Hello people, IoM will stop being offered on Itch immediately, of all the people on that platform who have decided to support the project and buy IoM, I have not received a penny for about a year, Itch does not respond to my emails or explain why they have withheld my payments for months.

I am not an isolated case, because in the Itch forums there are several developers claiming the same thing.

I know there are people here who, for supporting me more, buy the game on various platforms, to which I obviously thank them very much 🙏, but don't support the game on Itch anymore, as the sales seem to go into an empty sack. (However, I blocked the possibility of buying the game, and even if someone wants to, they shouldn't be able to.)

This is my official post about this issue for the IoM Itch community in case you want to check it out: https://itch.io/blog/907980/iom-will-no-longer-be-available-in-itch-

It was my mistake to let several months to accumulate and then send the payment order, if someone is thinking of creating a game and publishing it on Itch, do not make my mistake and claim the money every month, lest you get a surprise as they have done to me and other developers.

And obviously, this doesn't affect the development of IoM, so don't worry 🙂 the only thing is that it makes me lose a lot of time and also as you can imagine it annoys me.

It's time to continue developing IoM; our lovely Jennifer and Nina are waiting for me 😍💖😉.

I'm sorry to hear that. What makes me sad is people are paying money to get the game in honest way, instead of illegally downloading them from some website. Hopefully this will resolve in one way or another, and won't happen again in the future, or in other platform. Speaking of platform, I kinda wonder how the sales going in Oppaiman website? I just discovered that my country recently banned access to that website (for obvious reason). Now that's kinda sucks, since there are some interesting titles that I only find in Oppai's site.

Yep, I agree with you GRRM, also some people want to support a dev and in cases like this, that support vanishes. As a developer I try to be very clear and honest, so if I see that people can be losing money, I prefer to stop the sales on that platform. I will be keep sending emails to them to see if I get any reply, but there are many other developers in their forums asking about this issue. Oppaiman is a good site for visibility. Also, the team behind it is doing an amazing job in my opinion, they look very dedicated and with a lot of passion. I was not aware it was banned in some countries 😯 what a shame, they are building a very solid and good platform.

Bad to hear it. I hope you have more luck with the other platforms.

marcialart

Thanks, Yettas! I have 0 problems like this on the other platforms, so that's the good part. 🙂

Wow, that is not nice from them... *concerned face* Nope you are not up-to-date... Jennifer and Nina are not waiting for you, they are currently with me and waiting for me to join them ;-P

marcialart

Hey Woody! 👋 Yep, from a long time ago. Luckily, I didn't mention it a lot, so there were fewer people there compared to Patreon. 🙂

marcialart

Si nesecitas alguna ayuda o algo háblame soy Dominicano un placer

marcialart

Muchas gracias El_patron! Sí, la verdad es que no entiendo por qué decidieron hacerle esto a varios desarrolladores, pero bueno, seguiré peleando con ellos para buscar una solución, el problema es que yo no quiero pelear, sólo quiero desarrollar IoM. 😍 Jeje.

marcialart

Ok, muchas gracias 🙏🤩, por los momentos estoy bien. Es genial saber que hay gente de Dominicana por aquí! A Jen la aman en todo el mundo! 💖😍😍

I'm really sorry to they've done this to you, I think I've bought ony a few games on there I hope that they all have been paid like hopefully you will in the future, it might be worth of you haven't taking it up with so sort of higher power for services not paid for or something to claim your money your owed? I really hope it comes to you and others it's happened to as well, you and they all deserve to be paid for grate games you all produce. Hopefully we can an look forward to see great games here thought at least here you'll be paid 😉

Nosotros siempre te apoyaremos por Patreon campeón. Y si yo fuera tú denunciaba a la plataforma de itch ¿qué es eso de quedarse con todo el dinero del trabajo de otras personas? Faltaría más con el esfuerzo que lleva a otros desarrolladores como tú en crear un bonito juego con una buena historia y con mujeres bellísimas. Mi opinión es que tienen envidia del trabajo de otros. Pero siempre tendrás nuestro apoyo campeón.

El_patron

Así mismo estamos con Jen

marcialart

Thanks, Thumpa! I will keep emailing them, in the Itch forums, other developers are also writing about this issue, my guess is that this is happening to a small number of devs because if not, the forum would be flooded. 😅 If time keeps passing by and I get no reply, I will see what can be done about this situation. I'm going to be positive and think that this will be solved. 🙂 I just want to focus on working on IoM. 😍 Thanks for your message, and let's hope this issue can be solved in a simple way. 🙂

marcialart

Muchas gracias Joaquin!!! Seguiré insistiendo hasta que paguen, me molesta principalmente porque mucha gente quiere apoyar a un desarrollador y debido a un tercero, los pagos no se hacen y la personas no se enteran a menos que alguien lo diga. Por suerte mi Patreon es grande y sólido, pero hay algunos desarrolladores a los que cada céntimo les ayuda a pagar sus gastos, especialmente los pequeños y/o nuevos, y no es justo que les hagan esto. Pero por aquí yo voy a tope con Jen y reclamando al mismo tiempo jaja 😜, un saludo Joaquiiinnn!!!

I never used Itch and after you sharing this post, I never will. That is just messed up for them to do. But mostly importantly, at least this wont effect your work with the awesome IoM! Keep up the great work, MarcialART! You have my support, friend. Cheers! 🤩 🔥 👍

marcialart

Thanks Jonny Boy!!! I still don't understand this behavior from them. I hate losing time because there is so much to do and I only want to focus on IoM and not on things like this issue, but my motivation for IoM is intact! 🤩🤩🤩 Nothing can stop our lovely Jen!!! 😍😍😍

Matthew Wall
