So I'm creating a Unity 2D game, and I want to know what kind of license I should have in order to post to Kongregate, Google Play, Steam, etc. I'm seeing licenses on github, (Apache License 2.0, GNU General Public License v3.0, MIT License, etc) but I'm not sure what to put the game under in order to distribute the game over multiple marketplaces and still keep the game in my own hands (ie no one steals the code and redistributes the game elsewhere). Any information on this would be very helpful. Thank you.

There is a game you host called the trail. No one respond to the support questions. Could congregate take ownership of a possibly a banner game with hope to finish developing it and make it so people can actually finish the objectives the game starts out with? This game is fantastic and people love it, so why cant you help players become more satisfied?

I have a game developed which works with cookies, so it can maintain sessions on our own backend. It works perfectly on Mobile, and also if I run it on WebGL outside of Kongregate. When on Kong, in preview mode, it fails to retain a session. My best guess is that it's due to CORS. Following this guide (https://medium.com/@alexishevia/using-cors-in-express-cac7e29b005b), I enabled the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true' from my server (and can see it in Postman), but it requires a change on your side, which of course I cant do... Any suggestions or help you can give me?

I load kongregate_api script in the head of the html document like this <script src='https://cdn1.kongregate.com/javascripts/kongregate_api.js'></script> Then loading my main.js script that contains these lines console.log(window.kongregateAPI); window.kongregateAPI.loadAPI(function(){}); The error message; SyntaxError: An invalid or illegal string was specified --- kongregate_api.js:36 console.log returns and object so i think it loads the script successfully.

Hi, I'm trying to work the microtransactions API into my game Quepland. It's written in C# using Blazor, but I have been using Javascript interop to call the Kongregate API for submitting high scores. When trying to do the same thing with mtx.purchaseItems, however, nothing happens. I don't get an error, and the callback function does not get called. Console.log calls work before calling mtx.purchaseItems, but none are called after. The closest issue I can find is that Unity WebGL games sometimes failed to run callbacks using code from the documentation. Given that I don't get an error, I'm not sure where to look to fix this issue. The code I'm using is literally copied and pasted from the Javascript docs, replacing "sword" with an identifier string. I've pasted a copy below. The second log call is never called, but no error is produced in the log. purchasePet: function (petIdentifier) { console.log("Purchase requested for " + petIdentifier); window.parent.kongregate.mtx.purchaseItems([petIdentifier], onPurchaseResult); console.log("Post Purchase Requested"); },

I am trying to follow the guide for Unity API and Application.ExternalEval is obsolete and I cannot use it. How should I load the Kongregate API now that this has changed? I am sorry if this is easy, I am pretty new to coding.

Hi, I'm just wondering about a slight discrepancy between two pages on the site. The Terms & Conditions of the Monthly Contests - https://www.kongregate.com/monthly_contest_rules - says: `(2) Submission must be integrated with the Kongregate Statistics API as of the end of the Contest Period.` However the Kongregate Submission Checklist - https://docs.kongregate.com/docs/submission-checklist-1 - says : `Statistics Initialized stat is being submitted. ... Note: As this may modify the game's rating, any games using this service will be excluded from monthly contests.` How does submitting Stats modify the game rating? I'd like to enter the contest on a recent submission to the site, but given this conflicting information I'm not sure how to proceed. Cheers!

I'm new to submitting and developing a game in general, I've also read and scrolled through posts for the first steps, but so far I didn't find especially much details about this type of games there. Planning to use HTML-commands like for websites, also not being sure if it could work for creating a game (maybe if it's more text-based than with graphics it could possibly work?), which game's type should be chosen in that case: "Flash/HTML5/WebGL" or "Unity Web Player" or "Iframe"? If Java/Script-commands can be used within the head / body-section, but if it's including Java or JavaScript or Script-commands in general, I think that the required plug-in for Iframe-typed games would be "Java" only and possibly also "Other"? I've also read about the title will be a permanent one, it can't be changed, still the pics, descriptions and updates within the game could be implemented in general. Is there a section for HTML-typed games (and I was just not finding the fitting category yet) or do many players use different programs for publishing or only HTML-typed games won't be published (so there were only less infos about it yet)?

I'm trying to integrate the Kongregate API into my game but I get the error "SyntaxError in kongregate_api.js (22, 456)" when I try to initialize the API. How could I solve this? Is the JavaScript API maintained or will it change with Kartridge? As a suggestion, it would be nice to be able to freely use the API for login from the server API and not from the JavaScript client API. I know what to do for corporate image, but if that is why I think you could provide us with a unitypackage to do these operations.

https://www.kongregate.com/games/ragingrileygames/dodge-the-dead I submitted this game, it worked fine during testing, I also have it hosted on my own site. No errors in the console. When it runs in production on kongregate, this error keeps spamming the console and the game automatically reloads the page: Blocked a frame with origin "https://tpc.googlesyndication.com" from accessing a frame with origin "https://www.kongregate.com". Protocols, domains, and ports must match. There's no back end in my game, I took out all advertising stuff. This occurs on safari, not sure of other browsers. I'm assuming it's a kongregate bug since it works on my site and on kongregate in testing. Any ideas?

Hello, I've been using the game engine construct 2 for the last few months on Chrome. Recently I've updated my game with no issues, I did an update again no issues. Then Last night, I tried to update the game once again but this time, the update did not go through. Now if I click the play button, the game stays on what I take to be the index page. To ensure it wasn't a coding error, I uploaded on Firefox and the game worked fine, but I did not hit publish in fear of ruining the game for Chrome base players. The game has gotten nearly 6000 plays in the last 3 days, so wiping data is a huge concern. I also tried uploading the game to preview mode on my non dev account and again the game worked fine. So it leaves me to assume it's a cache error? I waited hours between uploads to update, far more time than the 15 minute suggestion. Any solution to this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Kong support, I developed for Newgrounds quite a long time now, and I just made the jump to Kongregate because I hear many a good things about this site. I had some troubles with the Kongregate shell (my games were windowed + scrollbars) but I fixed all those things. However, my newest game Foreign Frugglers is not visible at the 'Hot New Games' tab, how can I get in there? I heard games should be judged and approved first? Ahwell here is the game link: https://www.kongregate.com/games/UltimoGames/foreign-frugglers Best Regards, Timo Visser (Ultimo Games)
