just released an update; added a little bounce back animation (to remind the player that yes, you need to give yourself some space if you want to jump up a ledge) and some other things..

the anime sfx-making tool! It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top. Then there's the controls: In vertical pairs: Left: Pitch Rise Rise speed Reverb Room size On the right: Wobble Speed Wobble Amount Tone Brightness Volume Next is a row of keys: Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive. Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles: IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain. Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.

If you find it useful consider supporting me on itch :)

Pushed out a small update to my selfwatch keypress recording tool with a web interface to visualize your keypress history, including a github style contribution grid github.com/leafo/selfwa... #golang

That's a good idea, but tricky to implement given our current architecture. Perhaps a conditional sale could handle this?

I'll take a look

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content – under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Trying to clean up some misinformation about what pages were affected by our NSFW content deindexing. If anyone has a contact with the author please send it my way.

The review process doesn't involve you. Your page would have been put into a queue for someone to look at, they would see that it's not spam/scam/abuse, then click OK, and it would be eligible for indexing.

I don't see any evidence of any of your pages being put in the review queue.

> So do you review content or not?

Both. We use automated heuristics to flag some pages for review before indexing, but generally speaking pages can be published without any explicit approval.

Too many pages are published per day to review everything, so we try to prioritize what we do look at

I 100% agree with you, looking to adding an update to the dashboard to more explicitly show indexing status when the dust settles

thank you, I really appreciate it

This is a good article but I want to note that the page q_dork.itch.io/consume-me was never indexed since its 2018 publishing because it didn't meet minimum indexing requirements of having an uploaded file. It was not affected by the NSFW audit

Each participant must go to the bundle's URL to approve the bundle. No notifications are generated to prevent spam. If you go to the bundle's URL on your other account you will be able to approve the bundle.

I'll take a look, did you recently update or change your tax information on your account. That's the most common issue with a payout not being eligible to be sent.

Got a support ticket ID so I can investigate?

Yeah, it's a spammer/scammer. Cleaning it up right now

yeah, it's a scammer/spammer attacking the site. We'll be cleaning it up

Looks like the css isn't loading. I'm not able to reproduce it on my end

There was earlier this week but things should be restored now. Still seeing issues?

I actually went back to pgbouncer shortly after. pgcat was introducing a lot of per-query latency at the load level of the machine. I ended up provisioning a larger machine. We're still debugging some performance issues though so may experiment with pgcat again.

Just migrated @itch.io from Postgres 13 to 17. Everything working so far!
