My free 43-page guide to bridging the gap between digital games and physical spaces has been released.
Great for devs who want to bring indie games to local markets, shops, or spaces, and for organizers and business space owners to better understand indie devs!

We have an exciting update!
We have just launched the Creator Discovery feature!
On AbleToPlay, you could already find games that match your accessibility needs — now you can take it one step further and discover inclusive, accessibility-focused creators who do the same!

anyway there’s a yuri game concept i have that’s like. Impossible to release in this current political clime re: porn games
But i was thinking about it again today…it’s a looping narrative that involves a lot of dub/noncon in the vein of “mating” as a Biological Imperative that ends in consumption

if you take any kind of income from paypal (comms, kofi, stream tips etc):
Activity > All Reports > Activity > Activity Report:
generate a balance affecting CSV report of the current tax year
then take the sum of the fees column, being sure to separate and convert different currencies.

Also just... building a direct storefront is often more complex when you're out of the US, and you have to verify all tax info provided by guides, and even with help, *it is not that simple an endeavour*.
Some of us do not have the time/energy for it. It's partly why we were on itch to begin with!

We’re really going to need readers to start supporting authors on their own storefronts. A lot of people feel morally against using itch now and I can’t tell you what to do, but I can tell you that sales are down across the board, and if you want things to exist, we need your support
