I understand, man, and I'm really sorry. But the owner of Itch said that eventually they would find a way around this, so it's a temporary situation. I hope you understand... It wasn't planned.

Some time ago, Itch shadowbanned the +18 games due to pressure from payment processors. They soon allowed the fully free versions to be listed again, man.

That is, I had to temporarily remove the paid versions until they resolve this. Otherwise, the game will be shadowbanned again if I make it available.

Come on, let's put this in perspective... In Itch's current system, you can rate games without commenting. This doesn't help at all. It allows rating spamming without the player even needing to explain the reason for their rating.

That is, if there are reasons at all, and it's not just a grumpy player saying "I didn't like the content, 1 star."

For Christ's sake, guys. This isn't serious... It's amateurish for an old site like this.

So seriously, my deep desire is, in order to rate a game, the players needing to leave a full comment on WHAT ARE THE REASONS for the good or bad rating.

It might be a pain to moderate thousands of comments, but it's simply unfair to the devs to leave them vulnerable to this kind of thing due to poor/limited moderation.

In this case, I tried to post a way to access the cheaty and gallery versions again, but I discovered you'd need to purchase them again. Itch recognizes them as separate versions. So, I decided to hide them for now. I haven't found a solution yet.

Try to download here, man. Tried to find a way to solve it...

Hey man. If I make the paid versions available, the game will be shadowbanned from Itch's search and display functions. From what Leafo said, this will only be displayed if it's completely free. In other words, I can't offer paid versions. So, sorry, my hands are tied for now, until they offer a solution.

Post-battle events removed due lore reasons, and to focus more in the main girls, man.

It's like I said, from what I understood from Leafo, if you access your game library here, you have access to the Cheaty or Gallery version, if you purchased it before.

If you've already purchased the Cheaty and Gallery versions before, this is in your game library here, man.

Maybe, I think so. Let's wait...

Not a bug. It was a bit modified. You need to get into order, meeting Arya at the Main Hall, follow to complete Protecting Skystone, and then, Arya will send you a letter to rebuild Sincely Mines. Check our wiki, man. https://loveandcorruption.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

Try now again, man.

Fixed already. That was my fault, sorry

Yes, the cheaty version is paid.

Bug fixed already, man. I sent the fix to our Discord, if you would like me to fix your save too. https://discord.com/invite/CXYyXn9RwT

Astana storyline is ready for 0.3.13, and Radasha is a possibility, yes.

Man, we have tips for Android on our main page, and on our Discord. I can help our players much better there, if you would like. https://discord.com/invite/CXYyXn9RwT

If you have maximum lust, you will automatically lose fights.

I understand you're a mod and all, man. I respect your role here. But let's go...

1. You work thousands of hours for two years to create a game, monthly updates, a lot of spending with art assets, self-promotion on different sites, maintain a beautiful page.

2. You get good results, and you are satisfied with it.

3. A year later, the admin decides that you don't deserve the result you have and takes it away from you because others need attention.

Now, my artist and I were materially harmed by this, a concrete thing. Me and many other devs... And yes, unfairly. I just ask for a little empathy from you, and pls try to understand the side of the people who are suffering from the staff's poor decisions.

You deny a fact that is simply evident in front of you, Itch is actively sabotaging us and our numbers have plummeted with the new algorithm. I don't know if you're just trying to troll or something, but anyway... Sorry but this isn't going anywhere

Ohh, I failed to explain this point, I've been doing monthly updates since the beggining. The spikes you see are my advertising on other sites, not just Itch promotion.

In fact, self-promotion helps a little, but still, 90% of my traffic comes from Itch, as well as all the other devs who are suffering from the algorithm change.

Sorry, man. I press on saying, it's kind of obvious... My numbers were stable, and so I lost almost 70% of my traffic overnight. There's not much to say, you sound like you're trying to tell me the sky isn't blue, that the grass is not green, and that Itch isn't actively trying to sabotage us.

Again, I already did. And I do this regularly... For something like 2 years. Huge investment in art, self-promotion on different sites/forums, maintaining a beautiful page, monthly updates, hard work every day to maintain engagement.

It's not selfish to say that hard work needs to be rewarded, it's justice. Justice means giving everyone what is theirs, that is, what you worked hard to deserve.

If everything I said doesn't imply visibility, what would I do? Just sit on my ass in the chair and do nothing? I think the concepts in Itch were quite distorted after this huge mess.

I am very attached to the issue of meritocracy, so take that into account with my words.

Wrong. These numbers have been a constant for about a year, not a "random boost". I invested a lot in art, updated my page, thumb, and I've been advertising constantly and regularly since then. The algorithm literally threw me down, there is no excuse for that.

Be careful saying things like that to devs, you can end offending them. Many work very hard to get what they have. I've always learned that we should respect the hard work of others, never devalue it as "random boosts".

Me too. I don't need to say much. My page is dead now... Basically, all the work I did to improve the page, develop and advertising the game was for nothing, it seems.

Sorry... I missed the question. Is the bug still happening? If so, try sending your save, I can do it for you. - https://discord.com/invite/CXYyXn9RwT

Android user?

Guys, the game was not designed for android, sorry. I adapted the UI to be flexible, and this helps it work on mobile, especially with the help of Joiplay. However, this may still have problems...

Just to close this topic, the game became accessible in the latest updates. Everything should be fixed now.

Is this still happening? If possible, send your save on Discord, and specify a little more, pls...

Just checking, this one is fixed in recent versions, I believe.

Sorry for the late response, man. Basically, AI can be an incredible way to get references... Maybe better than searching on Pinterest.

I'm sorry, man. In L&C, this will not happen. We will have future games, however...

If you can, please come to our Discord and send your save. That's where I always fix bugs. https://discord.gg/loveandcorruption

Check the mission requirements, man. These things happen after specific story missions. https://love-and-corruption.fandom.com/wiki/Farmers_fall

Not really. All artwork in the game is done by our artist

Check here, man. https://love-and-corruption.fandom.com/wiki/Syrin 

I mean, my game was among the most popular among text games until two hours ago, but now it has disappeared from all tags... I'm worried, guys. I rely on the money coming in from Itch to pay for my art assets.

Is this normal to happen?

Forcing a hostile encounter is not part of the game, man. Sorry.
