CloseMy game has been approved, but I can't figure out how to upload my game for others to download and play. Can someone explain to me how to do this, or point me to a thread about this topic?
Hover over your name in the top black bar and pick "Manage Games" (You can also do this from your profile).
Pick the game you want to upload to by clicking on its name. The new page will show a host of various 'tabs' which you can use to add/change things to your game page. One of these is Downloads. Pick that and you'll be taken to a page with a button that says "Add Download".
Click that and fill in the form - Name your download (Demo version x, for example). Browse/Link - either browse your computer for a compressed file to upload OR put in a link to a site where it's already hosted. The "For Testers Only" is for when you add testers to your game page (under the Users 'tab') - this will make it so that only those you have added as a tester can download the game, in case you want to put up a version for testing. Description - describe that version of the game. You could do a changelog or just leave it blank if you want.
CLick submit and prepare to wait until a new page loads. Voila~ Done!
Do note:
- Nothing over 400MB. If you've a full game that's all custom and full of awesome graphics, you can try to make your case to kentona. Key word, try.
- Zip, Rar or compressed game data is the best kind of file to upload
- Make sure all files are included in your download. There's nothing worse than realising there's a file or two missing and having to reupload your game - take it from someone who always has this issue. >.<;
- RTP can be included or not, but it's a nice idea to tag whether it is or not in the name so that people don't have to wonder.
- You could be nice and upload both an RTP inclusive and non-RTP version of your game. People would appreciate not having to download files they already have. ^.^

People have had trouble with RAR files in the past since the default built-in extractor with Windows can't handle them. A few months back I switched my own downloads to zips to avoid that issue. If you want to stick with WinRAR or 7zip and their compression technologies you can create a self extracting archive. It'll add a few hundred KB to the filesize but it'll make it an executable that bypasses the issue entirely.

Okay, thanks. Can one of you try to download my game and tell me if it works? Here's the link for it here: http://rpgmaker.net/games/4089/
You don't have to play it. I just want to see if the download works

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

The download works.
If you want anyone to actually play this, you should really replace your screenshot images pronto. Since the ones you have are two and a half years old, and terrible. One of them is the default RPG Maker XP title screen for God's sake. Please please please replace that with your actual title screen, and replace the battle screenshot with one that doesn't have a white flash making it so you can't see anything in the screenshot. And add a dozen or so more screenshots of bits that aren't terrible.

Yeah... you might want to get on that before I decide to check it out...
A few screenies of the areas you're most proud of will probably work. As long as it looks decent I won't have to retroactively poke you with a stick. ^.^
Also, when I get around to your game and putting it on the tumblr page you'll want to show off your best to draw people in, especially with a new demo!

You guys are awesome, thanks! And yes, I will have to work on the images and stuff. It may take a while, but I'll make updates on my progress often. Thanks again!
