Looking very forward to the bundle when it releases! I appreciate all the work that you’ve done and continue to do to facilitate this bundle. Since it’s been almost two weeks since you received an update from Itch, I think it would be fair to follow up with a brief and polite “Hello, any updates on this?” message.

Folks, I promise I'm as worried as you about all of this. I have nudged them more than once. I've reached out directly to the founder of itchio. If it seems like a good idea to you, we have done it over four years of bundle work, please believe me.

I doubt we're nearly as worried as you are. I probably speak for just about everyone when I say that we deeply appreciate all the work and energy you've put into this. It's certainly frustrating all around, but I can only imagine how frustrated you must be, and I don't think anyone blames you for this situation.

I'm sorry for the troubleshooting message. In retrospect, I can see how it would only add to the stress of the situation, and I should have realized that you'd already have gone through all of the above steps and more. For my part, I'll take a deep breath and wait patiently. Hopefully, it's resolved soon, and I hope you're able to mitigate some of your worry in the meanwhile.

I think the recent bundle "E-Sims for Gaza" had a similar issue. They ended up having to redo the bundle page as a whole and resubmit it. You might have to do the same.

yes, we're aware of that and that's what we ended up doing last year. we've chosen not to do that this time. we still need itchio support at multiple points in that process, so if they aren't replying, it's not a better option for us.

I just worry if you don't it won't release until July to no fault of your own. Itchio seems to of downgraded in how it treats charity bundles.

I'm going to stop answering questions like this in this thread, but again, we need itchio in order to get any bundle online -- everyone does -- and our bundle is not charity.
