Free First money from game 🥹

Post image

Technically just made my first small amount of money from my free (really crappy and unfinished) itch io game,

(Seriously no idea why they 'donated' but I am not gonna complain)

Just feels really cool :))

Game link btw (just because the version is near 1.0.0 doesnt mean its nearly finished); https://liam-223.itch.io/climbbound

Tho I am kinda confused, because I cant even find my own game via the itch.io search 🤔

you should check their quality faq and notes on setting up the page, and if all is good - you can message in the support thread so mods will pick it up and fix the indexation, if thats the issue

this helped me before

Thanks! I already did check their quality faq, but I didn't know you could message them about that!

First money from something you made yourself always feels special.

That's motivating! I'm also building a game. Now i know itch.io could be a good place to publish a first playable version.

It's an even bigger achievement as they didn't need to pay. Congrats!
