Sharing your entire project, including source code and content, is useful when you want other users to review your code or content, or make modifications. However, in some cases you may not want others to see your source code or assets. If you want feedback on gameplay or existing game art, and don't explicitly need your code to be reviewed, consider the method described in Sharing Your Game Package.
