Uploaded game = grey square? 2015-11-08 18:56:08


Ok guys. I'm trying to upload a game using HTML5. I have it compressed into a ZIP folder with everything I need. I have the Favicon, the other folder with all the images, the HTML5 itself and it just wont work.

I tried uploading it, and all I get is a grey box. I run it in GameMaker, and it works perfectly.

What have I done wrong?

Try clearing your cache (ctrl+f5) and make sure you have the latest version of your browser.

That said, its a pretty bad game.

It is a bad game. Literally just a test to upload, took me about 25 minutes to code and create the images etc.

I can play other games, but I just can't view or play my own for some reason.

I have the latest version, and also have cleared my cache.

I'm confused as to why I can play other peoples, but not my own..

In the future, you should keep this kind of thing in the project system. The portal is for finished work.

What browser are you using? What version? What operating system?

Chrome - Latest Version
Windows 7

Also tried Opera (Also latest version) and Firefox (Outdated)

None of those work either.

This is all I get when I try to play the game:

I'm waiting quite a while. And the game is literally just two rooms, with 1 character and some walls.
It shouldn't be of a large size.

^ That and it doesn't even show me a loading bar.

This sentence should be put on the publishing page.
