itch.io

I’ve edited my original post with the results from testing this - it didn’t let my friends access the extra things added after they’d already purchased the bundle.

Correct, separate projects added to a bundle :D

Rephrased example:

• Initial bundle has 5 game assets
• A person buys the bundle while it has 5 assets
• I later decide to add 2 more game assets to the bundle
• Does the person get access to the 2 extras in addition to their existing 5?

Thanks so much for the quick answer!

Edit: the answer is no. I tested it with two friends, results below!

I’m very grateful for the help of two friends who helped me test this twice (with separate bundles) to confirm the same results, and they only got access to what the bundle contained when they bought it.

Here’s what we did:

• First I set up a bundle - for it to count as one, it needs two products (at least one of which being a paid product/not free) and I set discount to where the price was just over $1.00
• I enabled the coupon code option so that it remained private, and gave them a link
• They kindly purchased the bundle and confirmed they received both products and can access them from their bundles via https://itch.io/my-purchases/bundles
• I then added additional paid products to the same bundle and saved the changes
• When both friends clicked the link to this bundle from their owned bundles page, it took them to a 404 “We couldn’t find your page”
• When they visited the coupon secret url they could see the bundle, but it still showed a purchase button. Clicking it and then going to “I already bought this…” to re-send the download links, the bundle download link didn’t work either

What we think is that itch treats the bundle as unique for the time of purchase So if the bundle is changed, the history for the bundle that you purchased is no longer available from purchase menu. The OG link works, but it functions as a new sale. (If someone can fact check this I’d appreciate it!)

Alternative solution:

Create a new project and treat that as a “bundle” product, where you upload the product files from other projects (you can embed/link to their pages in the page description). This way, when you add something new to your “bundle” you can send update posts and notify followers & people who already purchased :D

There are many fantastic creators already listing these!
Some further thoughts on this method:

• you can still add a sale to this individual “bundle” product :D
• updates to the original project assets will then need to be re-updated in the bundle product
• I’m not sure if people who haven’t purchased an item can leave a rating/review, but I think they can
• the bundle product may get different visibility in search depending on how you categorise it, what tags you add, and how popular it becomes
• if your customers want to own the related product/projects in their library, you probably need to set up a redeem code for each and include this in the bundle product

(Original message) Question in title: If I add more assets to a bundle, will people who already bought it get the new items?

I’d like to run a long duration bundle where I add an extra thing each month :) Thanks in advance for any info!

Thanks :D

Thanks so much for the info!

Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!

Do have an example of where the wide cover promo image actually gets shown?

Thanks for the time and effort you’ve put into making this! :D

Do you have an example of where the wide cover image actually gets shown?

Thank you so much for the time and effort you’ve put into this guide!

Do you happen to know where the 21:9 Wide cover image (under Metadata > Promo images) ends up being used?

I couldn’t see it in use on any of the featured releases on the itch homepage, and the background for those seems to be a blurred version of the project’s first screenshot.

This is sooooo cosy!!

What a fun concept! :D I love your use of paper textures at the edges

I absolutely adore your illustrations!

This is really neat! I love the effect randomizer :D

Ooooh intriguing options!

This looks absolutely gorgeous :D

thank youuu!

haha thanks!

thank youuu!

thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with it :D

I went for an Escher-inspired piece for mine!

“Balance” made me think more of visual balance and how repeating tile patterns fit together :D

it started out as a hummingbird but I couldn’t get it to fit and soon pivoted - I’m glad I did because I managed to turn it into The Tortoise & the Hare

it’s a great balance of slow & steady thinking vs OHNO-THE-DEADLINE!!

heyo! courtesy ping to let you know that I’ve just updated the font with additional Latin Extended characters :D

Thank you so much! Latin Extended is the first on my list :D I’ve got a jam-packed schedule coming up but I’d like to make these additions before the end of next month. 🥳

thank youuu! :D

Thank youuu! 🙌

Thanks for the encouragement!! 🙌 I'll stick at it :D

thanks so much!! 🙌 I'm gonna work really hard on finishing it to a playable demo :D
I've got lots to learn

Great concept! I enjoyed playing this :D

This is a great concept and I love the way the shadowy platforms look. Excellent interpretation of the theme!

What a fun concept! I love your interpretation of the theme and the art is great :D

This is an amazing concept and the mechanics and gifs in your GDD look fantastic! Unfortunately the game got stuck on the initial loading so I haven't played it yet (I'm on a laptop so maybe I don't' have the requirements to run it)

Great work on this! Thanks for inspiring me to check out physics in Godot - I've just started learning :D

Great concept for this theme! I love the intensity of the music when it changes :D

Thank you so much for the encouragement! 🙌 I'll learn some more and develop it further :D

I did it! All citizens have light once again :D What a neat concept and thanks for inspiring me to see what's possible with making things in Godot (I'm new to game dev and just started learning for this jam) 

That was fun!

I enjoyed playing this and the way you've explored the theme with this mechanic is fantastic :D I'm really inspired by what you've made in Godot

Thanks so much! 🙌 I'm going to keep learning and making games - I'll definitely revisit this and make a fully playable demo when I learn how :D

This is fantastic!! I had a lot of fun playing this :D It's really inspiring to see what you've made in Godot (I just started learning game dev for this jam)

It did get really laggy on the first room of mushrooms but after that it was fine :)

Also Fungumbra is a great name

Hah I love the dialogue! Also adorable bonus picture in your GDD :3

Omg I love the art :3 great take on this theme!

Thank youuuu! I intend to go and learn more about game dev and Godot first but I will definitely revisit this and make it into a properly playable demo :D

Great concept!! It's really inspiring to see what you've made in Godot :D
