The big issue to me is that the payment processors have proven they're willing to pressure websites into censoring content that they deem 'too risky', and the sites that rely on them are basically forced to comply – so it's not only about what they do and don't allow now, but what they might decide is too risky in the future, e.g. games with LGBTQ+ content, or horror games.

Regarding the rules in the 'we can't allow' section, this is always something that I'm open to discussing. Is there anything in particular from that list that you think is overbearing or unreasonable?

I agree it's going to get tricky. I'm also in a region that enforces age verification, so I'll have to use a VPN to access my own platform!

It's a difficult trade off between privacy and ease of access. I want to make it as easy as possible for people to use the platform, but I don't feel right about being complicit in asking users to upload a photo of their ID to a private company somewhere in the US.

Blocking regions that require it definitely isn't the final solution, and it's something I'll continue to search for a better solution to that doesn't compromise on privacy. But at least for now, it's looking like using a VPN is the safest bet.

We're building https://altgames.io/, an alternative game marketplace for people who have been affected by the recent censorship. Feel free to send me a DM if you're interested, I'd love to chat.

Since we started late, we didn't have time to playtest, so there are a few known issues/bugs:

• Trony lies! His fight should say social, not smarts.
  
• You can walk outside of the map.
• There's no way to restart from the win/lose screens.

That's awesome, thanks for posting!

Thanks dastan, I appreciate it!

Thanks a lot man!

Just wanted to say I've been watching your series and it's inspired me to enter the 7DRL challenge as well.  Glad there's a good active YouTuber in the PICO-8 community!

Ever wanted to know what it would be like to date cats?  No?  Well, that's a shame - because now you can!  With our all new game, Cat Dating Simulator.  Created by a team of 2 in a couple of days, this game will allow you to live out your wildest feline fantasies.

Check it out here!

But don't worry - this game is entirely "family friendly PG clean".

In all seriousness, my brother and I created this more as a learning experience than anything - but we decided to share it with the internet, because why not.  We hope anyone who gives it a try gets a laugh out of it.

Cheers,

Felix and Max Packard.
