itch.io

Can you do 2D that is not pixel art?

Or people can just not update their Unity editors lol. I have to admit this kind of hysteria never made any sense to me.

The raw destructive power of Harambe is a sight to behold in this new smash hit game.

This is another generic indie game where the developer is trying way too hard to be deep but it falls flat. I can't recommend this game to anyone.

Now this is how you make a GAME!

Finally a game for people like me.

Interesting concept and okay art style, but the character designs are atrocious.

Oh no, I got downvoted
cringe

I don't like JRPGs, it's not your fault

The combat is pretty boring and tedious, and I feel that the main character is a cardboard cutout of a cliche. Having said that, I think it's really cool that you got an artist to help you out, so that it feels like there's a lot of stuff to do in the game

But the music is really catchy

But the game is a little boring, I think...

Good music

I'm not a game developer, I'm an auter. I don't make games, I create interactive experiences that move the heart and soul. What about you?????

it's boring

plus, that $100 steam fee gets you a lot. So much that it's almost charity how they promote your game. I'm dead serious, they actually want to see you succeed so much that it makes the admins of this site look antagonistic by comparison. You get exposure by doing nothing on Steam, whereas here you get... well, nothing, you're at the mercy of the staff who curate this site, unless you happen to be making a generic streamerbait horror game as I have already stated.

so if you want to find anything that's not a streamerbait horror game or staff-curated nothing-game, you're stuck wading through all the little "first game" high school projects. I really think that itch has a discoverability problem.

Regardless, my point still stands: Steam is king when it comes to discoverability. itch is junk in that regard.

Yep I agree with you man.  itch.io is the deviantart of games. There are some gems, but it's too hard to find them among all the junk.

And it doesn't help that the site is personally curated by staff, so your game won't even have a chance to be featured unless it happens to coincide with their agenda, whatever that may be. 

I still think Steam is the gold standard for discovery and distribution, even for indies. For whatever reason, they actually want to help you put your game in front of players. It's not just that Steam has more users; it's that the Steam platform has better discoverability functionality that will actually display your game to people, in an unbiased/non-curated way if it aligns with the player's interests and triggers the site algorithm. 

I'm not complaining (much) about itch.io but I think it has a lot of room for improvement in that regard. It's a pain in the butt looking for a fun game to play but only ever seeing streamerbait horror games on the "top rated" or "most popular" tabs, and for the featured games, only ever seeing the games that the staff of this site enjoys.

you're a legend, i like your work

I didn’t know which one you would reply to quicker lol

then maybe you should mean what you say, instead of saying what you don’t mean. 

or are you a coward?

You’re not too bright. And you talk like a redditor.

Patreon games are a type of scam model. These games are created with the intention of never being finished, so that the developer can keep collecting patreon bucks forever and ever and ever.

My games won't show up in the MOST RECENT or search

I really like this game! I thought it was very cute and charming. Thank you for translating it to English. I hope you will post more of your games here!

When you go to talk to him for the first time. When I hit Enter, it just stops accepting input but doesn't show any dialogue or anything.
