TL;DR: Nothing really changes. Development will continue and I have no plans for leaving itch.

The longer version: Yesterday, Sinathir has been delisted from itch.io. Ultimately, this doesn’t really mean anything for me. Sinathir is free, I don’t have patreon or anything like that and the game wasn’t popular before anyway.

I’m quite angry about all of this, but mainly because of the lack of communication. I received no message, no e-mail, nothing. That’s what makes me angry the most. The game is SFW in pretty much every regard. There is no blood, no sexual content of any kind. The themes are questionable, the use of drugs and violence againts your main character might be the problem, but who knows. Itch is really, really bad with communicating. For example, they made it mandatory for developers to disclose if their game used AI in any way. There was no e-mail, no message, nothing. They made one post on the main forum about it and expected everyone to read it. Ordering uploads broke few years ago and it’s still not fixed. Back then, your screen scrolled up when you ordered something up. Now it doesn’t for some reason.

Ultimately, Sinathir being de-listed doesn’t matter. It shows up in google and other search engines, there are some videos about it and reddit posts and people can still find it that way. I will continue working on it like nothing happened. I need itch to do two things. Be a place where I can upload the game and give a place for me and the fans to communicate. That’s still the case.

Anyway, since the game is less visible now and you might not be able to find it later, you should probably bookmark this site. As always, report any bugs you find, suggests anything you think might fit the game and recommend the game to people you think might enjoy it. Have a good day everyone.

Hi! This whole situation is really unfortunate… it’s such a shame you have to deal with these kinds of conditions. Do we even have any alternative platforms for publishing? Maybe the issue has to do with how the main heroine is portrayed, and that’s what caught their attention.

I did a quick check and I didn’t really find any alternative platforms with large userbase. Except steam and gog ofcourse.

But as I said, it doesn’t really affect me or the game. If I wanted, I could make posts on reddit and other gaming forums to direct people here but honestly, there’s really not much of a point to do that. I’m working on the game because I want it to exist. Not because I want to be famous or rich. There are few people that come here and post semi-often and new people also get here from time to time when they search for specific games on google or youtube, so I’m not really developing the game in complete vacuum. Once I feel the game is good enough, I will start “marketing” it a little more but that’s still years away.

this is something you should bring up directly with itch

while the game does discuss some drug use, plenty of other games do it at a much higher degree and are fine. it's in my mind a completely SFW game that should be listed without any issue on anyone's part.

i don't think the mod team plays many (if any) games so they might just eye-ball the games or judge them by the cover. if you complain about i reckon you'd be re-listed just fine

Yeah. No harm in trying that. Thanks.
