Hey there

I enjoy your work a lot and have been looking forward and following RoB closely. Noticed, though, that the downloadable versions of the previous projects have been removed, now only available through subscriber services only.

I’m not going to pretend there is or can’t be any solid financial reason for this move, it would be disingenuous to do so. But the whole affair is a bit disappointing in relation to further projects. I saw RoB has a steam page and all but while I have been looking forward to it, I personally would have no intention of purchasing it through that storefront. I would, however do so through here and have, in fact, tried to throw a dono for some of the old projects.

Do you have any intention of bringing that back here? Can’t speak for other people but I’m in a position where I’d be happy to do a one-off purchase/dono, my recurring support budget is already overshot as it is so another subscription is kind of out of the question.

I would like to chime in with agreement. I've been playing the free version updates on Newgrounds, but I won't be purchasing on Steam as I like to keep my nsfw games separate from Steam, itch is my nsfw collection. So would be really nice to have it up here also. Or at least a downloadable version of what's on Newgrounds being on here would be great as well. I know you can get it on Patreon and I definitely understand the need to pay for support, and I'd gladly do that, but it's just more convenient to have my nsfw collection in one spot (itch io) than on Patreon

I believe they removed the option to buy it through itch.io due to itch.io changing its guidlines. You might be able to buy the game through the creators patreon

I’m not entirely sure on the specifics. I think PinkTea mentioned in at least one of the games that they’d hit an upload limit of some sort but it’s still a bit vague as to the details.

I’m aware of the subscription support options just my continuous support budget is a bit stretched already. Would love to buy RoB (as I did I think all of their previous work) when it’s out but definitely not going to do it through steam either

Well our request has been answered now. It's available for purchase here

Hello, 

Apologies for the late reply! I didn't see your messages for some reason. 

Thank you to everyone willing to purchase the game on here - I didn't think there would be that much interest to be honest. 

Anyway, I am uploading the latest version of RoB to itch.io right now, and will continue to do so for each new update until competition of the project. So basically this will be the same as Steam - better for me in fact as itch don't take so much of a cut as Steam.  

Also, I uploaded the android and linux builds. 


Thank you all, and feel free to contact me here - I'll do my best to get back to you promptly
