A new website for my games
Friends!
I was recently contacted by a guy who has just created a new website for NSFW games. By chance, I ended up being the first developer he reached out to - and the first who agreed to upload my games to his (at that moment completely empty) platform and help him test the registration and game-upload process.
Here’s the link: https://redulse.com/
For a few days, my games were the only ones on the site (which honestly looked quite beautiful). I mentioned it in our nsfw-devs community, and a few other developers have already responded and uploaded their games as well.
The key difference is that all payments are done in cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, crypto is still not very popular, and that will likely limit the flow of buyers. But on the other hand, at this point it’s the only truly reliable way to escape the constant whims of traditional payment processors.
The site’s creator is a very pleasant and responsive person. We discussed several optimization points, and he was implementing changes literally within minutes, in real time. He even bought my games himself to demonstrate how the payment system works.
So - let’s wish him good luck!
What do you think: does a crypto-only game marketplace stand a chance of becoming popular and generating real income? Would you personally pay for a game you really liked using cryptocurrency? The instructions for creating a crypto wallet are provided, and it took me about five minutes.

I think if the website would promise to pay with cash, there would also be a bunch of people who would use that. This seller doesn't have my dedicated way to pay, but who knows. Some people maybe just hoped for something like that.
I am very glad that someone else is also stepping up to help Indie game developers. The more the better IMO. I did not see any ability to rate a game on the site, which I think would be a good idea. Ignore that, there is a way, but the reviews do not seem to be visible. Maybe there just are none yet. As for c***to this is very complex for me. I looked into this before, and where I live, any attempt to buy c***to raises a bunch of red flags that could create a world of problems that none of us want. They (and I mean the government, the banks and the credit providers) monitor this all very closely. They watch every money transfer of any kind, including cash. Since I don't make much as it is, I do not want them going after what I do have and I also do not want them chasing anyone else down either.
