Over the last few months I have done quite a bit of research on how to make the best use of Itch to get your game out there. Today we published our findings, a comprehensive description of how powerful Itch is as a tool and how to best use, how to reach the optimal setup for your game. You can see our findings it here. It contains comprehensive but accessible explanations on a number of topics alongside case studies.

I hope you find our research useful, and I wish you success in your game's development.

Pretty impressive guide. Would like to see this as a post somewhere instead of a google doc so it can be indexed by search engines!
