Okay cool, that helps, I was trying to figure out exactly THAT!!

Yes, itchio is a good place to sell indie comics right now, so we got our little niche growing, it’s just an unusual interface compared to the comic sites we dealt with in the past, so I needed a little guidance on the procedures.

Cool, it sounds like I straight up need to put something on the main page that is: I make’a dee comics! Here be comics- here be the sites you can find currently updating comics, etc. Exactly what I needed to borrow those eyeballs for, TYSM.
Yes, I try to put the little synopsis of what the books are about on each individual page- but I will review them, too,  thinking from your perspective and see what edits I can do.

 TY for saying! And happy to hear the tags are effective for filing the comics into the right search categories at least. For the folks rolling in like… NOT from my outside links and looking for indie comics in certain genres- they can at least still find my stuff via the tags.

And thanks for looking the books over even if they aren’t your cuppa tea. It sounds like my old art styles are not bothering anyone- so I’ll just get the back catalogue together and posted.

That helped a lot! 🙏✌️

The search on itch is kinda quirky. Has to do with the fact that the tags are dev chosen and made up at that. and the search for stuff and search for tags are different and the tag search is kinda hidden. But once you have some stuff you like, you can click the tags there. In the browse you see some screenshots and I believe you can chose a thumbnail for your project.

The comic specific things, I can not give much opinion, but if many comic artists come from similar sites, I can imagine that the  distinct differences to game  pages stem from that fact.

If you fear your art style or whatever would bother anyone ... I suggest you take a look at lots of games here. You are an artist. Most game devs are not, and it shows.

And maybe you misunderstood, while I do not read comics on itch in general, I could not figure out if your stuff would interest me - or not. That was a critique that I could not gather that information from the description. But than I had a look at other comic pages at random and saw that they seem all lacking in that regard. I am probably just used to reading game descriptions. But the description of a visual novel and of a graphic novel could have lots in common, I would assume.

Sorry for the late reply,

Thank you again, yeah- scrolling through a mass of tags to find the ones that describe your project is a new interface for me. For sure. But I do like an established limit of tags, because it does help organize all the projects for easier access and search.

This is all good advice, and especially thank you for pointing out the descriptions- apparently I did not realize the initial descriptions were displayed beneath the thumbnails- when I thought they would not matter at all…^^;. And now I can fix them!!

Thank you again for the advice and insight- my brain gets bogged down juggling projects, and Itchio was taking me for a spin with it’s interface.

makes much more sense switching my brain to a game dev’s perspective to interact with it 🙏
