hi!! there aren't a ton of details about the final advent(ure) calendar in the jam description, just that a bundle is going up. is that bundle going to be sold or shared for free? if sold, where are the profits going? is this going to be published in any way except through the bundle? i'd like a better idea of what permissions i'm giving before deciding to submit to the jam! thank you!! :>

Hi there! The bundle will be a print and play format for the calendar. It will be free, and all creators will be properly credited. Great questions. Sorry I didn't include them initially. I'll update the jam page with that now.

thanks so much for elaborating; much appreciated!! 馃挅

I was about to share this on our Discord server but needed to clarify: you say creators will be credited, but does that mean creators don't split any earned income from the bundle? There's nothing wrong with that, since it's your jam and bundle, but I wanted to make sure before sharing :D 

PS: I know it's a PWYW (free) bundle but people often pitch in $1 or more to claim the items.

itch does let you set an item to Completely Free, i.e. you literally can't pay any money, which is what i'm assuming the calendar will be set as (they said it'd be "print and play format" so i'm imagining it as a single item with all the content aggregated and not an itch.io bundle), but it's good to clarify!!

OH okay I see, I assumed it would be a co-op bundle, not a unique release. I don't think you can set those to not accept payment, but I've never tried. 

In fact, we like explaining to people that if they do pay for it at all (including $1), that claims each title to your account. So like if I go to one of the item's Itch pages, it'll show me at the top that I own it, which is good cuz I often forget what I own lol.

We've done a few PWYW (pay what you want) bundles like this and they usually make more money than our paid bundles do 馃ぃ
