I have a question about the license for the free version. I am a teacher teaching game design to 8th graders. My school has an aggressive web filter that blocks most things game related.  So I can't just link the students to this resource page because itch.io is blocked.

If I were to download some of your assets, post them on a webpage on my classroom site, give credit to you, share the license information, and link back to this webpage (even though it will get blocked at my school); would this be violating the "You can not redistribute or resale, even if modified" portion of your license?

Normally it would, but I'll grant an exception for this since it's for education. :)

It would be cool if you could add the following to your license: "Educators working for a publicly funded school may redistribute these assets to their students for non-commercial, educational purposes."

Probably not required since using your assets is likely allowed under Fair Dealings / Fair Use, but most students in public schools will not be able to access your assets through itch.io due to domain blocking for "games", and many teachers will just choose to use CC0 assets instead.
