Another quick one before bed. I'm at a crossroads with seemingly nowhere to go. My digital distribution could be dead in the water. Even the big boy payment processor, CCBill, suggested continuing to just use Patreon. Oof.

An article cover that says, "CCBill Told me I was a small fish. I wish they were wrong."

Read my review of trying to work with Paykings here: www.darkchibishadow.com/post/dear-ad...

I've been doing what I can to get digital distribution of my work back and up and running but I'm learning that it's going to be a long and awful battle. Genuinely not sure if my career is gonna make it.

An image for my article that reviews and speaks about my time trying to work with Paykings (Zen Payments) to set up digital distribution of my comics.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

Anyway, sorry for the long ramble. Just close up by saying again that I appreciate you documenting the whole process for other people. I hope you find a solution for your troubles and can just create content again, instead of suffering through all this bureaucratic nonsense.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

I'm currently setting up a storefront with a cryptocurrency checkout for my own content, but I'm fully aware this is not an ideal way to pay for most customers. It's mostly a backup, as there are still a couple of storefronts available for game developers. More than for written content, it seems.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

The ridiculous annual credit card fees you mention here: bsky.app/profile/dark... are standard for high-risk processors, I believe. And this in addition to the rolling reserve requirements and the overall higher rates adult creators have to pony up in order to even sell something.

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · Sep 9

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

Guns are not in any way used to incite sexual arousal, nor are characters forced to perform sexual acts at any point in the game. But CCBill has a blanket-ban on guns (and other topics like watersports), regardless of context. Those rules are a requirement by Visa and Mastercard, according to them.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

I ultimately got through the website review at CCBill and they were very thorough. I'm currently developing an erotic space opera visual novel, so basically an action story with sex interspersed. In order to pass review I had to remove any mention and all imagery of guns from my content.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Sep 10

Thank you for that extensive write-up. I went through a similar process with CCBill last year. Like Paykings and other processors they require a large amount of personal documentation (SSN, various business documents). But the lengths Paykings went to are just bizarre. I mean, photos of your home?!

The GOG release now also supports several new languages, including Simplified and Traditional Chinese and French.

I'm afraid that ship has sailed. The wording in their message explicitly forbids any resubmissions with modifications or renamed apps with the same content.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 16

No, they didn't give me much to go on. I'm really at a loss at what caused this. Could be a character or maybe certain wording, I'm not sure. Spooked enough to do a rethink on how I'm going to develop my projects in the future. I've been working on TFTUV since 2019...

Talking to indie devs, these things shock them most about adult games:

* Adult games are *manually* reviewed by someone at Valve, and this can take weeks

* Valve has no clear guidelines on acceptable adult content

* Rejections never come with a solid explanation

* There is no appeals process

The OpenNSFW Sound Pack (‪by @opennsfwsp.bsky.social‬) was a fantastic find while developing the sound update of Sisterly Lust. I barely scratched the surface of the content in the pack, so I'll be using it for future games for sure. More details: opennsfw.carrd.co #indiegame #indiedev #adultgames

Always happy to hear my crummy old game was a sort of gateway for new adult creatives! Good luck with developing your own games. Especially Neuro/Splice tickles my fancy based on the description, setting and screenshots.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 13

Yes of course, I've just forwarded the entire message chain.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 13

I will. It might be a while though, the last reply took them over two weeks.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 13

From the last itchio support email:

While adult content is still permitted on the platform, there are new restrictions that were imposed by our payment providers. Among these items is that we can no longer host content depicting incest. You can find the updated policy here:

itch.io/docs/creator...

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 13

I'm referring to the FAQ here, by the way: itch.io/docs/creator... I'm not sure if the removal was a mistake on their part, or a targeted action, but at the moment I'm a little confused how and if I can offer my content on itchio.

perverteer @perverteer.bsky.social · Aug 13

Either the support rep ignored the fact that I'm offering my content for free, or the payment processor's ToS apply to all content regardless if the content is free or paid. I sent a follow-up message challenging this and to try and confirm if my assumption is correct.
