Quest Viva WasmPlayer - host Quest games on any website

[alexwarren]

You can now host Quest games on any website using Quest Viva's new WasmPlayer, which is now in Beta.

Unlike WebPlayer, with WasmPlayer games run entirely in the browser - there's no server component to run, just static files. This means you can have a playable Quest game running on any web host.

Try it out: All Quest games on textadventures.co.uk have a "Try the new player (beta)" button, to launch the game using WasmPlayer. Eventually this will take over from WebPlayer to serve all games on the site.

Open a local file: Go to play.questviva.com/player and load any Quest game locally. Your file is not uploaded anywhere - the app runs entirely on your device.

Point it to a URL: Enter a URL on the start screen, or append a URL to https://play.questviva.com/player/?url= to play any publicly accessible Quest game. For example, https://play.questviva.com/player/?url=https://ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/competition2014/Jacqueline,%20Jungle%20Queen!/Jacqueline,%20Jungle%20Queen%21.quest plays the IFComp 2014 3rd-place entry "Jacqueline, Jungle Queen!" by Steph Cherrywell via the IF Archive (if IF Archive is available in your location).

Host it yourself: Upload WasmPlayer files to any host like Netlify or itch.io. Upload along with your game file, and set the config to point to it. See the documentation for instructions.
