Regarding the demo, there was a bug that I failed to notice that would keep players from playing the whole demo. The bug has been fixed, so if you ran into this issue, do try updating the demo and giving it another go! Sorry for the inconvenience!

the part of this i find interesting and kind of telling is everyone yelling at itch and no one yelling at valve, when, let's be real, if there were ever a company big enough to weather that storm head on, it would be the "30% cut of all of steam and not publicly traded" company

I'm less concerned with people being nice to itch and more concerned at your ability to focus on the obvious enemies in front of you instead of raging at the easiest, but most useless target.

Visa & MasterCard could cut off payments to/from arms manufacturers, genocidal regimes, human rights–abusing governments, neonazis & other fascist bigots, etc.

but they go after queer people & porn because they don't give a shit about safety of morality, they just want to bow before the throne

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

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!

Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

maybe this is like... common practice, idk but I wanted to share. I'm a pretty amateur programmer, and if this helps a fellow amateur, then it was worth posting!

StinkyDev @stinkydev.bsky.social · May 3

but you could ALSO write it where the variable is set to the absolute value of itself subtracted by 1! So:
var = abs(var-1)
if var is 0, it'll become 1 cause absolute value of -1 is 1, and if var is 1, then it'll be zero, cause 1-1 is zero. Makes doing that much easier :D (2/3)

i don't know if im just stupid but i just blew my own mind with this: usually when i'm doing a boolean swap i do like a whole ass "if var = 0, then set var to 1, else set to 0", but there's a faster way you can do it! (1/3)
