So the title is fairly self explanatory, but I want to know where I can upload games I make with RPG Maker and where can I post them where other people can see them and get to play them.
I know the RPG Maker Forums is already a good place to do so, but please mention other sites as well that aren't directly affiliated with RPG Maker.
I've also done some searching of my own (Looking at GameJolt at the moment), but I want to see what sites you guys are using.
Thanks for the help.
Where to upload your games and where to post it

It really depends on how many people will be downloading your game. Google Drive, Dropbox, Skydrive are just a few of the many cloud-based file sharing services. But they all have limits on storage space AND on the amount of download bandwidth they allow per month.
If you're just sharing it with a few people, for now, you can share your link to the runnable game. Be sure to encrypt the game --- I think it's a licensing requirement if you are using any of Enterbrain's resources such as the Resource Packs.
You may want to include the RTP in your runnable game, even though it adds a chunk to the final game size, unless the people you're sharing it with all have the VX Ace RTP installed. -
I wouldn't go for dropbox for sharing your game. I've heard enough comments from people whose dropbox was closed/disabled because of the amount of downloads to make me think it's a good idea for development, and maybe for testing, but not for distribution.
Is Mediafire still around?
Yes, if you're distributing on non RM forums, definitely include the RTP in the build, even though it'll result in a larger file size. Requiring extra downloads/installs for people who aren't familiar with RPG Maker will be a turnoff for some - make it as easy as possible for them :) -
I believe that according to the rules this post counts as self advertisement (Especially if you only have 11 other posts under your belt), but it is a bit in line with the question at hand. Just send a pm to the op next time if you're worried about the post itself being against the rules of the forum.hi,
i'm working on a website-database to show and upload the games made with rpg maker ( and other tools) : this is
Just to replace (for the indie-authors) sites like mediafire, that after a short time delete the files. and advertising are only obout other free indie games
Now the limit to upload on our server is 20 Mb >.<
We're growing up very fast and with other supporters we 're going to improve it.
( if this post is spam, delete it. No problem)
Can you post a game on that site from another source? (Like dropbox for example) Or must the game be hosted on that site?
