While we get distracted with other despotic forces we cannot forget: fuck the CCP.

Im going to share this with the team thank you :)

I am a co founder of Hermertia Wars. Bunch of indie devs making our dream come true by working on an Action RTS that takes characters from our 13+ year lore playing minecraft community, and makes them heros you control while recruiting villagers, soldiers, and directing economy. Like AOE/warcraft 3 meets smash bros. Early game. We have a long project in mind. Would love new playtesters or meet folks interested in indie dev :). We are also a workers cooperative which is the best part.

Jokes aside Texans close to me have sworn its been a blue state for a while. The political games could only hold it back so long.

Meanwhile we were so afraid to hit submit we tested for months even if we were just launching a playtest build. Sweating before every early build submission and our steam review.

Even if it was actually a rubber stamp im glad we took so much care and am glad steam is setting up more tests like this.

I misread sorry. You dont think its okay to sell asbestos but is fine to sell carcinogenic coal. Fine. Stop calling me elitist because I think its bad to push coal exports. The folks who benefit from coal exports are energy elites not every day people. You are the one pushing elitism.

WHO estimates 200,000 deaths each year from asbestos. Let alone diseases and illnesses. You are defending this? You sound like a cartoon character capitalist.

Coal causes serious respiratory issues and is carcinogenic. Toronto had regular smog days until they closed the coal plants. It has an immediate impact on health. You pushing for coal sales is like pushing for us to continue to export asbestos. Its an ethics question you are bypassing. Making people sick for profit.

Now thats a classic I have to watch! Thanks

My name came and went with the 80s. Agent Cody Banks closed out that chapter. Now the name seems extinct for anyone outside the millennial age bracket.

The already mostly foreign owners will brag about their exit, Lockheed Martin will shutter canadian jobs, and canada loses out. Now we learned from Stelco that Americans are buying up canadian tech just to destroy it. We need to wake up. US are our enemies.

No for sure. But itch asks us to limit ourselves. Others here saying hey lots of reasons to stick with itch and to every comment I agree 100%. But we made a decision for a vision and itch’s model limited us.

Thanks! Fabulous summary that makes it easy for me to reply even without giving a video views. Also some of us are neurally wired to have tabs of information steams coming and a video blocks that. Ahah.

Y2K is an interesting comparison. I remember everyone infecting the moment when it was no big deal. Meanwhile jurisdictions the world over are ditching it and that makes BC by no means alone or without examples to show it will be fine.

For me it was a quote I forgot the origin: why did we change time to match factory work hours when we could have changed factory work hours to match time. Answer is a tale as old as time.

Please, fewer video links. Or at least post the transcript. Not giving YouTube clicks when this could easily be an article.

You are still asking us to signicantly downscale our design goals to accommodate itch. We are releasing our game free on steam anyway. So its not like we are hurting our community by choosing steam. But yes tonnes of games fit within itch platform and that’s awesome. Just not all game designs.

As an indie dev let me just say wed rather not limit our game to GameCube graphics. No offense to that special era and esthetic

For sure! But as an indie dev building a 3d arena game (an action rts) we so badly wanted to publish on itch but cant. Its a great platform for certain genres was my point.

So do I and not all of them do. The older ones more likely to. Younger ones much less likely to. But thats not really the point. The Act has a lot of paternalistic elements.

Problem is itch has a very low max disk size requirement. They wont host games over 2gigs. That basically leaves you with graphic novels and 2d games.
