Hey everyone, Blam here. I just wanted to take a moment to talk about something important with everyone here.
As most of you may not know, Itch.io just informed us adult video game creators that our games are basically being shadownbanned on the platform. Shadowbanning, in this sense, basically hides our games from being searched up, on itch. This basically kills any chance of our game growing and getting new fans on the platform. Some people have gotten their games taken down but from my knowledge, my games are just black listed/shadow-banned.
You can still click my profile link to see all of my games- Blam - itch.io. But again, as I said, games are being fully taken down per some new rules. I have no idea what those rules are and what violates them, so I'm moving like I'm gonna get booted off of itch soon. If you are someone who enjoys my games and wants to continue seeing my games, I heavily suggest you follow this Patreon. I'll always be here posting the latest until Patreon boots me off.
Now...
Some of you may be asking why this is all suddenly happening. Well, if you all know the whole controversy that's been in the news articles the last few months, it's about an adult game that has a lot of taboo concepts- like inc*st- sexual a**ault- r*pe I think- I don't know- it's a lot. But because of that, people have been pushing to get it banned from multiple sites like Steam and itch. After that, a magnifying glass has been put on the rest of the adult game community and the topics they have in their games. Emails to payment processors basically forced Itch.io's hand to look at each NSFW game closely to see what violates which set of rules. Now that's led to all adult games being shadow banned and some being actually banned/deleted.
Now, I have a bit of hope because I think they'll be reviewing each game and its content case-by-case, which means I can probably get un-shadowbanned and have my games public-facing again. But for the time being, things will proceed as normal. Patron updates will be through Google Drive. I may start releasing the public updates through Google Drive as well- I hope it doesn't crash anything but we'll see.
If you know someone who likes our games, then please shoot em the Patreon link. Please and tank chu.
Alright, that's all. Patrons, be on the lookout for sneak peeks and updates. If you're a free member, you can always do a free trial of a membership.
TLDR: Game updates will be released on Patreon for now. Sub to Patreon.
Good day and god bless ❤️.
