itch.io

I've been told by multiple people that when they try to download my TTRPG PDF's, Itch warns them my products are malware. 

Does this happen to other people as well? I'm very confused, it's literally just a PDF. I wouldn't know how to put a virus in that if its even possible.

My page: https://sqeek-mcdohl.itch.io/iron-eagle-strikeforce-2e

I did end up hiring a guy to make my sheet, but if you do wanna do some sheet work, I technically need a page for players to list their spells if they decide to play as a Magician.

Thank you very much for your help. Have you heard of this happening before? 

The guide you made lead me to believe that if you don't update/change a game or its page, that it wouldn't get flagged again after being manually approved.

A game of mine was deindexed for about a month before a moderator got back with me and let me know it had been re-indexed. I haven't altered anything about the page or files and I discovered my game has been deindexed yet again, about 2 weeks after just being reindexed.

Has anyone else had this issue? Genuinely confused, I have avoided changing anything about my game or its page because I didn't want to risk getting deindexed again for doing so.

I believe my support ticket is still ongoing since I didnt get a response for my previous email: ID 255803

I'm looking to improve my TTRPG Iron Eagle by adding some more artistic flair to it, and looking for someone who can create a fancy-looking character sheet for players to print out and write on, or use on PC as a PDF.

It must be form-fillable, and ideally I'm hoping for it to look like an old WW2 era passport or ID card, something thematic that will fit the setting and mood of my game. 

Feel free to respond here if interested, and I can add you on Discord or something. I am willing to pay, of course, though this is a passion project more than anything so I'm looking for midrange quality.

Name of System: Iron Eagle Strikeforce

Number of Players: 1 DM, up to 4 players

Session Length: Assuming like 2 hours for each mission. 

Other Details: Game is a World War 2-era RPG that aims to play like Final Fantasy Tactics, combat is intended to be quick and deadly with a bolt action rifle able to drop people in 1-2 hits. I am aiming for feedback on how it feels, and ideas you may have for how to improve its mechanics.

How to contact: There is a link to my Discord community on the PDF, and on the page for my game.

Defend your honor and fight for glory in the war-torn countryside of an alternate-history post-WW2 China. In Celestial Empire, the Pacific Theater expansion for Iron Eagle, we included loads of new asian-themed Classes, Species, and Vehicles to set an entire campaign in the Far East. 

Naturally, traveling the pacific can be quite tricky without boats, so we include brand new rules for both ships and naval combat! Become either an honorable Japanese Samurai, or wander China as a folk hero, saving the day and fighting against invaders to save the Celestial Empire.

Personally, my proposal is only for paid games, you should have to buy the game before you're able to review it. That is more or less how it works on Steam.

If a person buys your game and still gives it a negative review, fine, you at least made a sale off them.

This change alone would help prevent review bomb harassment by random people for paid products.

Your demeanour is rude and your assumptions incorrect. Please try to be better in the future.

I've reported your hateful message and am blocking you as I've no time for hate in my life.

The irony there is at least one of my games reviews had a very hateful message from someone who did not buy or download my game, and itch will not remove it. Its been there for a month now.

I already reported the reviews in question nearly a month ago when I made this post, but Itch staff never removed the multiple 1 star reviews from people who had no way of  having played the game.

Had to result to just turning off reviews due to harassment Itch won't do anything about, as the game had 0 downloads and several 1 star reviews.

That is more or less what I was intending on doing, I just wasn't sure if that's allowed on Itch, to have two versions of the same game listed without you getting in trouble.

It's just the only way I could come up with to accurately denote my game using their new self-reporting system

Recently Itch has made it mandatory to say if your game has AI stuff in it, and while my game does not have any at the moment, I'm preparing a version of my game with AI art because I can't afford actual art.

I want to make the version available but don't want my normal version of the game to get filtered for containing AI art when it doesn't.

How does one go about listing something like this? Should I create a second page for my game to denote that version has AI?

Just have one page but say it doesn't use AI because the primary version doesn't?

Tell people who buy my game to email me to receive a version with art?

Its really weird that people can review your paid product on here despite not owning it. It shouldn't be possible for a brand new game to have 0 downloads, 0 sales, and multiple 1 star reviews.

Happy to announce the release of Hillside Homecoming, not my first game by far but the first one where I did all the art myself!

Hillside Homecoming is inspired by the NES ports of the old Macventure point and clicks (Shadowgate, Uninvited), and is a videogame adaptation of a choose-your-own-adventure/Fighting Fantasy book I wrote a year ago. 

The download includes both a copy of the game, as well as a free PDF copy of the book it is based on, for those of you who love Fighting Fantasy books, all for the price of a footlong (5$)

If it doesnt work straight out of the box then you need to make sure you have downloaded the RPG Maker MV RTP package from the company website.
