i would be eager to join yet another game platform :) can never be enough people are not so easy to reach. is there already visual material of the page or even a rest realse, it would be cool if there would be an equal chance for any dev to be promoted, so i propose a radical idea kick stuff like followers, ratings, or reviews just let the screenshots and videos and maybe a demo speak for the game, rather not the opionion of most, because you know what most people are knuckleheads, and then adding radom suggestion or maybe even add more personalisation like the platform learnes about users and so they gameing behaviour leads to more stuff that they could actually like, i mean there also should be a completely radom system for the main page, no abitly to sort it of popularity, just a-b or completly random or genre based randomness this idea is not further developed as i just came up with it , but it certainly would provide a far more fair approach into indie gaming which is art, so thsi actually makes sense, just imaging the new cod are somewhere deep within and between our games haha this would truely be a huge steep into the right direction and a truely important day in human history i mean it it would be a complete new approch from my knowledge there aint any other platform witgout followers and rating, but this belongs to social media and not into serious art creation....
edit
forgot the most imporatn part: NO FREE STUFF ANYMORE, it leads nowhere useful for devs, degrading a game whose creation exceeds 1000 hours by far, sometimes it can take years :O
its very important to not make exceptions i mean the price can be low as 1 dollar but teach gamers that games are work and everyone gets paid for their work, well people that dont really work, like in offices or whatever, i mean sometimes i work through 2 or 3 day until i drop from my chair for people are not even spenging a simple dollar, a fucking buger is more expensive this is rediculous
maybe providing a proper refudn sytem, kinda like steam, but not limited to time rather the game warns you when you reach a trigger in a map or what ever which tells you that you won't be able to refunf anymoer also providing a simple way to make this happen itch refund is not great i bought apps not even working wrote to support a year ago or more, well still no answer, this has to be improved in this steam leaves itch far behind...their support is great also making certain exceptions when they see i have 2000 games(/tools on steam :D haha itch support is too slow which wasnt a problem for me until my last and my most impressive ultimate bundle 300 wasnt able to launch as some dumbasses werent able to approve it, this is still not improved even if it would as easy as providing a delete option for members by the host of the bundle ....i mean i had soo much great games and tool in the submissions, also the second part of my last ultimate revivor bundle could not launch because of 2 peope and itch could care less even as you approch their discord, i mean i can understand that their team is small, but again ,why not provide this simple solution to bundes, and its true just ask my dude ansel from bundle everywhere in a privat chat he stated that he this system causes so much BLOCK and pain for the creator, i mean imaging adding 300 titles one by one just to not beeing able to launch because of Knucklehead devs
even found the submission game-jam: Submissions to Ultimate 300 Bundle Submissions - itch.io just look at the games i really was proud of this one, and this one was also fucked up as some dev i really looked up to join two times yet exacteely these failed, it looks soo shitty :/ Submissions to Ultimate Revivor Bundle Submissions - itch.io
