Question about OS submission requirements

A topic by Vitin created Sep 14, 2025 Views: 472 Replies: 8

Hi! Regarding the submission requirements: the rules say we need to export to Windows, macOS, and Linux, or that HTML5 can be submitted instead. I’d like to confirm: if I export only Windows and Linux, without macOS, is that acceptable, or is HTML5 the only valid alternative to the three desktop versions?

Congrats on submitting! I’m not sure what exactly is in the zip on your game page, but as per the jam rules you’ll need either three separate exports for Win/Mac/Linux, OR a web build.

The Godot docs on exporting are here. But if you’re having trouble with any of it, just ask and I’m sure someone can help :)

i used a html upload will that suffice

Had a look at your download and tbh I’ve not seen one like that before and couldn’t figure out how to play it (I’m no expert either, obviously!). I think it would be worth trying to make it playable in browser anyway as a lot more people will play it rather than download files from a stranger. If you’re not sure how to do that here’s the rough steps.

Go to Project > Export in the Godot editor, install the web profile if it’s not already there, and when it comes to naming your export file call it index.html like this:

I usually have it export to a separate builds folder just to keep things tidy, as you can see. Once that’s done you can zip up everything it exported and upload to Itch.

On the Itch game page, choose HTML from the “kind of project” dropdown and tick the playable in browser box on your upload:

Now when you view the game page it should embed and be playable right there and you can check everything works as expected.

i can not for the life of me upload this game thx for the help but i just cant upload it

there are some buttons and options under “Uploads” in the “Edit game” page.

if you’re doing a web export, check the itch docs here: /docs/creators/html5 (see the sections on “ZIP File” and “Embed Options”)
