Hi all,

Have you seen this latest update from Itch?

https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content

The TL;DR is that Itch, like Steam before it, will be banning most NSFW content starting... well, right now. All games have already been de-indexed (read: hidden from search), and they're in the process of reviewing each NSFW game to see if it complies with Mastercard's TOS. And trust me, those TOS go quite a bit further than you may be initially lead to believe.

Chances are, since this is a fetish game, it will get struck. So if you haven't downloaded your copy yet... I can see some folks have paid but not yet downloaded, so do that now.

Hell, I don't even know if I'll be able to withdraw my funds before the ban comes if it is on its way. It will likely all get refunded to you guys like Patreon but the truth is - I don't know. I have a 7 day wait before the payment is processed and then a 10-14 day wait for the payout to be approved (I do it this way because of VAT compliance in my country) so I've only been paid out about 10% of all the sales so far.

We'll just have to... wait and see. I don't know where else to take this game. Google Drive is a bit too sensitive to piracy for my liking and platforms that don't handle VAT on my behalf turn into an admin hassle once I cross a certain income treshold.

Regardless of what happens, I want to thank you all for your enthusiasm. The demo has crossed 2k downloads and the game is/was approaching 50 purchases. Not bad for a first time indie.
