GameDever | Describe a browser game, preview it, ship HTML

Q: Where does the file go after I pay?

GameDever does not host your game after download. You put index.html on itch.io (HTML project) or on a domain you already have via Cloudflare Pages or Netlify.

Step 1 · Essence

What is this game, really?

Write like you would tell a friend in one minute. Example chips fill a starter brief — edit them so they sound like yours.

Game name In one or two sentences, what do you actually play?

Not a slogan. The loop a player feels in the first ten seconds.

Who is it for? Look and feel What repeats? Win / lose Controls Genre Must appear

Copies the prompt to your clipboard and starts a free on-page preview. You can still paste HTML from Grok or ChatGPT below.

Step 2 · Preview

Free preview loads here. Or paste your own HTML.

Generate fills this box. You can also paste a full file from to the last tag.

Step 3 · Unlock the file

Download the HTML — $9.99

Studio PayPal JS (not a hosted GameDever SKU). After payment you get the file plus how to put it on itch.io or a domain you already have.

Developer Mode (bypass payment)

Step 4 · On the internet

Put this game where people can play it

Download index.html with the button below.
itch.io (fastest for games) — New project → HTML → upload a zip that contains only index.html (or a folder with that file). Kind of project: HTML. Embed in page. This is what most first browser games should do.
Already have a domain — Cloudflare Pages or Netlify Drop the same file, then CNAME www to the host they print. Same notes as a shop site; see go live.
Need a name — buy a .com / .game if it is clean, or skip and stay on you.itch.io/game until someone asks for a custom URL.
HTTPS comes with itch, Cloudflare, and Netlify. If the iframe is blank, you used a file:// open — host it.

GameDever does not host your game after download. GameHub on this domain is the studio arcade, not your file.

Step 5 · Custom feature (one shot)

Pay for one bot pass on this file

What should change
