I just created this meme and have to shear it with @gloryhoundsvn.bsky.social #GloryHoundsVN #meme

Something that has to happen at least once.

We have an internal demo up and running for issue 5! Orion's going to give it an extra polish round this week and then we should be ready to post.

While it is a little shorter than the other issues we've released so far, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Paypros still haven't receded. We need to keep exhausting them until they give up. Letting them win wouldn't be the death of just furries but the entirety of the internet will be controlled by paypros if we let this slide.

SCREEN ACT:
-full age verification. (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks)

-Deeply unsafe for personal and data privacy. Security/data breaches are rampant, and uploading so much sensitive data to every single we site is just asking for mass ID theft.

-id verification is much, much harder on small websites than larger ones, creating a chilling effect and stifling speech for anyone that isnt a massive corporation

-draw comparison to UK's OSA [online safety act] and the backlash it is receiving

KOSA:
-creates "duty of care,” meaning that tech companies and platform giants would be required to take steps to prevent potentially harmful encounters, such as posts about eating disorders and instances of online bullying, from impacting minors.

-who gets to decide what is or is not "unsafe for minors"? Especially under the current administration

-it will block access to important info minors could use to keep themselves safe or advocate for themselves. Ex: sex ed.

-the vague nature of the bill will almost certainly be used to target LGBT content under the guise of "protecting children"

The economy is only getting worse, husband is still unemployed, and I'm apparently still unemployable. We're currently broke, and can't predict when the next unemployment payment will arrive. The fridge is empty and we won't get anything more from the food stamps for about two weeks.

Do not open any links or download any files you see in itch comments. Game updates will always be published through official channels.

You do need to be logged in to view them I think.

This doesn't mean everything's all well and good now, but it's a step in the right direction. At this time it's still important to call and petition so adult NSFW games and queer creators can exist freely.

Be angry at this even if what you create/buy/play/read/etc is SFW, because the ultimate goal is to ban all queer content of any sort, as well as any speech the right-wing puritans disagree with.

I will keep writing Glory Hounds however I can no matter what happens. Queer art and expression is important, and even if I can only be a drop in the proverbial bucket it'll be worth it.

Conway is now also available for download over on fvn.li/games/conway

This is not really a solution to the problem at hand, but at least it is a place where you can get it, should itch.io pull the plug or keep things shadowbanned.

Conway - FVN.li

A In development game, made with Ren'Py, available on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, 297,470 words long.

As some of you must know, Itch has deindexed adult content from its platform. Most of the games are still available and can be accessed through links, collections and your library, but cannot be found by browsing the platform.

Not to mention there are plenty of VN devs and authors in the community who rely at least partly on the income they generate through itch to make a living, which makes the situation all the more urgent.

While our VN is available for free and always will be, we still rely heavily on the exposure itch.io has provided us thus far to be able to provide continued updates. We hope there will be a swift, positive resolution.

Hello everyone,

itch.io has recently deindexed all adult material from its search engine. This includes numerous works by the Echo Project, Glory Hounds among them. You can still access our work by going directly to the itch pages of our projects.
