A very busy first day in our Swedish booth at Tokyo Game Show with demoing, meetings and even Japanese tv visiting!😎 #indiegames #indiedev

Today we pitched our studio and upcoming project at ”pitch & fika” at Tokyo Innovation Base! #indiedev #indiegame

We recently gathered friends and collaborators to celebrate the release of Truer than You❣️ It was wonderful to get to share the joy and process of something that has been in the making for such a long time 😍 #gamesareart #indiedev

We're super happy thet Truer than You will be part of Adventure X @adventurex.bsky.social this November! Check out all the participants here 😍 www.adventurexpo.org/exhibitors

🏃💨 We've passed $56,000 for queer artists! Get over 600 games and projects for $60 (or $10+), less than the price of one AAA game . . . even adjusted for inflation from 1985. itch.io/b/3062

Folks the preasure is working! Stripe retracted their comments on forbidding people from buying LGBT games, visa is working with some JAV sites again. Even Steam is cuitting ties with Paypal for now! It's working! Keep calling! Keep sending mail! We can win this if we keep going!

Now would be a good time to start making demands. Like reinstating payment processor support for DLSite. Yes, even for the stuff you think is gross and weird and wrong. Because it's fiction.

Needless to say we loved our new acting gig 😆 All the drama of our first Truer Than You playthrough is here: youtu.be/9imW3FqXP4s?... @transcenders.bsky.social @biggamesmachine.bsky.social #TruerThanYou

Adult content restrictions could pave the way for anti-LGBTQIA+ content bans https://www.wearequeeraf.com/w/

Do choices matter in your narrative game? There are only 14 days left to submit your game to the first ever #ChooseWiselyFestival on Steam! Join a fantastic line-up of narrative games this winter. Submissions: choosewiselyfestival.carrd.co #gamedev #indiegame #games #steam #indiedev #vndev #IF

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

Just updated the article with quotes from @transcenders.bsky.social, @ninamarie.bsky.social and some more cases of games impacted by this ongoing struggle. Will probably put out an article about the payment processor's statements and such in the near future. Get in touch if you've been ringing!

Do it! 😍🏳️‍🌈

The Queer Games Bundle is live, and Knife Sisters is part of it! Get it and over 300 works while also supporting queer creators 🏳️‍🌈💖 @queergamesbundle.bsky.social

PC Gamer is also covering steam/itch now www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

"Truer than You is a visual novel about the gig economy. You're hired by a start-up run by a techbro who wears 'fun' t-shirts—always a warning sign—to complete vague tasks delivered via phone app." ☺️ www.pcgamer.com/games/visual...

Regarding the adult themed games crackdown: The Dutch Game Association has flagged this issue with the European Games Developer Federation as we believe we can have a bigger impact on a European level. However, I still strongly recommend you also bring up the issue with your local association.

Some very good points in this blog post! ✨

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!

Dont stop contacting Visa/MC, but Itch needs Stripe specifically pressured right now.

I just wanted somewhere to post my weird gay video games. Why can’t they leave us alone

I need the 1.3 million people who signed the Stop Killing Games petition to also sign this. This will kill games too. Doesn't matter if the games get made but there's not platform able to sell it.

📢 ISO of Devs Affected by Itch 📢 If your game got: • Deindexed • Removed • Payouts turned off Especially if you make Adult &/or LGBTQ+ #IndieGame or #VisualNovel, I want to talk to you. 🗣️ Please reply below with how you were affected. This is for a #Journalism piece. 🔁 RTs Appreciated 🔁

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

an ex-colleague from my team at thunderful malmö (rip) just released their game. check it out! even has a demo truer than you by @transcenders.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/2161830/...

Anyone else having trouble exporting video from Premiere Pro? Whatever settings I use, the exported mp4 has serious glitches.. looks kinda cool, but would be better if it was intended 👀 #premierepro

Support the creatives in your life as much as possible right now. Every single one I know is struggling *exceptionally* hard lately, myself included

We got thoroughly checked for content when our game build was reviewed on Steam. Not sure this has something to do with it, but it's interesting nonetheless, and makes you wonder about how the future will look 🤔

I am so utterly hyped for the release of Truer Than You I loved Trancenders' previous game, Knife Sisters, it's a game I don't shut up about. And having played through Truer Than You already thanks to the devs I can honestly say they have outdone themselves Please go give them some support! 🏳️‍🌈😊
