I've been looking into creating a game, but I want to be able to publish it on its own site. Is there a way I can publish a game made in Quest to its own independent website, or do I have to go through the official website?

You can publish your game on any website, but it will not be playable like it is on the Quest website. Unless you are good at coding and create another online version of Quest app, like they did on their website.

Another option would be to publish the game as a ZIP folder and include Quest installer with the game file, and some TXT document telling people how to run the game.

Or have a download section with your game to include link to the Quest website to download the app.

Unfortunately there is no other way, unless - once again - you are good programmer and could find a way how to change the Quest app code to be able compiling an EXE file instead of QUEST file.

Ok, thank you for telling me!

Happy to help! :)

Also check these links, seems like there is a way how to make Quest work on your own web. Not sure if it is what you need, but worth a click.
