HOLDING THE BABY: how to make and distribute physical games in the age of digital download dominance
A downloadable zine
So, you worked hard on your game, and you've posted it to Itch.io, and maybe even put it on Steam. Great job!
You pat yourself on the back, but something aches in your heart as you look at your game among a sea of other thumbnails, and anticipate it being swept up in the waves, lest the social media gods have mercy on you and your poor, pathetic link...
There's just got to be more to this game development thing than throwing up a post, and praying that the algorithm does its thing!
HOLDING THE BABY: How to Make and Distribute Physical Games in the Age of Digital Download Dominance is your guide to escaping digital-only games distribution and creating a more tactile and personal experience with your precious creations. In it, you will find information on how to acquire, design, distribute, display, and enjoy physical copies of your games, even on a shoestring budget. Just like you held your favorite childhood game at your local game store so long ago, you can hold a game you're proud of!
If you're ready to empower yourself to take back your games distribution experience from social media algorithms and Internet marketplace censorship, then it's time to read this zine.
It's time to HOLD THAT BABY!

Oh been wanting something like this for a while! Thanks!
np!!! i hope you make some cool physical copies (and if you do i want to see!!!!)
my copies will be for my erotica web series first and foremost! Idk if you're into that but the news will be here if it happens; https://www.gummyandthedoctor.com/
I am!! I actually have a list I’m working on for my site where I’m compiling all different artists who have their work hosted on their own websites outside of itch.io due to all the censorship going on. Can I add your site to the list? I think people who frequent my site would enjoy your work a lot!
you can, but our actual video work isn't hosted on our site due to some restrictions. We host all the videos on pornhub and ao3 so I don't think we actually qualify for the list right now ;>; at the moment our website is just a hub for video links until I can get a reliable server. (I'm just a comic artist and not too smart with websites)
