When it comes to hidden downloads on itch.io, I got a question. I am currently in the middle of a big project, and since it's a one-man show (in other words all the active development lies in my hands alone), and alpha testers being welcome, I wonder about the hidden downloads. Are they completely undownloadable (except by myself) or is there a way in which I can authorize potential alpha testers to download the game anyway while the general audience cannot see the game, yet? And in the latter case, I'd like to know a quick way how?
For me the answer to this question is only a bit important in if I can open up the page it's now, and start uploading or not (and if not possible I'm afraid alpha testers will then have to go to Game Jolt where the alpha version is being updated on daily basis in secret without anyone unauthorized seeing it, but I came here to broaden my horizon). ;)
