If you're using Quest, there are three obvious methods:
-
Put your published game file on your site.
Pros: Easy
Cons: Visitors will need to install Quest in order to play it. -
Host the game here, and include it in an iframe on your own site.
Pros: Relatively easy. If you link to the game directly, visitors don't need to know they're getting content from another site.
Cons: If the server has stability issues it will make your game unresponsive. If you link directly, it won't be possible to resume a saved game. -
Install Quest on your own server.
Pros: Players don't have to leave your site. When a new version of Quest is released, you can test that it works properly with your game before upgrading the server.
Cons: Probably needs a dedicated Windows server, which is likely expensive. The server side code isn't extensively documented, and I've heard that it's difficult to install and maintain.
