Games available for HTML5 & Downloadable files without "Kind of project" option #549

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

My game Cube Rampage, this: https://kronbits.itch.io/cube-rampage have a HTML5 version to play online, also have Demo and purchase files for Win/Mac/Linux.

But in the game page options i only can choose: Kind of project = HTML5 or Downloadable. But not both!

So, when appears to search or features, shows only "WEB" and not also the win/mac/linux icons as downloadable.

After making your game as HTML5 you can continue to upload more files and it will put them up for download. Does that solve the problem, or were you more concerned how it says web?

The issue was with the listing afaict!

I have the opposite problem: on my creator page, there's no indication at all that some of the games can be played online. (Those that have downloads for specific platforms display the corresponding icons.) And plenty of visitors land there first, so I'm probably losing potential players.

This is especially noticeable as in the global game list, HTML5 games with added downloads are correctly indicated, allowing for an informed decision.

If I'm understanding this right, @matriax 's problem is that his game needs to show as both a web game and a game for all platforms, but there is no way to have it listed as both? It's been a while since I poked around myself so I'm not sure how it works anymore..
