Hii so i got this error/message after recently trying to play the game out of bore, i then tried to download the zip file and build it on electron off of that but i got this message again, mind helping?

I am assuming this is some sort of piracy protection? If so, will you ever make an electron/anything else build that would allow players to play the game offline on multiple systems, or at least on MacOS and/or Windows??

I had added an anti-piracy message, but it didn’t work properly :\ it even affected the version here on the itch.io page, I hadn’t noticed that until now :\ Wow that was not good.

Ok I’ve removed the piracy protection altogether and I’ve uploaded a new v1.1, so it should be fixed now.

And also, an electron/offline build for Windows and MacOS sounds like a good idea 👍 I will look into that when I have the time.

thanks for consideration! I’m looking forward to that. Also, what do you need a drm for, when your game is free, and you’re not using any kind of software that would check for ownership of licenses for the game?

Some websites like Y8 games, vseigru etc. scrape games from itch io and straight up pirate HTML5 games on their websites.

So the (obfuscated) anti-piracy function checked whether the host server url contains certain whitelisted strings, like “itch io” “bdrgames” etc. However it seems like Y8 games was able to remove it somehow 😤🤷‍♂️
