I have a web based game on itch io and I want to upload here too...
I filled the page 3 times and it gave me the 500 error page all the times, redirecting me to here...
I filled up the description, tags, set the download to mirror and pointed to itch page, and also uploaded the compiled zip file here.
Added screenshots and filled every required field.

I need help making the game available..
Thanks in advance

Weird that now, looking at my profile, it's listing 2 of my attempts as 'games I worked on'...
I'll see if I can work with it and edit them

I managed to edit one of them with screenshots and stuff, but seems like it's the compiled zip that is giving the error message...
I tried to upload it here on the edit page and gave me the error again...
Now I also need help to delete one of the game duplicates I have...

I've removed the duplicates.  Can you please provide a link to a download of the exact compiled zip you're trying to upload?

Thank you so much!  :)
I'm trying to make the final submission file available on the itch page, so I can reference here, but when I try to upload it as an extra file, it only 'patches up' and replaces the original one, because there is no significant change, so nothing shows up as a download link...

I'm not sure if a google drive link is allowed but here it is anyway:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sh3a9QZFhHLc-z4zdQ_enI5Dd8na9NjY?usp=sharing

(Please, delete if it's not allowed and I'll try another way to send the final wab build)

Again, thank you so much for the help!

I can see what the issue is already, you've zipped up the "Web" folder itself, rather than zipping the contents of the folder.  The site throws an error when it tries to process the zip.

It does say

QuoteHere you can upload a .zip file of the contents of your "Compiled\Web" folder after selecting "Web" in the "Build target platforms" menu of the AGS Editor, then clicking "Build EXE".

if you hover over the help icon on the page, but it seems that isn't clear enough.  I'll see if I can improve the upload process to make issues like this more avoidable!

Awesome! thanks again!
I think the case is closed then! I'm knew to the AGS forums, so I don't know how it works... if (and how) I should edit the topic title or you guys just let the post be... haha  :P
