Not to necro an old post, but if anyone is interested in me writing an updated tutorial for Unity 2018.1+ I can do that, showing how I got it to work with Kong's API using the new Unity jslib system, rather than the deprecated ExternalCall/Eval methods. It produces a cleaner code, and is very straightfoward and easy to understand. (Again if no one is interested, sorry for necroing a 2 year old post).

Tip: Another catch I had to deal with, using unity 2017, was, that I was getting 404 file not found error after the upload, even though I followed the tutorial steps to the letter. The fix for it was, that I had to rename the kongregate_shell.html to index.html when uploading.
Possibly a new bug/glitch with the automatic kongregate backend renamer.

Well at some point I got this working. The High Score statistic I was trying to submit is still not work using. Application.ExternalCall("parent.kongregate.stats.submit","High Score",Totalscore); But even before that, when I tried uploading the kongregate_shell, I got the "Kongbot couldn't find the game you're looking for" error. So I tried renaming it to index.html as suggested (as I'm using Unity 2017.31f1). This worked once...but every build after that I get this error "An error occurred running the Unity content on this page. See your browser JavaScript console for more info. The error was:
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data". I've been at this for three days now reading multiple guides and watching youtube videos and simply can not get this to work.

To anyone trying to use Application.ExternalCall in the future: Don't. It's being deprecated.
Use the [.jslib functionalty](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-interactingwithbrowserscripting.html) instead.
Here's an example with downloads to get started with the API: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1021798-game-programming-subforum/topics/1673115-guide-kong-api-with-unity-jslib-system

Hey this is great tutorial, but as much as I love Unity and it's my favorite game engine, dont u think javascript browser games are better? much less bloated, and for browser games, performance counts a lot

I wouldn't deal with JS browser games. Maybe I'm wrong btu nevertheless I can't find any cons for this.

Is there a functional, easy and up to date tutorial about how to send values between Unity WebGL games and Kongregate?
All the existing examples seem to be deprecated and I cant get them to work.
Would be nice to send the highscore from my games to Kong.

I'm having trouble locating the correct sections of index.html for section 7.
`<script src="Build/UnityLoader.js"></script>
There doesn't seem to be *any* reference to the UnityLoader.js file. UnityLoader.instatiate isn't in the script either.
`UnityLoader.instantiate("gameContainer", "Build/Builds.json")
I can tell that there are differences between the build in the gif and the 2019.4 build that I have. Trying to find the differences is difficult because it's a gif. If it were a video, I could at least pause it. Did something change in the 2019 version?

I think in the updated version of the Kong Preloader, it's already done for you. I was able to build and publish without changing anything.
