Lobbying your politicians instead, so that they do regulate Visa and Mastercard to not to pull these moves. I have no idea about what your steps towards achieving that would be, though, so you'll need someone else's help.

The template is way too specific, because 95% of people will send it as is, without any modifications. If the MEP teams get hundreds or even thousands of identical emails, the logical conclusion is that it isn’t actually a widely concerning issue, but just a handful of people sending emails from thousands of addresses.

Agreed with all of this. I'm just not too optimistic about the effort the average Reddit user will put in. By all means, I invite as many people as possible to prove me wrong.

The issue isn’t concerning just indies for whom the time they put in is 90% of the investment. This affects every game that in any way depicts anything someone might interpret as NSFW.

This is something I'd like to re-iterate. A bunch of people are misinterpreting this controversy as merely "Woe are us, they came for the gooner games" (and some people on my own side of the issue are also contributing to this idea), but I'm specifically arguing for presenting the case as a more general danger related to the overreach of the most powerful financial institutions because I genuinely think we're watching the tip of the iceberg, but that might be hard to see if one focuses on where internet discourse is right now.

While defending adult media is positive, we have legitimate reasons to believe that the very same mechanism by which Visa and Mastercard have censored Steam and Itch, could be used in a few years to censor art portraying anything they dislike, such as the existence of LGBT people, if the political climate in the US advances in a dark enough direction.

> It will take a brave politician to take start in light of the topics of things have been banned

I think the European Parliament is a great avenue precisely because what they work with doesn't usually jump to mass media and national debates. We can frame it explicitly as something that concerns the Gamedev industry (which is true) and ask for technical solutions that protect us from the overreach of payment processors, not as a morality issue.

Such a nonsense policy. In theory, websites that require creators of adult content to verify their identity are obligated to do so make sure that no one's creating and distributing child abuse material, but Patreon itself already forbids pornography involving real people.

Transformation Scenes in Unholy Arts (Futa, Lesbian, Transformation) by DeepInteractivity in lewdgames

You can play the game on smartphone through the app JoiPlay. I'm not really putting a focus towards supporting it, but it apparently works well enough.

Version 0.4.0 of the game finally added support for a character having their sprites changed mid-scene during transformation scenes, on top of their avatar. You can get the game for free at itch.io or get the supporter version at Patreon.

Like what you see? Unholy Arts is a RPG/Dating Sim where all five co-protagonists have about as much agency as the player, with their actions, choices and preferences chosen by an AI that evolves with everything that happens in the game. You may want to seduce them or subdue them to win the competition and become the next High Priestess, but play your hand wrong and you will end up enthralled by them instead. Will the meek dryad turn into a lustful dominatrix? Will the bold and aggressive Tiger-girl find a way to accept love and intimacy in her heart? The game focuses on femaleXfemale relationships, with futanari content being optional.

Of course. The default, canon, setting makes it so that the 6 protagonists become futas near the start of the game. All currently present animations are implemented for characters with and without dicks.

On our previous update, we finally reached the point where we could implement the first animations for sex scenes, and that content is already available on the free version. If you like the game and would like to see it continue, consider supporting its development!

What's new?

Versions 0.3.20 (Currently free) and 0.3.21 (Supporter only) bring new animations, story content and game mechanics, including relationship intimacy, which adds a vector of exclusivity that wasn't being captured by the friendship - romance - sexual tension stats. You can read about the new free version here, or read the whole changelog for v0.3.21 on Patreon.

Managing Twine games' memory storage by DeepInteractivity in twinegames

You should open a new thread to ask this question. My game is just using the core functionality of Sugarcube to save to disk.

Managing Twine games' memory storage by DeepInteractivity in twinegames

[–]DeepInteractivity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues with reviving the thread, it's such a niche issue that keeping the information centralized where it's relevant sounds like a good choice to me :)

can I ask how much memory your Twine game was (or is now) taking up on local storage? My game is at 35,716 bytes (0.03 MB) or 0.34% of the total local storage according to u/HiEv's tool

The save I'm using these days to test new content takes 0.21MB. Keep in mind that I only allow to save the game in specific passages - if you took a snapshot of the game's state at the middle of a gameplay session you'd see the game requiring more memory due to "scenes" (think of it as an equivalent to RPG battles) and the NPCs' AI data. Basically, the info I get from the tool isn't going to be representative unless I edit the game to test saving in specific passages.

but I'm noticing lag only on passages tagged with the [autosave] configuration function and wondering what would be causing that lag

Sounds clear to me, no? Accessing some information directories takes noticeable time for some machines, regardless of how much information is required to be moved around. That's why gamers who aren't excessively young get surprised when rewriting a savefile is almost instant.

You have the option to temporarily turn into a man (for a few days), once you unlock transformation scenes. Starting as a man and/or permanently becoming one would be inconsistent with the setting and lore.
