Thanks for the flag, that seemed sus so I did some digging, good news is it's actually benign. Which is good because I'm really enjoying this game, horniness aside I think the card game mechanics work really well.
One is a dynamic code list for codes that can be claimed in game. Some of the stuff is meant to be patreon only so I won't post that link to not undermine the dev's income or intent.
The second, https://pastebin.com/raw/CEZGneFP, is a bit more interesting - it seems to serve as a way for the dev to dynamically switch buttons on and off in the UI when they go live on twitch etc, as an easy notification for dev streams i'm assuming so we can hop in. I'm guessing the dev has something they trigger on their end that swaps out the value at that url. It looks to see if the text is 't', 'twt', 'p', or 'd', for twitch, twitter, picarto and discord.
But yeah - Pengi, using pastebin for this might come across as suspicious, i could see it getting flagged by monitoring software even if it's a legit use. Github is a good place for storing this sort of thing when it needs versioning (like the codes maybe) and then you can refer to the RAW file url directly. The status thing is a bit harder since it's ephemeral and needs no versioning, but there's free php website hosts out there and you can also get a free .cf domain name, once all linked up you could have something like www.arcanepengi.cf/status to host the '-,t,p,d,twt' file. You could also just have a github.io site - no PHP, but no dns either and github.io is a relatively trusted domain.
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, and thanks for not posting the codes 🙏 I'll consider using a different service for future updates/games that I work on. I'm still fairly new to network coding so Pastebin was the only solution I thought up. I do have arcanepengi.com domain, so I could do some research on how to set that up properly. Thanks for discovering this!
Cool stuff, i did try my best to dig to what info was it querying about (like suffering through w??????rk, obviously didn't get anything out of it, the connection is HTTPS after all), but i'm happy to see that it wasn't anything bad at the end, love what you do as well Pengi, be more careful next time!
That's a good question! The patron version is updated based on the month you're supporting. You will need to still be a patron when the next version comes out, but you can drop down to the $10 version and your $25 save data will carry over. Alternatively, you can wait until the Steam version is released later this year and it will update automatically without needing the subscription. I hope that answered your question! 🙏
Sorry about the problems, I'll look into the issues. Thanks for sharing your experience! I believe there might be an issue with loading the game Scene, which I'm planning on completely redoing in a future version 🙏 Could you tell me which device you're using to play on?
i am on mobile and when i play the game it just keep on the loading screen a.k.a starting screen and it crash few minutes... my phone can download it, but i can't play it
I'm working on optimizations for lower-end devices. I'm sorry you weren't able to play it just yet. Give me a bit more time and I'll make it playable on your device.
The next update will feature one of the Patreon characters to try out. Other features may arrive later on. I'm still deciding how much will be for free and what will be in the full paid version.
Sorry about that, I believe that is a bug in the Web version only. I'm currently working on a fix for this bug to ensure that it works as soon as this next update is ready. Thanks for sharing your browser and game version, this info helps me 🙏
everytime i start the game, all the characters are locked and i cant do anything, is it because im running the online version instead of downloading it
Steam is planned, but not until the game is essentially complete. May take a little while since I'm working on the game solo, in addition to a few upcoming projects including a Visual Novel, an Arcade-style Carwash game (suds and swimsuits galore), and eventually a fighting game involving strip mechanics 👀
I'm not too sure about a Mac version yet since I'm unable to test it myself. I will try to release a Mac version for the next upcoming Stella Demo, which should be out around October!
Hey, could you be kind enough to do everything possible to adapt the game to an Alcatel 1B?, since it won't let me install the game and it's not because of space. other than that Arc's BJ training is good 21 out of 10 stars
I'll do what I can to keep optimizing the game for mobile 💪 Tbh it doesn't even run on my own phone, so I'd also like to play it on mobile xD Check back in a little bit for the next few updates. I'll research optimization the best I can
Is access to the Patreon version a one time pay or is it still monthly by Patreon? Like for example if I bought access to the full version and next month you release a new version would I have to pay again?
It currently runs on a subscription until the full version is released. It's set at a reduced price on Patreon to reflect the unfinished nature of the game.
Not sure if you addressed this already, but the game doesn't appear to work on 64-bit exclusive devices (ie. Pixel 7). Do you have any plans on trying to make it work on future devices?

Hello, I have a question about the $25 patreon membership.
If I pay that and got the current full version of the game, I still need to pay again to get the next version if my membership expire?
(sorry for the bad english xD)
That's a good question! The patron version is updated based on the month you're supporting. You will need to still be a patron when the next version comes out, but you can drop down to the $10 version and your $25 save data will carry over.

I think your patreon and twitter is gone?

Sorry for the confusion, I've moved my accounts to ArcanePengi. Twitter is now @ArcanePengi and Patreon is Patreon.com/ArcanePengi ✌

Sorry about the problems, I'll look into the issues. Thanks for sharing your experience! I believe there might be an issue with loading the game Scene, which I'm planning on completely redoing in a future version 🙏 Could you tell me which device you're using to play on?
Samsung galaxy a12
ITS TIME TO DU- DU- DU- DU DU DUEL!
Yugi, you have too much ping
Will it someday be playable on Steam?
Yes, I'm planning for a Steam release of the finished game for late 2024
Noice
i cant play it though the itch intilastion
I'll have to take it down for now, feel free to use the EXE or APK versions for now until I get it figured out
i am on mobile and when i play the game it just keep on the loading screen a.k.a starting screen and it crash few minutes... my phone can download it, but i can't play it

wow, thats great. ur the best developer that send so much efford to make game for us. <3 keep going, u doing great but don't work too hard!
will you add the stuff in the patreon version to the free version over time?
The next update will feature one of the Patreon characters to try out. Other features may arrive later on. I'm still deciding how much will be for free and what will be in the full paid version.
My phone can't handle the animation when i play how 😭
Really sorry about that, I'm still working on getting the game working on low-end devices 🙏
Using edge and started HTML version and selected start game. Arc is not clickable and is greyed out. Clicking on swap view it shows that she's locked.
Sorry about that, I believe that is a bug in the Web version only. I'm currently working on a fix for this bug to ensure that it works as soon as this next update is ready. Thanks for sharing your browser and game version, this info helps me 🙏

Oh no! I think that's a bug. I'll fix it up really soon, sorry for the inconvenience!
Do you ever plan on making a steam version? and if so, do you have an estimated date?
love this game and am looking forward to it <3

how soon can we look forward to a MAC version?
