4.4Publishing to itch.io

itch.io is the easiest of the three by a wide margin, and it is the one to start with if you have never shipped anything. Two fields and an upload.

1. 1

   Set up butler

   Under Releases → Settings, point the app at butler.exe. You can get it from the itch.io app or from itch's own download page.

2. 2

   Fill in the itch target

   Under Releases → Stores, set Target to yourstudio/yourgame and Channel to something like windows-beta. The channel is how itch tells your uploads apart — one per platform, or one per audience.

3. 3

   Upload

   Publish a finished build. Butler reports genuine progress, which the app reads and shows.
