Hello all, just a quick bit of housekeeping I wanted to go over!
A while back I set all of the Courting Death games/osts to Free Download Only, with no paid option. I was going to keep it there, however this month I ran into an unforeseen issue: itch.io does not allow you to promote Free Only games during sitewide seasonal sales.
I have gone back and forth about this, but I have decided to set my works back to simply 0$ or donate. The main problem I had was this: I don’t need for my games to earn me money, but I DO want people to play them. I am an artist, and art requires an audience to complete the communication through the medium being used. Outside of word of mouth and anyone who bumps into my account on bluesky...the only real promotion I have for my work IS the seasonal i…

The main problem I had was this: I don’t need for my games to earn me money, but I DO want people to play them. I am an artist, and art requires an audience to complete the communication through the medium being used. Outside of word of mouth and anyone who bumps into my account on bluesky...the only real promotion I have for my work IS the seasonal itch.io sales. In the past I have simply used them as a way to promote my already free games, but I guess that isn’t allowed unless donations are turned on.
I sat out this Halloween sale, but I’ve decided to turn on donations so that I can promote my work in the future sales. I’m an artist who’s work is very tied to the seasons anyways, so I think it makes sense to do so.
THAT SAID! If you really have money burning a hole in your pocket, oh my god please look elsewhere to give it than to me. The world is a mess right now I’m sure you can find someone who needs it more by just looking around your surroundings.
Also please continue to pressure payment processors. That whole thing is not over.
Thank you - Jenna
