What programming language do I make my game in?
I am new to Itch so it would help if you could give a thorough explanation.
Thank you!

You can make your game in any language you like, on itch.io it doesn't matter.

If you're asking what language to pick, that depends on what game you're making, what platforms it should be for, and what skills you already have. Well?

See an earlier post that I made.

Will I have to say that people need to download python to run the game?

If you’re using Python and you distribute the source code, then yes.

Otherwise, you can use a tool such as PyInstaller to create a Windows executable that people may download and run.

To clarify: you don't have to explain how to get Python, it's just that people might not like it if you let them figure it out by themselves.
