I' be on itch.io for almost 2 years and I have published 4 of my video games and 4 of my tools. I only had feedback for the third video game I developed (Connect4); here I open a parenthesis: cause of the lack of a visual contact with the user who published it and the cultural difference, my answer was inappropriate (I was a bit surly, and I'm sorry). Now, I admit that often I have not had an idea, for the design, very original; I also admit that on itch.io itch.io there is graphics certainly better and the music and sound effects are not innovative. However one of them (BounceB) has been classified on itch.io among the best with lateral scrolling and among the best 32 bit programs. I do not have much time to devote this year to development, but if I could get opinions from other users and developers I could improve a lot. For example, my beta-testing is not enough. If there are more people willing to download my video games (or free demos) that give me their opinions, I could invest in free patches with many more levels. Perhaps the price is too high? Or who has tried the demos or the free programs that I published have noticed defects or malfunctions? In fact, nowadays, one can say that physically every PC, also from the same brand, is a machine always different, for the definition of compatible PC (IBM), and it is not easy to guarantee the running on each operating system, or, even on all versions of an operating system such as Windows.
This is not about competition or cooperation between developers; more than anything else if user uses itch.io without being an active contributor, or a simple enthusiast of video games, or even just out of curiosity, he could give his opinion, finding itch.io interesting. I do not know if to be interesting it is necessary to be followers, compatriots, acquaintances or friends; I know that Italy does not have a good reputation in the world and I also know that many people's dream is to be American citizens, but, if I'm not too unpleasant, and if you have a little time, could someone answer me? Thanks anyway.
