Adding gifs to the game


Using gifs to showcase the game is really important to get people to try the game. This is the process I have used to create mine, using Windows 10 and the game bar tool, which is installed by default. You can open the game bar with Win+G, but it is not even necessary. These are the steps.

  • Run the game.
  • Start recording with Win+Alt+R. This records the active window (you dont need to run the game on full screen). The mouse will be visible, so better hide it.
  • Stop the recording with the same shortcut.
  • Search for "video to gif online" on Google. There are several options.

  • Reduce the framerate and introduce compression to reduce the file size. Itch.io only accepts images with <3mb of size.
  • Download the gif.
