itch.io

Our same quality guidelines apply, if you abuse the tagging feature to lie then you will no longer be eligible for indexing on our discovery pages.

Negative filtering is coming soon.

The no-ai was created for convenience, as it is not a strict negative of ai-generated. The no-ai tag is only applied to pages where the creator explicitly marked their page as not containing generative AI. Pages that haven’t completed the tagging will not receive this tag. Think of it as a way for a creator to announce their page is AI free.

You should be good to go now

We’ve deployed a new field to project edit pages called “Generative AI disclosure.” This field asks if your project contains the results of generative AI. If you select yes, then we also ask what kinds of generative AI you utilize, including Graphics, Sound, Text & Dialog, and Code.

If you select “yes,” then your page will automatically receive the AI Generated tag.

Additionally, the following sub-tags are used for the content types:

• AI Generated Graphics
• AI Generated Sound
• AI Generated Text & Dialog
• AI Generated Code

For projects that select “no,” they will receive the tag No AI.

Note: It’s not necessary to use these “automatic” tags manually when classifying your page. We may rename or modify them to fit future classification needs, so please correctly fill out the disclosure form instead of manually tagging.

Required for Asset Creators

This field is now required for all asset creators on itch.io. If you have a public asset page on itch.io and you view your dashboard, you will now see a blocking dialog instructing you to classify your pages.

Screenshot...

Because we understand that some asset creators can have a large quantity of pages, we’ve included a bulk tagging tool to simplify the process of tagging assets.

Assets comprised of generative AI (even if modified afterwards) that are not tagged will no longer be eligible for indexing on our browse pages. You can review our quality guidelines here: https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines#ai-disclosure

We’ll have a grace period for people to update their pages, then we’ll likely use user reports to handle pages that have not been addressed.

Wahoo

I believe it’s because you bought the item 3 years ago under a different email, so although your account “owns” the purchase, it did not “buy” it. I’ve attached it do your account so you should be within the threshold now.

I believe it’s Bluesky’s alternative to having verified accounts as seen on other platforms. You can prove you own a domain (or subdomain) to prove your identity.

You should be good now, thanks for your patience.

There’s no way to cycle through it, but everything up there should also be something that shows up on grid on the homepage, so if you no longer see it in the top slot it should be somewhere below.

You’re 10 cents short 😢

You can review your purchases here: https://itch.io/my-purchases

For the Bluesky integration? No, sorry, we don’t have any plans to activate any sub-sub domains.

Oh, and anhy chance of extending the $10 restriction to accounts that have sold more than $10 too?

Probably just going to keep it like it is for now. It’s possible we’ll open it up to more people in the future but no immediate plans. Thanks

If it helps debug the issue, I don’t see any support requests in our system from the same email on your account.

Might be worth having a functional email sorted out in case you have figure issues with accounts or purchases.

Try it again, we had a > $10 instead of >=

Sorry about that, looks like we had the check setup wrong. It should be fixed now for future users.

I understand you’re frustrated but please do not make unsubstantiated claims to try to draw attention to your case, it’s not helpful for anyone. We process hundreds of payouts daily, for this reason we have very strict rules about account eligibility for payouts to mitigate fraud and risk. It appears in this case your tax information has expired and is undergoing validation. This is a mandatory step, an account must have validated tax information in order to receive a payout, even if the account previously received a payout int he past. You will have to wait for this process to complete until your account is eligible for payouts again. Once your information is validated the payout will be placed back into a queue so that it can be human reviewed and processed for payment.

I like to think that our payout timeline is generally very fast compared to other platforms, which often have minimum 30 or 60 day timelines for payouts. We appreciate your patience in working within our requirements for payouts.

Thanks

I understand your frustrated, but please don’t create duplicate topics and try to remain civil so someone can help you out.

Today we’ve deployed some new profile link options and a few improved social media integration features.

You can now add links to your Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts from your account settings page. These links will appear directly on your public profile page when you add them.

Bluesky Integration

Additionally, we’re now making it possible to use your itch.io subdomain as your Bluesky handle (here’s my page as an example @leafo.itch.io). You can set this up by assigning the generated decentralized identifier (DID) to your itch.io account from the BlueSky DID page in your account settings.

To set this up:

1. Go to the Bluesky settings page
2. Click “Change Handle” and select “I have my own domain”
3. Enter your itch.io subdomain (e.g. username.itch.io)
4. Choose “No DNS panel” when prompted
5. Copy the did:plc:... value and paste it here: https://itch.io/user/settings/bluesky
6. Click Verify Text File to confirm the username update

We’re trying a new experiment with this feature: It’s limited to accounts that have spent at least $10 on itch.io. Primarily this is to help prevent any funny business, but also we’d like to encourage you to buy some stuff on itch.io. 😎

Mastodon & Fediverse Improvements

If you provide a Mastodon account from your account settings page, a few additional enhancements will also take place:

• The link on your profile page will include the rel="me" attribute. This will allow you to add your itch.io profile link to your Mastodon profile page and it will get a green verified checkbox.

• The fediverse:creator metatag is inserted into game and blog post pages that you have authored. This will enable itch.io link embeds on Mastodon to show author attribution of your fediverse account. Learn more here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/. You must opt-in to the domains that are eligible for attribution from Edit Profile > Public Profile > Verification (and scroll to the bottom, add itch.io and your own subdomain)

Redirects are not automatically removed, to prevent people from hijacking old pages that may have been renamed.

Staff will be able to clear out the redirect when they process your support ticket. Then you can claim that username with your other account.

Script tags can be used to hold text data if you set the type to something other than javascript. They will not be executed by the browser. In this case, our loading lightbox dialog template is stored in a script tag before being displayed to the user.

Very nice

I triggered a manual calculation, they should be available now. Typically this can happen if the dates/settings of the jam were changed in a way that interferes with the task to automatically rank the jam.

Jam hosts are not subject to the rating review queue if I remember correctly, so the UI that you see will not be what regular participants will see. I’m not currently aware of any issues that prevent the review queue from working as expected, can you share why you think it wasn’t working?

Thanks

This sounds like an error in your game engine/game code that is causing the game to freeze. I would check the browser console to see if there’s any indication of what is going on.

Never send someone a “refund” by paying them in a separate transaction. Always reverse the original transaction, this can be done by contacting itchio support if you aren’t using direct payments on your account. If there’s a dispute then you can approve of the refund to resolve the dispute.

You need to read the rules before posting.

Looks like AI generated bulk content. This type of content may not be eligible for indexing, especially since you do not disclose it anywhere on your page.

Closing this thread. Please do not hijack other people’s topics to get your own issue resolved. Don’t use other threads to “reply” to a staff member to notify them. Create a new thread, after reading the rules, if you have any issue you think someone on our community forums can address.

Your ticket has been processed, check your email for a response. We do not do customer support on our community forums.

Thanks
