Kimochi shutting down

Re: Kimochi shutting down

Huh, that's a shame. I've only purchased one game on there (Sourjelly's game), should I get a refund or will that update of his be given somewhere else for those who purchased it?

i think youd have to message SJ about that, either way so far i've honored purchases on kimochi (there was a bit where the games werent downloading properly, so people who emailed me, i sent the mega links for the full game)

Shame, i was rooting for this to become a permanent thing. Hopefully an even better platform can be built from the lessons and ashes of Kimochi.

Well, I was not exactly expecting this. Especially not this soon.

It was a neat idea, but alas, they did not have the salt to keep it alive long enough for it to properly take off.

Thanks for the quickie Kimochi, it was fun.

Re: Kimochi shutting down

I really need to talk with market manager for solve this problem. ):

It's alright. I'll be content as long as that I can get the update without buying again.

Itch.io themselves do nothing to censor your content, which is great!

But...

Their payment processors don't allow porn! Paypal and Stripe both forbid the sale of "obscene materials" via their services. So be careful!


The Steam loophole might work.

Sell an all ages version of your game through itch.io, and freely distribute an 18+ content patch as a free download through your own separate uploads.

What? they quit after half a year?
Ofc they lose money, it's rare for a business to be profitable after only half a year. I don't really understand how they lose money because file hosting is super cheap nowadays. So sad, I never even could test it since they never released the 32bits version

Re: Kimochi shutting down

Really bad news... first Offbeatr, now Kimochi. I didn't care much for the former (it was quite clear Patreon took most of their target over, and they charged huge % anyway), but Kimochi was really a great community and a very cool team to work with as a publisher.

I don't think game's visibility is the main issue with payment processors - sooner or later they may find out anyway, just by reviewing some of the content for which the payments go, I guess.

Re: Kimochi shutting down

Oh that's a real shame...
I suposse that's why we got ignored when tried to became publishers almost a month ago (but i think they should have answered the mail i sent them via the support mail)
Couldn't even get the chapter 1 released on there

Re: Kimochi shutting down

Guess we now rely on sites like Lewdgamer & the community to grow even more to just spread awareness/let people know our titles are out there.

Its sad to see stuff like this not end up working in the end. In the mean time while we wait out for another distribution system, I'll keep having my guys cover the titles. Honestly the only reason why we aren't cover more games from here is cause the site does need a bit of help.

We aren't going anywhere anytime soon though and we continue to keep growing. Our plan is to push more and more of this kind of material in the limelight and its has been working since I made the site almost a year ago. The rapid increase in interest from people is enough to show that.

Sad news man. I loved the idea and the application was solid. If anything you've managed to learn something out of it
