Chapter 1.2 Update & Deindexed

Primal was, unfortunately, deindexed as part of the recent wave of censorship sweeping across Itch.io and Steam. I won't speak too much about it here, but I posted about it on my tumblr blog for anyone interested in learning more. I'm not sure how it will affect Primal moving forward. I haven't had much time to be on tumblr or Itch.io lately due to work and life demands, but from what I've seen, a lot of creators are considering moving deindexed games to different platforms, which is something I may consider for Primal as well. 

Primal is, at it's heart, an erotica. And while I'm not particularly concerned with how these changes will prevent monetization of the game itself (I have no plans of monetizing the game), this is my passion project. I want to be able to share it with as many people as possible. And if Itch.io is no longer a safe space for this type of content, it may be good to consider other options. Nothing is set in stone yet. With any luck, the recent changes will be temporary. 

Life has been crazy,  I apologize to those of you I haven't been able to respond to yet in Itch.io comments or tumblr asks. I'm hoping to set aside some time to do so soon.  Getting caught up on everything will probably take me a couple weeks, but it is definitely on the top of my to-do list <3 Till then, take care and let's keep applying pressure to the payment processors responsible for these censorships!

UPDATE: Recent changes to Itch.io's nsfw restrictions has allowed Primal to be reindexed as long as the game is set to "no donations"! As a result, I will continue to host the game here on Itch :)
