Hey! This is super cool! Can't wait to show this to my nerd friends lol.
I'm also working on a game that I want to also have a quickstart for. How did you make the decision to have one itch page for the full game and one for the quickstart? I see the benefit of the quickstart's page being obviously a free product, but I also think having all traffic to the same page makes sense too. You may not have given this any thought but I had to pick your brain on it!
thanks for the kind words! I made the QS a separate page because the full game (i.e. this itch page) wasn't completely finished when I first launched my Kickstarter, but i wanted to have a free, self-contained, try-before-you-buy experience for people who were on the fence about pledging. I figured an itch page was a good way to distribute it since it would let me update it as rules were finalized, etc. The large initial influx of attention during the crowdfund also meant that it jumped up to itch's New & Popular tab, which got additional eyes on the Kickstarter itself (since I included a link in the QS description).
If you're going to release both your game and the quickstart at the same time and don't plan on using a free version as a marketing funnel for your crowdfund (like i did), I think putting them both on the same page makes sense!
