it's definitely for men who can't catch girls that's for sure. Jeez gotta get out and have a dip not hid behind a screen. No wonder they can't find any

Blender

I'll add this game was finished early 2023 with a reduced number of planned features due to some scripting bugs

I'll add the this game was updated to version 2 in November 2023 after this jams conclusion 

EA are absolute scum when it comes to that sort of thing. I heard about the secure rom issues with a lot of games 

I haven't seen that much open source but it's always a good thing. Right to repair is a must. Not to mention the knowledge and skills you learn in the process.

It's not sustainable. Really puts people in the upgrade and dump ewaste mind set. I got a mate he buys a new PC every 12 months top of the range dunno how he does it. Has a 3080 last year 4090 this year. Just seems stupid 

At this stage I am incredibly sceptical of services like Steam due to the fact they have games in the library they no longer work on Windows 10. The minimum requirements are stated on the site for operating systems that can't even access steam. I know when you try download a 32bit Mac game it has an error stating you need a 32bit launcher client. The last 32bit supported system was 10.14 (Mojave) from late 2018. Steam has already dropped support for this system in February giving the operating system less than 5 and half years of lifespan. Not to mention in the not too distant future they will drop windows 10 support so that renders half the library useless. An example of this is 'Medieval Total War 1' on Steam it doesn't run well past windows XP yet it's still available on steam albeit with scathing bug reports and compatibility reviews. Lots of thumbs down reviews. I've actually uploaded a workaround patch here on itch.io to fix the broken steam version. It's practically a crime in my eyes. I'm a plumber by trade and I cant just click my fingers and decide the warranty on my workmanship is void because it suits me. I can't bend the rules and regulations to suit my agenda or I'll have my licence revoked. It's no different to buying a car that self destructs a after 5 or 10 years. It's ridiculous 

It begins around 2006ish

Examples of physical games I have that are now broken.

Battlefield 2042 won't accept registration because servers shut. Completely unplayable without hacking work arounds

Bioshock 1 windows live. Shutdown disc doesn't work not redeemable for steam key. Completely unplayable 

Dragon Age 2 physical disc is tied to Origin account. Non transferable to another computer. Origin store offline. 1 time registration completely unplayable 

Morrowind Ubisoft re-release  GOTY. Requires steam key but no longer runs on specified systems due to client shutdown. Effectively destroys the game when the original release still works fine.

Might & Magic X. Ubisoft Uplay servers shut. Unable to launch game. Although I heard this was rectified but it doesn't support operating systems the game was made for.

Rome Total war Mac Port. As an honourable mention game still runs but online patches at Feral interactive is shutdown.

Exactly. I've never pirated anything but can see why people do it now.

Indies unite

Maybe a message on the page and in the game itself stating the intentions 

Sounds like people will be sceptical of it being an actual scam 

Forums, discord, Facebook 

YouTube is hit and miss the rest a guaranteed to bring attention to your work

Itch.io is awesome I've found some really cool games here with literally no coverage outside of this site. It's a shame!

Keep advertising. You will get heaps eventually try forums

Try on a computer 

thanks I wasn't talking bout the OP I was meaning the ones behind all this eroticism fetish stuff. 14 ain't young. It's young enough to legally work full time 40+ hours. Not as if they are a child 

That's it push on. Not much time for playing and making games at the moment unfortunately. 

Life's busy very busy

What counts as gore. 

Extension violence and  blood. Severed limbs, torture etc. Incidents unnatural resulting in death or injury.

Takes a bit of grinding thanks 

Keep following my friends. All my content is free

Hate it when people just go silent 

Escape room stuff probably unity or something 

Looks good so far!

Check my pages there is heaps of stuff if you are interested 

This looks awesome I'll try it out in DOSBOX. Love these old Dungeon crawlers.

Very cool game. Well done. Reminds me of Arx Fatalis

Check my page 

Cool game love the art style. Had fun with it!

Great work anyway looks awesome 

It was this battle of Agincourt game. Had Mac Linux and windows selected as it's platforms. I downloaded and only found an exe in the folder not the other 2 platforms

Solid breakdown there my friend 

A 68030? Does that mean it runs on old Macintosh machines?

I've never used the itch app. Don't forget there are also games that would be downloaded here on a computer and exported to other systems via USB/discs etc.

I know of a couple games here that have been played on a 486 from the early 90s 

There is also going to be the issue of lack of compatibility etc as tech moves on and some of the earlier games on here become harder to run.
