Art marketplace cross-promotion?
We're experimenting with cross-promotion with our various sister marketplaces, including:
itch.io | Sketchfab | Freesound.org | Godot asset store BETA
The following OGA artists host content on some of these other platforms. Check them out!
| 2DPIXX on Godot store! | Tsorthan Grove on Godot store! | Screaming Brain Studios on Itch.io! | GloryToTheMachine on Itch.io! | THE13RUIN on Itch.io! |
|---|---|---|---|---|

If you would like to cross-promote your content, just follow these steps:
- Have some assets hosted here on OGA.
-
Submit some of your assets to one of the platforms listed above.
The assets don't need to be the same as your stuff on OGA, but they must be shared under one of the free licenses accepted on OGA (or be compatible with such licenses): CC0, OGA-BY, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, WTFPL, Public Domain, et cetera. This doesn't mean all of your content on those platforms must be under a free and open license, but the ones featuring a banner (below) must be. -
Display one of the banner images below and link back to Opengameart.org.
When submitting assets to one of the above platforms, add a link to OGA's main page (https://opengameart.org), your OGA profile page, or one of your OGA submission pages. Display one of the banner images below as one of the media previews or in the asset page's description. -
Let us know!
Post a comment below linking to your asset on the other platform(s). We'll add your information above and promote you here!
NOTE: Due to the Terms-of-Use on these other platforms, you should only share assets where you have explicit permission from all contributing artists. If you plan to share assets derived from prior free works, you should obtain permission from the authors of all works that your asset was derived from before sharing it on the above platforms. If you are the sole author of your assets, no problem! Just give yourself permission to share your work! :D
NOTE: OGA has no official affiliation or promotion with these platforms. Although we wouldn't mind that, this is just a friendly attempt to give well-deserved attention to some of our favorite artists and platforms.

Big fan of cross promotion between these sites :) I've had a link to OGA on my main website for years now, but not Itch.io, so this is helpful!
Screaming Brain Studios - itch.io
@Screaming... do you have a logo or small banner you would prefer we use here to link to your itch.io page?
I'm not sure which size would be best, though I have one that might be good:

It wouldn't let me edit my comment from before, but I do have a slightly larger version of that which might look better scaled down:

Hello! Love the site and I have cross promoted! Here is the link: https://idothedrawing.itch.io/fox-sprite-free-2d-animated-pixel-art-sprite-pack
Thanks! Let me know if you would like a different logo image or linked URL.
Also, does your page link back to OpenGameArt.org anywhere?
You can use my profile image. Also, I posted the picture in the assets but I will edit it to link back here as well!
[STATUS]: READY FOR DEPLOYMENT
[ENCODING]: D4T4_H3M0RRH4G3_PROTOCOL
[COORDINATES]: [ITCH.IO PAGE]
I have successfully hard-coded the OGA-banner into the D4T4_H3M0RRH4G3 data stream on itch.io.
[MODIFICATION_CLEARANCE_REQUIRED]: Is it permissible to alter the banner’s palette to suit my page aesthetic? Or must the original asset remain untouched for validation?
Awaiting clearance.

@IDoTheDrawing: On another note, I just noticed your asset on itch is not under any OGA-compatible license. It is ok to specify terms not explicitly equal to one of OGA's accepted licenses, so long as the terms are compatible. The "Restrictions" you have listed under License & Usage conflict with all OGA licenses. That is your prerogative; you should license your content the way you prefer, but it may prevent continued cross promotion. Let me know if you have questions.

[STATUS]: EXECUTING_REPAIRS
1. [QUANTUM_STATE_COLLAPSED]: The Itch.io asset page has been updated to explicitly state CC-BY 4.0 licensing protocols, just like in the README.txt file.
2. [ICON_UPLOAD]: Project icon/logo has been successfully uploaded to the terminal for Administrator notification : .PNG & .JPG
[ENCRYPTED_QUERY]: Regarding the [OPTIONAL] backlink request: I cant seem to find how to put the OGA baner as a hyperlink .
Does this satisfy the "Backlink Present" requirement, or is there a specific terminal command you recommend for hard-coding the link into the .PNG itself? (putted as a "screenshort" in my itch.io page , not in the description itself)
Awaiting further synchronization

I'm not sure if this is how it's done? But I gave it a try!(＾▽＾)换装插画套装——林彤泽，作者THE13RUIN
Yep! What image would you like to use here? Your user avatar image?
I think either is fine! You can use my avatar or the illustration images, whichever is more convenient for you!(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
