Ah, damn. I can still download but its because I already own it. Purchases are disabled I guess.

Edit: apparently the dev erased their internet presence a while back. The game was probably pulled from sale before the visa/mastercard stuff if I had to guess.

Oh, thats Poke Abby.

Are you guys considering alternate payment methods going forward or maybe a system where devs can choose which payment processors are allowed?

If the issue is that mastercard and visa don't like doing transactions for certain kinds of content, wouldn't giving devs the ability to disallow those specfic payment processors satisfy their new rules?

Is there any way to take legal action against Collective Shout for launching this campaign and damaging the livelihoods of indie devs? This seems like exact kind of situation we'd want a class action suit for.

Appreciate you actually going around and posting information about what's going on. A lot of people are rightfully pissed off at payment processors and activists deciding what we can and cant spend money on.

if theh stand their ground, they would permanently lose their payment processing. Most people arent gonna switch to crypto, so standing their ground would be financial suicide. This is why Mastercard and Visa are so effective at censoring thing. They control the flow of almost all money.

I own more games than I care to admit. What's the game called. I can check my library for the link.

Most NSFW games still exist on Itch. They just dont appear in searches.

there was also an earlier bill in 2023 that was introduced and never went anywhere.

You're right about the issue being bipartisan

I'm normally not a crypto shill, but it might be worth investing into a small amount of relatively stable crypto specifically to have some way to do transactions when Visa and Mastercard are doing this shit.

Theres not a hugr amount of card providers out there. Most of them use Visa or Mastercard infrastructure.

I've been particularly mad about payment processors doing this shit for ages now and nobody really listened until it finally happened.

A while back, Toffer Team did a crowdfunding campaing for their Lip Lewd Idol visual novel series. They racked up 23k and PayPal froze the account and stole all their crowdfunding money.

I said even back then that this kind of behavior was an attempt to normalize censorship and now its happening. I'm just as furious about whats happening as you are, if not more so.

Visa and Mastercard are a duopoly that actively collude with eachother and I can't for the life of me understand why they havent been forcefully broken up by the government.

I'm not american, but if you are, contact your representatives. Theres a bill in the US right now being worked on specifically to make it illegal for Visa and Mastercard to decide what you do with your money.

To everyone wondering what's going on, Visa and Mastercard threatened to end service with both Steam and Itch.io over adult content that is generally speaking legal.  Basically, our rights are being trampled on by payment processors.

Quest version softlocks on the dishes dare. Theres one plate that just wont get 100 percent clean no matter what you do.

It'd be nice if there more interactable items in the game too tbh. I'll admit that I spent less time focusing on the h content and more time balancing fruit inside of Aria's janky colliders. My record is 5.

Ngl, I sideloaded this onto my Quest 3, and its great. You can totally install normal android apps and just play them on a gigantic curved display that only you can see. I know thats not the intentional way to play this, but it works really damn well lol.

Very nice. The quest version could use a bit of work on the camera controls though. it doesnt play nicely with the quests reset position feature at all.

Also, given the nsfw nature of the game, it might be advisable to include a feature to disable one of the player's arms. The tracking goes nuts if you intend to do unspeakable things while playing.

I tried this on Android 13 using kernel 4.14 and Android 14 using kernel 5.15.

Both times there was an invalid apk error.

I figured it out. You really gotta spec into the number of units you can summon. Normal upgrades alone won't get you far.

I threw some money at vol 1 a while back. Tbh I haven't played it yet.

Regardless, I ended up backing the project on indiegogo. Paypal is constantly going after other creators and I'm livid about it. It is beyond messed up that a payment processor can decide how we spend our money, as well as arbitrarily steal from creators, and by extension customers.

It happened to another creator. Eric July is making a superhero comic series that doesn't play into either side of politics, and paypal froze like 1.3 million dollars. Thankfully the guy used multiple processors, but paypal is going way too far.

I've spent a lot more time with this game than I thought I would. This is a pretty solid game all around.

I noticed a couple of issues pretty quickly.

Immediately, the first thing i noticed is that the screen resolution absolutely tiny; it kinda makes the game virtually unplayable. Using PlayerPrefs you could save a series of resolutions and then scale the game window in code, or just re-enable the unity game launcher with some preset resolutions.

On a similar note, elements of your UI aren't correctly anchored to the canvas. The text boxes do not scale with screen size, causing them to appear mostly off screen, and various other UI elements are either poorly scaled or misaligned. Unity UI anchoring can be a bit finicky, but you should be able to fix this by making sure your canvas is set to scale with screen resolution, and then setting the width / height ratio to 0.5. After that, just make sure  each rect transform is anchored and/or stretching. Using a panel set to stretch in all directions can be also be helpful when dealing with UI.

Finally, it seems that audio occasionally stutters, though this could just C# garbage collection getting in the way of things.

Anyways, I look forward to playing this once it gets fixed up, and I hope some of the tips I threw in help you out with that.

I was holding out on buying this game until the android version releases, but after looking into the whole paypal thing, I figured I'd throw 10 dollars at this.

I'll never understand what the deal is with the whole "moral crusade" nonsense that is happening with nearly every avenue of commerce these days. How dare you guys make games featuring spicy drawings that in no way exploits real people.

What a time to be alive.

This game has a lot going for it; the CGs and portraits are all great, and the management simulation gameplay loop makes for an engaging experience. Unfortunately, as with most games I've played from this dev, the English translation borders on being nonsensical, and the soundtrack is less than stellar.

I don't know if the dev has any intentions of updating their older games, but just from looking at the JSON containing all the dialog, it really wouldn't cost all that much to get this game professionally translated.

 I believe the quality of Broke Girl would be greatly elevated by a proper translation.

I got this on steam ages ago, and I got to say, this is a sparkling gem among a sea of shitty hentai puzzle games. Kudos to you guys.

I know this is kinda old but MediBang is fairly well known for their localization work for both games and manga. They're about as legit as it gets, in case you were still concerned.

Decent game, but extremely short.
