Ahem...
I'm sorry to bother asking a second time, but since you've been replying to pretty much every post here, I can only surmise that you missed my query...

I would sincerely appreciate your input on this, as you (dev) seemed to be operating under information beyond and contrary to what I could find, information that I would rather know than not...

Free games are also subject to the rules, as Mastercard and Visa doesn't want ANY of the "rule breaking" games on the website.

wait, theres a gallery? am i blind or was it added at some point?

Was added when i added the castle area~
any interaction gets added to the Gallery once you see it once.

The Fetishes menu having 2 options you can actually turn off really just sells me how much effort went into this from the word "go" lol.

...?

There are two sets of rules I've gone over already... site-wide rules for completely forbidden content, and payment processor content restrictions... the latter of which, Itch.io has official rules that define them not applying to free distributions... and, the latter of which, is the ones that you're talking about when you say "free games are also subject to [payment processor] rules"...

So... are you are claiming that payment processors have/are exerting power over free distributions on Itch.io... successfully...?
Are you really saying, that Itch.io is acting with hypocrisy, and are taking down free distributions as per payment processor regulations, despite Itch.io's official policy not to do so for non-sold works...?

Cause... that would sure be news to me... distressing news, that I'd really rather know, for sure, than not...

yes? thats why Every game, free or not was delisted. and while games like Celsius is Still banned, even though its free.

Games taht defied the payment provider are activally being attacked on itch, and even i had to put censoring and a band on my page just to be able to not be removed. while still being free.

That notice is listed as "46 days ago", and since the mass de-indexing was July 23rd, 46.7 days ago (+/- timezones)... I can only surmise that this takedown was part of the mass de-indexing, and not a result of itch.io conflicting their own official policy changes that have followed.

So... for free distributions to be actively being attacked, in this context... we'd be looking more for takedowns that happen after the de-indexing/re-indexing event, and after the official policy changes... which according to (

) might date such to 39 days ago.

And, something of note... a free distribution on itch.io for this context, doesn't simply mean there's no price tag, it also forbids users from donating upon download. The link above showcases this difference, and is something that developers have to opt into.

As for why that game is still banned, I can't speak for the developer nor for the game in question... but I was able to find a shred of testimony (

).
The thing is... I do not see the dev making any claims there or elsewhere that itch has acted outside of their official rulings, just that they were surprised and frustrated... and that kind of testimony would be rather present if it were indeed the case, I should think... so, from my perspective, it seems likely that the dev themself doesn't have further information on the matter themselves... it might even be that their work hasn't been reviewed yet, or maybe it was reviewed and found to be non-compliant with site-wide policy... but, like I said, I can't speak for them.

If you happen to be aware of any other projects that are still down since the de-indexing though, please do feel free to share, cause I can search around for developer comments and such from there.

This isn't super relevant, but... along my searches, I found an article that listed the total NSFW tag usage to 28,114... and a search now yielded 27,201... so, Celsius and the "old" version of Triple R from the same dev appear to be of those 900-ish that are currently down/de-indexed. (

Ignore my last reply if you already read it.

There are many games that got permanently banned despite being free
magnum stories is one, but they were able to get unbanned recently, as they got Bonked for "Incest" because a mod read the word incest in a dev diary, even though it was talking about "No Incest"

Both Leafo and Charlene said that in order to please the overlords, they need to make sure None of that content is available on the website, (on the discord) or they will Pull out, this is why many games got shut down recently. and why i have censoring.


They are just on Hyper-alert ban everyone mode right now, to prevent losing support of payment processors.
ONce things calm down, perhaps i will Uncensore things, we'll see, part of it is protest of the processors too, more eyes on the issue, the better chance of it being solved.

The uncensoring process isn't working for me. Putting the command into the debug menu doesn't appear to do anything, and I am not sure how to change the tailoring mode.

thats because they still havn't updated the actual files here.

they updated the uncensoring instructions, but not the files here, and i've already reported the topic to update.
but no word yet.

That helped, thank you.

There are bug spots on Android i would like to report.
Forest zone 1 (starting area)
- game kicks you out after at least a minute, I would note that the game isnt crashing but kicking me out
Forest zone 3 (first platforming section since house)
- when loading into the next area on the right, the game kicks you out, specifically at 93.33% for whatever reason.

when these kick outs occur the game starts to rapidly slow down, as if processing something, then kicks you from playing the game, but not closing the game. this seemingly happens without fail in the two areas I have noted. other areas seem fine.
Hopefully this has already been noted and patched.

Can someone please say where to press down 10 times for rhe debug menu on android i cant figure this out.

Sound like it could be a memory leak. If it's consistent and repeatable in that same spot, it's also possible there is something there that your phone is having trouble loading.

its not, the loading is loading sprites specifically. but i removed the loading for some things, forgot it for wendigo, and weaker phones the loading actually seems to break the game.

[a huge bee]

still love the game despite the trouble its having

 

[Nobledreameater]

i usually dont play games that are *full* gay but i really enjoyed this one. the animations are nice and fluid, the gameplay is fun and simple, and i really like noble hes so adorable. really hyped for more. my only thing im stuck on is for the bridge area at the beginning, on da map it says 2/4. im guessing that means interactions???? but im clueless on how to get them, i dont see anybody or anything to react with. but yeah other than that amazing game

who the fuck is this noble person, he sounds stupid as hell

 

[MiroFox]

still love the game despite the trouble its having

Which trouble is it having? Xp

 

[DommyMommyxdd]

how do i defeat shadow imp? lol

 

[ecroose]

how do i defeat shadow imp? lol

just jump up to him and press z, first phase he spawns rando blocks, jump up those to reach him, second, dodge the eye laser by standing in the gaps in the ramp, then jump up to him and press z, third phase is a a mix of both. its super easy
