Recently got Pico 8 over on itch.io and wanted to find out if I can get it activated on my account here or will the itch version be kept upto date with the main site? thank you
There isn't currently any way to do this (I rushed the itch release a little to join the bundle), but later on I'll put an account activation button on the downloads page. itch has a nice api for doing this, which I believe also extends to bundled items. In any case, I'll be keeping the itch downloads up to date with the lexaloffle ones.
Can I ask a subsidiary question that I saw multiple times on Discord and Itch:
if you already have a license, does the bundle give you an extra one (permission to install pico-8 on another person’s machine), or do the licenses merge (you are the same person who paid for pico8 and bought the bundle)?
Bought some days ago on itch.io and found no way to bind pico-8 to this account.
Also, if I had the opportunity to get Voxatron in bundle on itch.io, I'd have been happy to drop the extra five dollars...but nope.
The year has been bad, I hope they don't forget us, but let's give 'em some time.
Still waiting for tha linking option on the itch download page.
I'm wondering as well. Since the new release just came out and all, it would make sense.
Umm.. I just purchased Pico-8 on itch.io I see there is no way to link it here
@zep Are there still plans to do this? I would love to have all of my Lexaloffle games in one place!
If you have the product key, you can link it to your account here:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/account.php?page=activate
This is possible with PICO-8 and Picotron purchases from Humble, but I'm not sure about itch.io
i want this to get the discount for picotron so i can switch one of my projects to that. shame its seemingly forgotten...
Hey All -- I opted not to support external logins for technical/devops reasons, but I noticed that itch now supports external key distribution (I'm not sure when that happened!), so I'm using that now instead. Check your itch downloads page to find a key (it starts with ITC), and redeem it here:
zep, thanks for implementing this! I don't see any key with ITC on my Itch download page for PICO-8. I wonder if it's because I purchased PICO-8 as part of a bundle on Itch?
ok, so it turns out the external keys system on itch does not apply to bundles (there was a warning on the bundle checkout, apparently).
Instead, if you own PICO-8 via an itch bundle and would like to have downloads available from lexaloffle, please email me (hey at lexaloffle) with proof of purchase and "itch bundle" somewhere in the title, and I'll add it to your account. To cut down on emailing, I've gone ahead and added PICO-8 for everyone in this thread.
You're also welcome to mail if you ended up owning PICO-8 twice (on lexaloffle + via the bundle) and want to give a key to someone else.
Great news! I always wanted to download pico-8 from lexaloffle account (it's the official site xd)
