Can you publish a submitted game on Itchio

Thanks for answering my question @HarrisPS. Yes, you are correct. I wanted to share it on different platforms to arose interest(just a few chapters of course). But I assume that certain platforms like Twine would be completely out of the picture. I don’t think CoG would want the same product in another game engine.

Getting additional visibility from itch is very difficult as there is a lot of competition for visibility. itch also only promotes games which are already popular, so unless you can get a lot of views to your itch page by yourself, itch isn’t going to help you get more.

For reference, these were my itch stats after one month. I needed about 3000 views from the forums to get me another 1000 views from itch. But I had a massive burst of initial traffic from my new WIP thread to get me there.

Unless you can get a thousand or so clicks to your itch demo within the first week (without help from itch), getting up the New and Popular section can be a challenge.

Say, if I wanted to make a novel version of the same IF, would that be okay? I originally came from RoyalRoad and have been planning to write another novel over there for a while. I miss those writathons lol

A traditional novel is not considered a competing format, and you own the copyright to the game, so that’s fine. You’re probably also free to copy/paste text from your IF into the novel, since the text is your property.
