The Game Devs of Color @itchio bundle is live now! From the page:

> This bundle supports Game Devs of Color, a nonprofit organization that uplifts and amplifies game creators of color. Many of the games here were made by developers of color, and others were contributed by allies who share our mission. It’s a celebration of community, creativity, and solidarity.

Prerolled was ranked #10 out of 1160 games for the shovel jam !!

https://orphic-dreaming.itch.io/prerolled

We had so much fun making it + so much support that we are still working on it.

We made a big update, that features new dice and better mechanics.

Please try to break the game as much as you can, we need to see what combos are too strong 🤡

"Now remember, this is just a subsect of the thousands of that have been affected, but it is a look into who is being hurt by these changes the most. We are seeing queer, neurodivergent, and low-income creators losing their visibility and their income."

Plea for action from Australians copied from Bsky:

If any fellow Aussies think its inappropriate for a registered Australian charity (Collective Shout) to bully an indie website (Itch) into reviewing all NSWF (+ random other) content, and to pretend 'lobbying' is 'charity', here's where you can report misuse of their charity status: https://www.acnc.gov.au/

You're looking for the Raise a concern menu. The option is Raise a concern about a charity.

According to the screenshot, the ABN is 30162159097. As I'm not an Australian, I haven't gone through the process myself.

EDIT: have reached enough people & it's in the queue, thanks for the help! Will share more when it's through that phase.

Regarding the recent itch.io attack on queer & NSFW content (payment processors pressuring them into delisting large amounts of that stuff).

If you're UK-based or a UK citizen, I've prepared a petition re processors taking it upon themselves to suppress legal content sold by clients. I need a few supporters to get it into the review queue.
