I Do Recommend Itch.io

 


 Itch.io* is an open marketplace for independent game creators. With my experience selling game assets in different asset stores and markets, I can definitely recommend it for both beginners and experienced creators.

Here are some of the benefits:

— At Itch.io, you can publish your assets immediately, without having to wait for approval

— Pricing options include "0 or donate" (pay-what-you-want model), "paid" (with a minimum price set), and "no payment" (distributed free of charge)

— The open revenue sharing model allows you to choose the percentage that will go to itch.io from every sale, with the majority going to support the development of the distribution platform

— It’s up to you how to customize the asset's page to make it more personalized and attractive: text fonts, colors, banners, background images

— Advanced filters make it easy for users to browse and find your products, and you don't need an existing audience to make sales

— Additionally, upload settings include the ability to set a different price for individual files or offer a demo version that can be downloaded for free

Other useful features:

— A customizable widget for embedding your asset packs on another website

— A devlog tab where you can post any new information about your asset. This can help not only to inform buyers about the updates, but also to build a community

— Detailed analytics to track activity (Views, Downloads and Payments, Incoming visits, etc.)

 — The Collections Tab is my favorite feature on Itch.io. It lists all the users' collections that your asset pack was added to. This information can be invaluable in generating new ideas for what your potential customers might be interested in 

 — There are no advertisements or distractions, ensuring a smooth user experience

— You can hold your Game Jam or take part in a bundle sale with other creators

— Itch.io fosters a supportive community through forums and events, and even offers occasions where creators can sell their assets without the platform taking a cut

These and some other features that I haven't covered make itch.io a great platform for creatives to showcase their work, earn for a living, and connect with the audience. For that reason, I encourage you to give Itch.io a try and see it for yourself.

Drawn 4 (2020)

Drawn Volume 4 is a beautifully designed thick edition presenting various contemporary illustrators. It was created by the Capsules Book team, a boutique publisher based in Melbourne, Australia. And each copy sold will help support the important work of Book Aid International, a UK registered charity which provides books and supports libraries in Africa and around the world. 

I'm honored to be featured in such a significant collection alongside outstanding designers, illustrators, and creatives from all over the world. Not only do I have my copy of the book to enjoy, but also my portfolio is showcased on their website. See all the participants. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part and contribute to such a meaningful project. Thanks to everyone involved for making this possible.
