Playing Quest in Browser, when built game in Desktop Version

Hi,

I have a partially built game that a few friends of mine wants to test. Some of them have been able to do so, as they can just download the desktop version as they have windows. But a few have Linux and can't use the desktop version to play the game.

It says on the site that you CAN play it in a browser... but I don't know how you do so. How do you do so?

Any help would be appreciated.

you can play games online (on quest's servers), so, you'd need to publish/upload your game file, and then provide the link for your friends to play it.

Question: How long does it take for moderators to take a look at it?

I uploaded it at about 3pm my timezone and its about 10pm my timezone and every time I go to "launch the game" it says "Loading" at the top and stays like that for well over a minute (its only about 100kb in size so I doubt its bandwidth related)

The server appears to be down at the moment.

That would explain much XD

Looks like the server is up now. So I'll give out the links to my friends. Its also listed as WIP public, if anyone wants to try it out.
