How to transfer Quest game to Kongregate

16 Jun 2015, 13:26Hey, I've made a text adventure here a while ago "Memory Exchange Program" and I tried converting the file to an HTML5 through the site feature, but when I upload it to Kongregate, all the pictures don't show up at all, I only get the text portion, I uploaded all of the files, including the pictures, but I don't have any pictures showing in the game on kongregate, is this something I need to get help from Kongregate instead?

Does the game work when you run the generated HTML locally?

17 Jun 2015, 14:33Oh, sorry about that. No, the game runs exactly the same if I try to run it locally, so perhaps I'm not understanding how to convert it properly to html5 to upload it over to kongregate.

17 Jun 2015, 15:41In that case it's most likely a bug in the converter. Can you email me your game so I can diagnose the problem?

I see you're using the picture frame for your images - unfortunately, that doesn't work in the current version of the converter. The reason for that is the converter was originally designed to create mobile apps, and having a static picture on-screen doesn't really work well for mobile.
If you change it so that room pictures are displayed in-line with the text when the player enters the room, that should work.
