Is there a way to connect Exclusive Content to uploads or keys?

So how do we use this now? Or is it already integrated with the old system?

So is any game we put on itch.io through the refinery? I just recently put a game up in prototype status so was just wondering.

I am also a little confused, I clicked the get started button but there isnt really information that i could find on what we need to do?

"itch.io refinery is a customizable toolset made for developers to distribute their unfinished games, build a real community and gain useful feedback." All right, that sounds good. "We think early access is broken"...Wow, what? Did you just insult all the great games I've bought and enjoyed on Steam Early Access? Is it really that important to position yourselves as jerks?

Hey guys! We just showed Super Combat Jr 2 at Combo Breaker! It was pretty cool to do a public showing for videogame folks instead of at local festivals (which is also cool in another way).

We initially went into the tournament posting on twitter and forums we're on about 50 free keys we had to give to everyone. We gave away something like 20 or so keys to the game.

Initially we wanted to release the keys only to the current build; full access to the final finished game would be reserved for actual buyers. Later on we actually decided that anyone who supports us this early can just have copies of the game, but for future events I think that would be a cool way to promote the game.

Anyways, it would be cool to be able to release tiered keys for the game. I know I can just make another game on itch and have it exist as its own thing with its own limited keysets, and I think that's what we're going to do in the future, but it would be cool to have a tiny ecosystem for all the versions of CJr floating out there.

I'm looking to do the whole 'only X number of buyers for early testing' thing. I'd like to see an example page if possible, if someone (or itch) has one setup? I'm unsure if I've set things up properly.

It just seems confusing right now as I have a 'Purchase/Buy Now' button for $XX, then under it, 'Exclusive Content' and another pay $XX button. I'd think it'd be much cleaner if there was just the one buy now button, which explained that there is only a limited quantity.

I think the Exclusive Reward thing itself is a little odd (in respect to offering limited keys). It doesn't really explain what people are getting. They aren't getting a reward for buying the game, they're getting the game itself, albeit one that's limited in quantity.

If possible, I'd have no 'Purchase'/buy button first, but only something like:

Limited Release First Access

Buy Now ($XX) Only N remaining.

Refinery looked like the perfect toolset for doing our closed beta for Joggernauts! Thank you for providing such an amazing toolset for free!!!

Like everyone else here, we're a bit confused as to how we can use it.

We have a game in the works and would like to use itch.io to do a soft launch. Find enthusiasts who can help us with the polishing of the last 10%. I've been going all over the refinery landing page and I can't find any way to use it, add games to it. Is this still an active project?

Hello, I have followed the youtube tutorials. Butler is working correctly and connect, however, I keep getting that the system cannot find the file specified. The path is copy and pasted directly from the properties of the file. I've been trying for a week now and keep getting this error. Any ideas on what is causing it?
