Last Game?


Hello there, 

At risk of making this game 'quarantined/de-indexed' as well, we are posting this final dev vlog here.
Due to the bigotry from 'some of the people' in the Mint's Hint's community, the dev probably has nothing to do with it, but their community itself, has targeted us, a minority group. Me and Emerald. Our nfsw accounts have been hit, shadow banned, and effectively shut down. So unfortunately, with how bad it is, we have decided it would be best to quit now. We were going to join the final nfsw minijam for this year but honestly, seeing all we love and care about ripped away with no response from the itch team has left us... hollow.

We have given the reins over to some friends who are learning game dev as we speak. Perhaps when their ready they can continue the work. Let Lesbian ponies and other weird romances shine. Until then we will continue to make SFW stuff since that account seems to still be allowed to work.

The worst part of all this is, we have not broken any of itch.io's rules. Any games that were pushing the boundaries too much we removed of our own volition. Nobody has contacted us to say that we were shadow banned, no explanation, no reason given. This is a problem because, without any communication, if for some reason we did something wrong, (which we didn't) then we could have fixed it. But from what I've seen, so many devs are not given any explanation, any reason, any... anything. So its up to us to try and figure out what happened by ourselves.

To be honest though, we have found one or two others like us, they're small in number and hard to find (such as the lovely creator of MareQuest on steam). So we hope they can do some good for the world. Sadly there are no other places we can publish adult work on, not if we intend to remain free for the world to enjoy.

Well, this has been a fun few years. Keep an eye on our sfw stuff at: TheCrimsonDM Vanillia if you like our stories, or even our art, that should still be good for now. 

As always, thank you for playing. XD

I would be more confused than usual to see this attached to an older game for a recent update.

By the way, "Mint's Hints"? Are we seriously bringing in a whole NEW community just to shit on as well?

update: though its been 2 months at this point, if something changes and we get feedback from the itch team, we may return. but 2 months is a long time for no changes.

With all due respect, I come at an innapropriate timing, but I did not have you be left in the dark. If you noticed me "dissapearing" from your feed, just know that I still have it—just that I should not make it public with an account under THIS identity soon.

Itch does not have some of the age restriction features like Steam, so I did not want to get flamed for some crazier because Google compiled it alongside everything else under my name. If there is some way I can still share it, I could.

Also, sorry for what happened. The stress in my real life was never easier for me either, even on my birthday...

my god crimson now thats just unfair to you and to us that like your content

i hope that itchio devs un-quarantine (is that a real word?)  your and emerald accounts

we were suprirsed by how viscious the original backlash for a simple harmless joke was. TBF though its not just mints hints, we've noticed that like, all the horror community 'not the devs but the active commenting folks' have become toxic AF on itch in the past two years. Zero idea how that happened, but we began noticing it with Dr.nose and the uh... wow the attacks they suffered. It would almost seem like the trolls are hanging out around horror games waiting to cause trouble.

The problem is that dr.nose is an sfw dev, and we are an nfsw dev. Itch doesn't like to help nfsw devs much
