Affiliate Program Participation

Tangerine Ghost may participate in affiliate marketing programs offered by various companies and platforms relevant to game development. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant. This comes at no additional cost to you and helps support our ability to provide free content and resources.

Commission-Based Link Explanations

Links that may generate affiliate commissions include:

• • Software and tools we recommend for game development
• • Educational resources and courses related to game design
• • Asset stores and marketplaces for game development resources
• • Hosting services and technical infrastructure providers

We clearly identify affiliate links where possible and only recommend products or services we genuinely believe provide value to our audience.

Product Recommendation Policies

Our recommendations are based on our professional experience, research, and testing. While we may earn commissions from some recommendations, this does not influence whether we recommend a product or service. We prioritize providing honest assessments and only recommend tools and services that we believe can genuinely benefit game developers and our clients.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain transparency about all financial relationships. When an affiliate relationship exists for a product or service mentioned on our website, we disclose this relationship. The commission we receive from affiliate sales helps support our operations, content creation, and the provision of free resources to the game development community.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, Tangerine Ghost may publish sponsored content or paid promotional material. All sponsored content is clearly identified as such with labels including "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar disclosure language. This ensures you can easily distinguish between organic content and paid promotions.

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

Our sponsored content labeling practices include:

• • Clear disclosure at the beginning of sponsored articles or blog posts
• • Visual indicators or badges identifying sponsored content
• • Transparent disclosure of the sponsoring company or brand
• • Honest representation of the sponsored relationship in all communications

Brand Partnership Disclosures

When we enter into brand partnerships or sponsored relationships, we carefully evaluate whether the partnership aligns with our values and serves the interests of our audience. We only partner with brands and companies that we believe offer genuine value to game developers and maintain high standards of quality.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Even in sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and integrity. Our opinions, assessments, and recommendations remain honest and based on our professional judgment. Sponsors do not dictate the content or conclusions of our articles, reviews, or recommendations. We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that conflict with our values or could mislead our audience.
