Hi,

Iam a new game dev and my question is what do I need to include in my files before uploading to itch, or is there even something I need to include for example a readme a license thing. (For Legal stuff)

Iam very new to game dev to uploading and to itch so a total beginner guide would be verry nice. I dont want to get into legal trouble.

All you have to include is a game that can be played. There's no need for a license or anything. Though for assets it's very important, and for game people will appreciate it.

You're free to include any type of file, the most important thing is to make sure what's in your game page ends up in your download (don't scam people), and make sure that everything is working fine.

For your example, if you want to add a license to your game, you can include it in your zip file. 

Good luck !!   

Thanks so much!!!
