I am building a portion of my website to now accept Unity games! First off, is there any current distribution system that has a compilation of games to add to websites, or are any of you developers interested? There might be things like ad revenue in it for you once I build that portion of the site.
Though, with that question out of the way, what is better that I should provide to my members: web player or a choice for the standalone version of the game? Also, for the web player, is there any documentation or source code out there that I can use to incorporate the games into my site?
Another question, is these games probably would need to be hosted on my site correct? If so, is it just a single file or are Unity games consist of multiple files?
unity web games are one single file, and you gotta add some html code in your page to display it, I’m not 100% on how it works, unity also makes a html page that runs your webplayer game… if you know about web stuff I bet you can learn what you need from the html file, here’s one of my projects, check it out!
That’s not always true, especially when you’re trying to keep the load times down. You usually have things like music, optionally textures and other data streamed in through the WWW class. Asset bundles as well.
Thanks for the replies, @Quietus that might probably be true, but irrelavant as to how many files and what kind of files I need to actually host on my servers.
I have found though that Unity is looking better and better - hence the interest in adding games to my website. Also question, besides ad revenue what features or incentives would you developers like to see to interest you to post games to my website? I am all for your games having in-game ads if that’s what you would like as well, though I am not fully sure if there are providers like that for Unity.
