Hi everyone, well, I recently made my first sale on itch.io! But I ran into some problems and only found out about them today.

The person who bought my product didn't receive it directly and tried to purchase it more than 3 times. Both attempts resulted in an error. Until recently, I received an email from the website about this, and then I discovered that I had to manually accept the payment in the PayPal app to release it to the recipient.

All of this is because of the payment method I had set up, "direct you" as the default on my account.

Well, I issued refunds for both attempted purchases and accepted one. I don't know if the person still wants my product because of this issue...

And I wanted to know which of the two methods is good for receiving/processing payments going forward.

I just wanted to share my latest project - Drop Loot. It's a pixel-art falling-block dungeon crawler where you match the loot as it falls to fight monsters.

My day job is a graphic designer, and I've also created custom clock faces for smart watches for many years, but this is my first real game - would love to hear what you think!

You can try the demo here, currently working on the full release: https://johnreno.itch.io/droploot

Recently, a lot of us, developers have seen a splash in the views stat, in my case ~x4! However, it didn't seem to affect downloads at all. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on?

​

Here's everything new

- 3 and 4 players

- team mode ( with share hands option)

- new tutorial

- new skin redesign

- core-x legendary skin wilding

- profile frames

- new home screen UI

Yell me when you think about the update https://nkakoleng.itch.io/digital-clash

And if there's any bugs please let me know

Hey all — I set up my shop (AuraSoft) a few months back, uploaded several game asset packs and a card game, and I’m getting basically no organic traffic at all. Not just low sales — literally no views.

I searched site:auragamestudio.itch.io on Google and only one of my pages shows up, none of my asset listings. My page is public, nothing’s in draft, and I haven’t touched any visibility settings.

I emailed itch.io support about it (ticket #381459) but haven’t heard back in a couple weeks.

Has anyone else run into this? Curious if:

**•** new stores get throttled/delayed before showing up in search  
**•** there’s something specific I should check in my page settings  
**•** Google Search Console verification actually helps for itch.io subdomains

Any pointers appreciated — happy to share more details if useful.

I just launched a demo for my upcoming game Gobs & Gears. It's a goblin factory game about making a giant bomb for an impatient Gob King. I'd appreciate any feedback or wishlists on Steam!

I started learning gamedev last winter. I started with a flappy clone tutorial and once I got the hang of it started doing my own projects. Instead of using any assets or anything from the tutorials I found some that fit the theme that I was going for it and kind of made it my own, adding some mechanics, added UI and menus, sound effects etc. My friends and I enjoy playing it when we’re just burning time and I was thinking of putting a web version on itch. I guess my question is would it be in poor taste to put it on itch as kind of a portfolio piece? I know there are a million flappy clones out there. I’m not trying to make any money off of it, just put out something fun to play and for other people to see if I want to do a gamejam in the future.

Hello reddit ! Our post in itchio only got 30 viewers so maybe we will have more luck in here 😂

My gf and I have been developping our game Cat Hero: Adventure on our own for about 9 months now, and we think it's time for us to find more players and gather more feedback as the game is slowly getting its own visual idendity.
It can be somewhat demotivating to not have enough feedback or players while developing a game for so long and it would be a great morale boost for us to find some regular playtesters, to know what players like or don't, and to know if we are moving in the right direction.

Our main target is to have the first minutes of playtime right for a new player, with a pacing and progression that feels smooth. You need to be able to learn the core gameplay mechanics without feeling overwhelmed, bored, or stuck, and enjoy 30 to 60 minutes of gameplay before encountering any significant progression walls or difficulty spikes.

If you'd like to be part of the development you can find a Google Form Survey when running the game, and it only takes 2–5 minutes to complete after your play session.

And if you want to go further and report bugs, discuss the game design or simply share more of your thoughts, you can also join our Discord server and become one of our first DayOneSupporter !
