If you still have the same itchio account you should be able to download it again normally on the game page :D

Some countries [ Germany and some others ] have banned Adult Games, so Steam doesn't allow the purchase of Adult Games in those countries. Itchio is a smaller company, so it gets away with still offering Adult-oriented games to people.

Hey there! I don't want to charge you twice. If you send me a message on my Etsy Store [ https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Gatobob ] I can reply privately to you and help you

If it always crashes in the same place and gives the same error then it would be due to code and I could do something about that, but when it comes to random crashing, that would have more to do with your machine/memory/drivers and I can't really troubleshoot that, I'm sorry ^^;

There's a music room right in the game where you can see the credits for each individual track, but most tracks were purchased through Envato Elements and some tracks were composed by BARBATUS

I'm afraid the achievements are only on steam since they're steam achievements 

I'm very sorry, I don't really know what could be wrong ^^; If it's starting up and then crashing then it may be a lack of memory issue..?

Hmmm! I googled the error message and it's telling me that it may have something to do with incompatible save data between devices? I'm really not sure why this would be affecting you though since an itchio version of the game wouldn't use cloud saving like steam might.

I'm very sorry I can't be more helpful, I've never seen this particular error before ^^;

If you'd like to look into it more yourself, a good search term would be "Renpy ImportError No module named Revertable" <- that's the name of the program the game was made in and then the name of the error message

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm going to work as hard as I can to make something you can continue to enjoy!

if you really enjoy it, please consider checking out my etsy store to get yourself a keychain :D https://gatobob.etsy.com/

Thank you so much for your generous compliments! 😭

As for your question- I'm afraid that's up to you! My policy is to offer the games only. I want people to feel free to imagine whatever they want outside of the game ^o^

I definitely imagine him as 'not white'. His complexion in the game is meant to appear as his baseline because he seems like the type to wear expensive sunblock LMAO

I'm so glad you're still here with us!!! 

I know exactly what it feels like to have too many things go wrong, and to believe to your core that things will keep going wrong- that all there is in the future is pain. 

When the thought of killing myself was the only thing that made me feel better, I talked to people. I told the few people I trusted and I sought out a therapist as well. It didn't instantly fix everything of course but it showed me the path to recovery and helped me believe in a future where things are better.

I'm so glad you've talked to me today! You took a chance on communicating with someone and that's EXACTLY the right thing to do. Please keep taking chances. Go places with people, attend events- I know that taking chances after being hurt so badly is extremely hard, but if you keep checking the shore, you never know what the tide may bring in.

One last thing too- be your own friend if you can. For me, this took a lot of work and practice. I used to be abusive to myself in my own head. My therapist taught me to argue with myself in my head and challenge every mean thought. It was exhausting. But it gets easier if you keep doing it. Once you treat yourself like a friend, it's not so scary to be alone. Behind closed doors you can find love instead of fear.

Good luck Ellie, and I really hope you enjoy all of my next games :)

Thank you so much for your kinds words and very generous reviews!!!

As for your question, I consider everything in the games to be equally canon. It is up to the player to decide which story they like best and what happens after ^o^

My design for Ren is changing, along with Strade as well in the new game I am making, which is a remake of the BTD1 Strade route. You can see more information about the new game here-> https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/pgs/ykmetstrade.php

Oh no! I don't really know anything about the money system here on itchio. You will have to contact itchio support about that I think. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful ^^;

No problem! My Patreon is patreon.com/gatobob - you may have to type it in directly as I am self-classified as adult content.

You can also find all my old art and free updates on my personal website https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/

I don't have a specific time period in mind :) I guess you could just classify them as 'relatively modern'

I'm very sorry but I'm not ^^;

I don't really want to hammer out any details of my work. To me, the joy in art is every unique interpretation creating something new. I think it should be a joint process between artist and viewer where both contribute imagination.

Accuracy means very little to me and I am comfortable with my characters being interpreted in any way that gives people joy.

To open a Renpy Game on mac, you may need to do some extra steps. If the issue is mac refusing to open an unsigned program, then follow these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac

On top of that, your game must be placed in the applications folder. Applications that are not in the applications folder may not run.

Well, it's certainly up to you guys what you like to document and such so don't worry too much what I think!

Although if you want my personal opinion, I consider only TPOF and the information on my website [ dirtymurdergames.com ] to be 'current canon'. 

Anything that I posted on my old social media and whatnot is subject to change for my newer games [ or was never said seriously in the first place, it was just social media posting after all ]

Lots of stuff in the old BTD games will be changed to fit my narratives better in YKMET as well. I know 'retcon' isn't the most popular thing but my personal motto is that 'improvement is better than consistency' haha!

Oh, that's very sweet of you to worry! [ maybe even... evilsweet? sorry LMAO ]

I'm aware of a couple people leaking my Patreon information, but unfortunately there's nothing I can really do. Not even hollywood can prevent leaks haha!

I'm very lucky to have enough people legitimately supporting my work on my Patreon [ and buying my games/merch ] that I can survive and keep making things. The economy is really rough right now, and if people who can't afford to support me financially get some joy from seeing my leaked patreon content, then I suppose it's really not so bad.

Besides, with my big watermarks on everything, they're giving me free advertising anyway haha!

I'm afraid I probably won't be offering commissions again! I'm working full time on the next game, then I'll be working as tech support and creating new merch after it's released :D

All of my social media accounts are gone and I have no intention of ever returning to it in general, but I do have a currently updated personal website www.dirtymurdergames.com where you can find info about my next game, what my progress currently looks like, and stuff like my old art arranged by year :)

Yes, I plan to put up the new game on Steam :) I don't really plan for an 'early access' phase though. I prefer the old fashioned way of going through proper beta testing in semi-private and then releasing a complete game. You can find details about my progress on the game at my personal website: https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/pgs/ykmetstrade.php I update that page every friday to keep the progress noted on it up to date :D

It won't delve much into the TPOF stuff, and it won't involve Lawrence at all. It's more like just an expanded version of Strade's original route. Ren does get more screentime in it though :)

If everything goes well with this game, Lawrence will get his own game next!

That's an EXCELLENT choice, I love it!

I never did give him a real name in any planning phases 🤔 I admit, I'm not the type to think of extra details that aren't in the story [ same reason Strade has never had a last name LMAO ]

I'd say 'just go with your heart' 

I am! I'm currently working on a remake of Strade's path from the original BTD. It will be very different though- lots of upgrades. If you wanna see more info about it, you can check out my personal website www.dirtymurdergames.com :D

Yay! I'm so glad it helped! And thank you haha! :D [ you are not stupid at all, mac is stupid and I say that as a mac user myself LMAO ]

Hmmm, it may not work if it's not in the applications folder- did you drag in there first?

It's written neutrally but generally it's always about bottoming

Hello, I'm sorry for any confusion. [ And I'm sorry for the very slow reply, itchio randomly stopped sending me emails about comments ]

I don't have any of my social media accounts any more so I can't look up any permission messages nor can I remember them. I'm sorry.

My general policy is to allow the use of my characters in games as references or cameos, but not to allow them to be written at length/be a main character in other people's games.

I've deleted the section about "Gomenne Gomenne" on my personal website, as I really don't want to cause any trouble, but my policy is still the same.

Wow! I was surprised at how much art is drawn for a demo! So many angles and different backgrounds! The black and white static vibe of the art is excellent, the pacing of the writing is well-done, and Wade is totally hot! The needle licking CG is chefs kiss.

Bravo!!! It's wonderful to see people contributing to this niche genre! <3

And your copy of the game is version at least 1.2.8?

sorry for extremely late reply! None of my games will ever be available for IOS unfortunately because they break IOS terms of service [ also having official apple apps is extremely expensive and difficult, they require yearly fees and need to approve every update- it's kind of a nightmare RIP ]

1.2.8 is the latest one, yep! You can probably find a guide to follow if you look up how to get the Control achievement that will tell you how to do it step by step. You need to drink like 5 times or so, it's only possible when she's gone for a long time. You'll know you have the achievement if there's a little animated Fox taking his hat off on the collections screen. Once you have it, you can just start a new game and there will be a new option to go with him at the auction.

As long as you have the latest version of the game, you can access it by getting the 'CONTROL' achievement. To do that, you have to find the hidden note in Celia's desk- still a bit of a challenge because you won't see it unless you're drunk enough. You'll lose your sanity trying to get drunk enough if you don't have some ginger ale as well.

They should be in something like [ %APPDATA%/RenPy/save_directory ] for windows or [ ~/Library/RenPy/save_directory ] for mac. 

Save files are different from persistent data though. I think they're held in the same place, but persistent data is what hold achievement and overall game progress.

One way to get rid of them for sure would be to duplicate and back up your whole game folder, then go into the actual game and use the big red 'delete all progress' button on the collections page. That button wipes out all save files and persistent data so you can start from scratch.

I'm very sorry but I'm not really sure what the problem could be or how to solve it ^^; I'm not very knowledgable about computer tech support issues 

Sorry for the late reply- I was out for a bit! The genital mutilation warning is pretty mild. It's only text, and pretty short. No pics and definitely no animations! 

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot for phones much, but it sounds like there may be a lack of minimum ram or memory? If it's an old phone that may be the issue [ it's not a very heavy game in terms of solid files but it uses some graphic effects that need a fair amount of processing power ]
