What format should the end result be? EXE, html, anything else?

Hi, I'm a beginner coder and decided to take part in this jam as my very first. I have a plan in mind, but reading the rules and guide, I couldn't find instructions about the final game format, should it be an exe, an html game, or apk.

I'm also confused about the type of game (2D / 3D) and whether it was defined anywhere or not (couldn't find specific rules, sorry). The plan I have in mind is 3D.

Thanks for replying.

The more the better. I guess.

Whatever you feel like supporting, but at a MINIMUM I would include an executable for windows. Personally I usually release .exe and AppImage (linux). I could care less about Mac.

That helps a lot, thanks!

For Game Jams I'd recomend something runnable in browser. Unity, HTML5, javascript etc. Alot of users (and reviewers) aren't comfortable downloading games due to malware concerns so a browser game is more approachable. (FYI please use a virtual machine when installing games made by other people as it can help neuter/contain alot of types of malware)

Thanks for the warning, I'll keep that in mind for future reference!
