Necrosoft Games Launches Itch.io Charity Bundle for California Wildfire Relief

Necrosoft Games, led by founder Brandon Sheffield, is calling on game developers and creators to join a charitable initiative aimed at aiding victims of the devastating California wildfires. Through an itch.io charity bundle, the gaming community has a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact by contributing their paid creations to the cause.


Submissions Open Until January 19, 2025

Developers interested in participating can submit their paid products until the deadline on January 19, 2025. Sheffield emphasized that all proceeds from the bundle will go directly to the California Fire Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting fire victims and their families.


About the California Fire Foundation

The California Fire Foundation provides crucial financial assistance to individuals and families affected by wildfires. This includes helping victims rebuild their homes, secure temporary housing, and more. Additionally, the foundation supports the families of firefighters who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty and offers grants to community organizations involved in long-term recovery efforts.

“They support victims of fire with financial assistance, including funds to help rebuild homes, secure temporary housing, et cetera,” Sheffield explained. “They also support families of firefighters that have died on the job, and grants for community organizations that rebuild affected areas over the long term.”


Launching January 20, 2025

The California Fire Relief Bundle is set to launch on January 20, 2025. Sheffield clarified that the bundle will feature only paid products, ensuring that all submissions provide tangible contributions to the fundraising effort.

“We are asking game developers, tabletop creators, anyone who makes paid products on itch to submit their work to this bundle,” Sheffield said. “We are making this bundle to do good, but some folks will be buying it because of the ‘value’ for better or for worse. More free games also increase the vetting process on our end dramatically. This means all free games will be rejected.”


A History of Giving

This isn’t the first time Sheffield has organized or participated in charity bundles. Past efforts have supported causes such as Ukraine and Palestine, showcasing the gaming community’s capacity for generosity and global impact. With this new initiative, Necrosoft Games aims to rally the industry once again to address an urgent need.


How to Participate

For developers and creators interested in contributing, more details, including submission guidelines and an extensive FAQ, are available on the itch.io website. Whether you’re a game developer, a tabletop creator, or someone with a paid product on itch.io, this is your chance to make a difference in the lives of those affected by California’s wildfires.

Together, through creativity and collaboration, we can help rebuild lives and communities.
