What platform is your game on?
Why?
Hi there!
I build my project with either Windows or mobile in mind. However, and for example, this one was made for PC but I added a mobile version of it to expand the user base. This one is primarily a mobile game, but I built it for PC as well.
Browser is a must-have on itch.io. I personally wouldn't download anything from here but if a game has a browser build then I would go for it. Take the second example in which I built for Windows, Android, and HTML5 (web). In the browser version I also have an option to choose between mobile and PC. Another plus of browser is that iOS and Mac devices can also play on it.
Speaking of iOS and Mac, Apple charges a $25 USD (this is an estimate, don't quote me (I also think it's per-year but not sure)) fee for being an "Apple Developer." If you're planning to release a high-budget game, go for it, but when I'm making games for game jams I don't feel the need to pay that.
About console I have no idea. I have a general sense that someone who buys a switch is more likely to play AAA games rather than hobby/indie games.
Keep in mind that this is my personal preference. I use a Windows PC (which actually means I wouldn't be able to build the game even if I wanted to) and Unity (which has basically every option of platform - really easy to build for browser or Android).
Hope this helps
I made my web games to work on mobile too, because I own mobile devices and use them. Of course my own games should work there! My others are made for PC (Linux and where possible also Windows) because that's what I use. Why would I bother with consoles I never owned, couldn't afford and wouldn't be able to develop for without express permission from the manufacturer.
most of my games are for pc because i usually make games on a pc. Sometimes i end up making a one button game, then i go for mobile too. And i also make webgl builds for my games because they usually get more downloads (but as they take forever to build, i would rather just make the downloadble build that usually takes 5 minutes to build)
