itch.io

It looks fantastic.

I needed some of this in my life. :)

Any chance of a Linux build?

Keep up the good work

It's a cool idea.

Is there any chance of a Linux build? I could not get it running on wine. A web build would be perfect.

It made me remember the old AGI chat, which I found is still active on sarien.net. It is a little cumbersome, being combined with the games themselves, where you are not likely to run into anyone else.

Three more gems you've probably not heard of posted recently:

Midnight Saturn

Liha

Exemplar

As you may know, the site also covers videos and other content. Here's one posted some time ago that I found very interesting:

Make Your Indie Game Go Viral

You would have needed all your creativity to come up with a more hated protagonist.

Some recent additions to the site:

Tiny Dungeon

The War of the Worlds

The VHS Paradise

Jellyfish Egg

The Last Notification

The Expedition

Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Double Park your Spaceship

The Tower Master's Treasure Hoard

UNGA needs MUMBA

Your games are fantastic

A sweet collection of games recently posted:

Last Fuse

Tina's Last Stand

This should be in a different format than GitHub. For example, free wiki software is available, including free hosted implementations.

There is also Indie Wall, with adult games only visible when signed in and the filter specifically enabled.

Have these payment processors even done anything, even as little as making a statement acknowledging the matter?

It seems the platforms chose to become pre-emptively spooked.

As has been hinted by other users, one very effective way to pursue this is to go after publishers of adult novels targeted to females, which are well-known to feature rape fantasies.

This should be pursued not from the payment processor angle mind you, but by asking these publishers publicly whether they support the rape of women through their published works. Let them then make a considered and nuanced argument in public in support of free speech in art. If the thirsty ones who buy these books by the cartful catch a hint that their favourite fantasy is being targeted by busybodies, they will make themselves heard in no uncertain terms.

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention that our site, Indie Wall, allows listing of adult content. 

Users must be logged in to view it and have it checked as a category they want to see. Good idea, right?

I would expect the usual philosophy of letting the users deal with it.

Stay frosty, brother.

Being able to list NSFW content is what gives itch.io an edge over Steam, where Steam otherwise utterly dominates almost every indie games marketplace.

Without that, what would set itch apart is DRM-free content, where they have to compete with GOG. All that's left then is a low barrier for entry, which let's be honest, is a benefit offset by tons of spam content.

The itch.io management will have to take great care of a nuanced approach to not have this site be driven into obscurity. 

Do they care enough to accomplish this?

Here are some of the games that have been posted recently:

Minerva Labyrinth

Unfair Square

Once, There Wasn't a Fence

Dumpling

Loto the Avatar

BioMech

Metal Garden

The Drifter

It Returned to the Desert

Liminal Leap: A Descent into the Unfamiliar

Liminal Leap: Episode Two Neon Wasteland

Neon Wasteland

Find my e-mail address on the site in my profile. Let's talk.

It said tutamali.com yesterday, that is the one that does not exist.

Cool, it looks like you also spent your points. Some users are used to other sites and don't do that.

I like your strategy of making the Windows version free.

They do serve as a sorting factor, however to prevent the case of most sites that promote what is already popular, new content is more important on the front page. 

The points are also a reward for engagement on the site. Most people post their games and move on, but even just logging in to the site semi-regularly will result in more points for the user. Rating and commenting (especially commenting) the content of others' gives the most points.

Is that correct? The domain name does not seem to exist.

Good looking out. I have never liked Discord since I heard years ago that they engage in censorship.

I have created an account and a channel for our site.

That's okay. 

I'll try to check in on his site every now and then.

How about an e-mail? My address can be found on our site.

Sweet! Thank you.

Thank you, that is exactly the kind of content I am looking for.

It is a shame about that site design, it is not possible to link to individual articles that I can see.

I would offer to host his reviews, if I could contact him. Could you send me his email address? Mine can be found on our site.

Right, but if you search for sites that cover indie, all it can show you are the usual suspects with their sterile reviews of big studio games.

So one good way is asking the community which ones they have encountered.

That is good advice.

Those are some good links there, got any more? I haven't had much luck finding sites that post text reviews of real indie games. I have found a number of real indie blogs that post reviews of big releases, but even those are difficult to find. I will look into a genre-specific search, like you suggested.

I'd love for websites like itchio to do more to help give a platform for people who cover their games

That would have been fantastic.

"indie" or "true indie" is not the point here

It is.

Why select a game that does not even have comments or ratings on the platform it was released?

It is just my opinion, but I think you should be a lot nicer to these guys. What you describe makes up probably more than 96% of your site's content. Though they never get seen, they are the reason people come here.

One thing that I found rare on the internet are sites dedicated to providing reviews for true indie games, that is games developed by a truly small team or even single developers.

Do you know of any? 

So far all that I can find are sites that feature and review the same games that major publications already covered, and these are most often games from comparatively large studios that like to call themselves indie.

This is great, sites like this are much needed in the community.

Please consider posting links to your updates and reviews to Indie Wall.

Wouldn't that be nice.

I think there would be no shortage of attendees and exhibitioners.

Excellent, thank you

Damn, these look so cool.

I basically have no interest in modern FPSs, but these oldschool ones have a magnetic pull.

Just love that title image for KillWill too, the angular nature of it. Was that done by hand?

Cool games you probably haven't heard of yet:

Chronizer

Tessera Demo

Metalabion

The Caveman

PLOY
