing on it. The game actually isn’t on kongregate, its on the pastehtml.com website. you can also host the game on a new page on your server, but make sure the page has no styling and no margins for it to show correctly. This is just a solution for people who don’t have a domain or server space. All you really need is this link Kreds & Virtual Goods

I have tried this and I can’t get “substite MyDataFile.unity3d with the download link for the Google file cabinet” part to work, I sub out the MyDataFile.unity3d with the url that I get when I right click the download link on the file MyDataFile.unity3d I posted on Google file cabinet, but I get an error “Failed to download data” any idea why? :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Oh, my bad… I didn’t see the other MyDataFile.unity3d in the code… lol, it works now, thanks

@SADRavin: If you are trying to upload to Kong, they do support Unity games now (you can upload them directly to Kongregate).
