Twine Publishing
Once your game is finished, access your Twine game and “Publish to File:”
The exported HTML file from Twine can be uploaded just about anywhere (see available publishing platforms below).
Note: If you used any media files, you will have to put them in a folder with your .html file and compress the whole folder to a .zip file before you upload it anywhere. You can download this game to see an example of this in practice. If you have questions, please ask us.
Publishing Platforms:
- Your own web server – More complicated, more control (we use OU Create via Reclaim Hosting)
- Game Jolt or itch.io – indie game repositories, free, html or zip packages

Use eXperience Play
If you had fun participating in XP, I expect your students would too. You are more than welcome to use XP in your courses (or for any other endeavors). You can use this website as is, or see alternative formats from the other XP programs. We’d be happy to help get you started.

Discussion – Digital Literacy
The course has focused on two related issues – game design and digital literacy.
- How can we use play to engage students?
- How do we enable students to design games?
- What about game development helps students develops digital literacy skills?
- How do we enable students to become part of the affinity group for your field?
- What have you gained from your experience making a text-based game?
- How can you translate your engagement with XP into your classroom?
