How To Track How Many Times Your Twine Game Has Been Played?

Question

Hello!

I am new to Twine and my googling/forum browsing has not found me a straightforward simple answer. I want to link my Twine games on my simple website/portfolio for easy access. However, in order to prove my game has some merit to potential clients, I thought it would be nice to track how many times my game has been "played/read". Like how you can see how many views a published article has.

How do I accomplish this? Please and thank you!

Answer 1

Maybe the trick here would be to host your twine games on your own website, where you have your own (I assume) analytics tracking?

Seems like less of a Twine question and more of a web development question.

Answer 2

I post my games to Newgrounds. Not only does that track views, but it also tracks any awards your game wins- daily, weekly, and monthly best, review crew pick, or if your game is frontpaged. Plus there is already a huge community eager to play and offer feedback!
