We thank Fruity for the trust and for basically letting us go through and do some fun little animations, use some fish and make a simple but colourful theme that is modular and fit for how he's using it!

If you've tuned into any of @fisherfruity.bsky.social's streams, you may notice he's got a totally fin-tastic aquatic theme, courtesy of us here at ABT! The brief was to have colourful storybook quality to it and Fruity allowed us to shitpost with the text bubbles, which is always fun.

This isn't me being angry at itch, for the record - this is a SHODDY level of communications that addresses only half of what is going on.

1. Why isn't this treated like an emergency that affects every stakeholder in itch.io ? Why is there no sitewide email, banner on site etc? Why is it just a blogpost?
2. If you're upset too, why not address the elephant in the room re: LGBTQ+ creators? This only focuses on NSFW.

We've posted an addendum FAQ to our original blog post about NSFW content. You can read it here: itch.io/updates/upda...

Thank you for your patience as we navigate through this. We're upset too. We're doing what we can but there are still many unknowns at this point.
Update on NSFW content
Update July 28th, 2025 : Addendum FAQ We have “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from our browse and search pages. We understand this action is sudden and disruptive, and we are truly sorry for th...

I hate writing strongly worded emails in my personal time, but sometimes you just gotta send a strongly worded email cause wtf
An email to support@itch.io

Hello, we are Atelier Bubble Tea.

We are currently writing to express our serious concerns and strong opposition towards your recent decision to deindex all adult/NSFW content from your site. We have just released our first visual novel "Queen and Knight" as part of the "Toxic Yuri VN Jam" and our initial impetus for joining was that if we reached a point in our game where we would have to depict about queer themes involving sexuality or violence, we would be able to do so in a manner that was authentic and honest. Itch.io has long been celebrated as a platform for independent creators, particularly those from marginalised groups, to have their voices heard and it is quite frankly, shocking that we are even writing this email in the first place.

We believe that this drastic change represents a significant step backwards for the creative freedom and diversity that the platform has long been celebrated for. We are a two person team composed of a Filipino/British bisexual and Australian/Vietnamese asexual who want to write stories without being compromised.

We urge you to reconsider the decision to deindex NSFW/adult work in the strongest possible terms and address our concerns as both users and creators on the platform.

Many thanks,
Atelier Bubble Tea (Kyrie and Saga)

Nope, itch has handled this situation poorly as well and the way they have gone about the deindexing as well as their statement gives me major doubts about the platform. I have already contacted Mastercard and Visa regarding Steam prior.

Kyrie took this shot in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and was fascinated by it for ages

The two biggest character inspirations were Agrias and Ovelia from Final Fantasy Tactics and Vira and Katalina from Granblue Fantasy - the latter so much so they were our placeholders while we were setting up.

we made our first ever game, for #toxicyurivnjam !!! Queen and Knight, a fairytale styled yuri about a Queen and her Knight and what happens when they say they love each other.

But this isn't a fairy tale that leaves you feeling sweet inside. atelierbubbletea.itch.io/queen-and-kn... free2play

Hello I am pleased to announce that I wrote and programmed a VN for #toxicyurivnjam! I wrote this half when I was jetlagged in Europe and programmed it the moment I got home.

Please enjoy our fairytale take on toxic yuri!
