I finally, finally, have a website of my own. Ouuhghhhhhh

For the almost four years I've been game-making, I've had to use third-party hosting platforms to link my images into Twine. It was Discord at first, which disabled their permanent sharing links, then it was Dropbox, which ended up being not reliable or easy to use, then it was finally Imgur, which I was using for a while until just now when it decided to give a ton of dumb errors that I didn't understand.

Plus Imgur sucks because they're pro-censorship and AI, so fuck them.

One of my lovely writers, Twaininduo, suggested I look into AWS, and so I have, and after sifting through a frankly horrendous amount of triple/quadruple letter acronyms (lets see. SSL, AWS, ARN, ETAG, IAM, HTTP, CDN, WAF, DDoS, DNS, API, TLS, ACM. Are there seriously people who know this shit off the top of their head.) I finally figured out how to buy a domain in order to host images on, and it works!

No more needing to worry about hosting on imgur and worrying about it being taken down or it being censored in the UK. My games finally have a place to rest easy.

As a celebration for this, if you go to the website now, you can play SL1 for free. I wanted to eventually make the game free for everyone, I was just kinda waiting for a good celebratory excuse for it.

TL;DR:

  • Going forwards, users in the UK will not be fucked by censorship in my games through Imgur

  • You can play SL1 for free at https://defied-realities.com

Of course, SL4 chapter 2 is well on its way and we're making great progress. If you haven't seen the last progress update, we've finished the skeleton now, and we're nearly finished TF planning.

Thank you for everyone's patience!

SL1

(set: $cum to 0)You duck through a portion of the metal fence that's fallen away due to many years of disrepair. It feels surreal seeing such a large scientific complex along side the fact that it's been abandoned for years. The government won't touch it, and there's a hundred eroded fence gates that surround the whole campus.

Only one thing you'll need to do - edit the image links so they don't point to Imgur for the new SL1 build - but still, nice.

Well, Imgur does still *exist*, so it's not like I'll need to go back and re-do everything (and i hopefully won't need to) though it is still the fact that it's censored for UK people. Guh. Well i mean i'll get around to it eventually for sure.

Or you can also embed the images in the HTML using the Data URI base 64 format. Each image will add to the file size, but it will be just the HTML, with all the images included, without needing them to be in a link or folder.

I have zero idea how to do that lol If it turns out this website doesn't end up working, i'll look into seeing how to do that, or getting help in order to do that, but right now I don't want to think about image hosting anymore after the stress it gave me.
