I want to know how can I post a game on the refinery? I have edited my game page on the dashboard but I don't seem to find the option to put the game on the refinery program.

Hey, so i've search the admin interface high and low for 'refinery' and can't see any references to it at all.

Does anyone have any pointers? Thanks! Jim

Like everyone else here, we're a bit confused as to how we can use it.

We have a game in the works and would like to use itch.io to do a soft launch. Find enthusiasts who can help us with the polishing of the last 10%. I've been going all over the refinery landing page and I can't find any way to use it, add games to it. Is this still an active project?

Refinery is a set of tools that anyone is free to use. There's no program you have to join or any approval necessary. If you're using any of the things listed here then you're using refinery! https://itch.io/docs/creators/refinery

Tell me if you have any more questions.

I'm looking to host my very early builds of my current project on itch.io and want to set up a sign up sheet (probably through googleforms which would likely include a light NDA of some sort) as a way for folks who are interested to receive their keys. The plan would be to have a page on itch that provides information regarding the game, hosts dev logs, host community boards, and provides a link to the sign up form. Ideally only those who have signed up (or have a key) would be able to download the game and view/post in the community boards, but the game page and dev logs would be public.

However, reading through the documentation I'm not 100% certain on how to do that. Seems like I may have to make two game pages. One that is public and one that is restricted. 

Thanks!

Hello, I have followed the youtube tutorials. Butler is working correctly and connect, however, I keep getting that the system cannot find the file specified. The path is copy and pasted directly from the properties of the file. I've been trying for a week now and keep getting this error. Any ideas on what is causing it?

Make sure you wrap your paths in quotes when passing them in as command line arguments. It’s necessary when there’s a space in the path. Hope that helps

getting closer, here is my path butler push "C:\Program Files\Butler\TheMMIDemo icevayne-games/the-mmi-demo:win-64", it is the correct user and game id, so I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It’s kinda hard to tell what you ran from you pasted, but I think you’re mistakenly passing the src and target as a single argument. They are two separate arguments, which means two sets of quotes. (generally, though, quotes are not required for the target because targets will not contain spaces or any other characters that need to be quoted)

If you can share the entire command you’re running along with the error message I can probably point you in the right direction. Thanks


If I only put the "" around the path, it says it cannot locate it, it can only locate it when I enclose the entire command line in quotes. But is looks like it can't find the target page on itch. Thanks for your help with this.

If I only put the “” around the path, it says it cannot locate it,

Then you’re providing the wrong path. Double check to make sure it’s a valid directory. If you want to reply with that command you’re running I can take a look to see if I spot anything wrong.

it can only locate it when I enclose the entire command line in quotes

It’s not finding it, it’s showing you a completely different error message

Here is the file and the path in the command line. I've tried pretty much tried everything but have had no success.

I think the issue is that you don’t have a regular .zip file, but a special Windows folder called a Compressed Folder. From the properties panel in the screenshot I see that there’s no .zip file extension on it, which makes me believe it’s something else.

Butler is designed to work on compressed directories, so if you’re at a loss at what to do, try extracting the folder to a regular folder, and tell butler to work with that.

Thank you. I had the file extensions on my windows hidden so that was the issue Thanks again.
