Publishing your Twine Game

Now it’s time to publish your game to a web server so that others can play it.

Webhosting options

There are many options for webhosting services – here are a few that are free to you:

Export your game from Twine

  • From the Twine top menu, go to Build -> Publish to File to export your game as html
  • Open it in a browser app to play it locally
  • Note on Filenames:
    • By default, the filename of your game will include the title
    • Edit the filename so it has no spaces in it - this will be part of your URL
    • Pro tip: change the filename to index.html

Deployment using Reclaim Hosting

  • Navigate to digital.brynmawr.edu or sites.haverford.edu and click on “Get Started” to log in
    • If you haven’t already, choose a domain name that is relatively short and unique to you
  • Upload your game:
    • From your Dashboard, locate the “File Manager”
    • Navigate to the folder called “public_html”
    • Create a new sub-folder called “game”
    • Upload your game to the “game” folder
  • Navigate to your game’s URL
    • Your game should now be public at yourdomain.digital.brynmawr.edu/game/filename.html
    • If you changed the filename to index, your url will be yourdomain.digital.brynmawr.edu/game
