Well until they ban porn with the bill that's currently making its way into law.

I mean its not that they're taking down websites, but hitting people with big ass (10M+) fines. Though how they expect to apply that to people outside of the UK I don't know. I don't think they've actually hit anyone with a fine yet. We'll see how it turns. Like, in my opinion it is crazy that they're trying to police people who live outside of the UK but its a bill that is a BIG overreach of government surveillance and censorship.

Unfortunately at this point then you're at risk to the UK's Online Safety act if they happen across your website since there's no carve out for small companies/individuals, even if you're based in a completely different country. I saw the Urban Dead took themselves down because of it. (though it has UGC so that might be part of why)

The issue is that even if/when an alternative pops up, they too are beholden to payment processors. So the second they get big enough to get noticed, well the same thing that happened to itch will happen to them. The issue is without payment processors EVERYONE on itch would have been out of the job so its a lose and lose a little less scenario. So we need to continue holding up the pressure until payment processors back down.

I've seen people anecdotally mention that queer games are being impacted more by the changes. And the types to go around mass reporting games are also the types to intentionally seek out more LGBTQ+ themed games to report, so while the rules aren't intentionally targeted towards queer games, it puts them under more of a threat. Since mass reports are usually enough to get things taken down, even if no rules are actually broken.

Thanks!! Also, I was wondering if you're planning on creating character model bases in the future? (ie for easier to edit character, or character customization)

Really cute, and great animations! Would it be possible for you to upload lower resolution versions of this and grasslands? I'm not able to properly import it into aseprite for editing. ( it shows up with every one pixel displaying as 9)
