How To Spend Crafter Points

Now that you have some crafter points, what can you do with them? There are currently two things you can do with crafter points: use them for discounts, and use them to promote your games.

Discounts

In your account you can convert crafter points to shop credit. This will allow you to get discounts on merchandise in the TGC Shop. 10,000 crafter points is worth $1.00 in shop credit.

Featured Status

Instead of using your crafter points as discounts in the shop, there is a more valuable way to put them to use. You can spend 1,000 crafter points to feature your game in the shop for one day. Featured games stand out in the shop. They're placed on the front page of the shop, and have a special searchable designation. They also get a ribbon in the search listings anywhere they are displayed. This special designation will help you stand out from the crowd, and sell more games.

Promoting on Social Networks

The Game Crafter has lots of followers on its various social networks. You can spend 10,000 crafter points to do a one time promotion to our followers on each of them.
