IoM will no longer be available in Itch. 馃槩
Hello people, IoM will stop being offered on Itch immediately, of all the people on that platform who have decided to support the project and buy IoM, I have not received a penny for about a year, Itch does not respond to my emails or explain why they have withheld my payments for months.
I am not an isolated case, because in the Itch forums there are several developers claiming the same thing.
I know there are people here who, for supporting me more, buy the game on various platforms, to which I obviously thank them very much 馃檹, but don't support the game on Itch anymore, as the sales seem to go into an empty sack. (However, I blocked the possibility of buying the game, and even if someone wants to, they shouldn't be able to.)
This is my official post about this issue for the IoM Itch community in case you want to check it out: https://itch.io/blog/907980/iom-will-no-longer-be-available-in-itch-
It was my mistake to let several months to accumulate and then send the payment order, if someone is thinking of creating a game and publishing it on Itch, do not make my mistake and claim the money every month, lest you get a surprise as they have done to me and other developers.
And obviously, this doesn't affect the development of IoM, so don't worry 馃檪 the only thing is that it makes me lose a lot of time and also as you can imagine it annoys me.
It's time to continue developing IoM; our lovely Jennifer and Nina are waiting for me 馃槏馃挅馃槈.

Thanks and I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far Matthew!!! 馃ぉ Many 'good' things are coming... 馃槇馃槇馃槇
I never used Itch and after you sharing this post, I never will. That is just messed up for them to do. But mostly importantly, at least this wont effect your work with the awesome IoM! Keep up the great work, MarcialART! You have my support, friend. Cheers! 馃ぉ 馃敟 馃憤
Thanks Jonny Boy!!! I still don't understand this behavior from them. I hate losing time because there is so much to do and I only want to focus on IoM and not on things like this issue, but my motivation for IoM is intact! 馃ぉ馃ぉ馃ぉ Nothing can stop our lovely Jen!!! 馃槏馃槏馃槏
Nosotros siempre te apoyaremos por Patreon campe贸n. Y si yo fuera t煤 denunciaba a la plataforma de itch 驴qu茅 es eso de quedarse con todo el dinero del trabajo de otras personas? Faltar铆a m谩s con el esfuerzo que lleva a otros desarrolladores como t煤 en crear un bonito juego con una buena historia y con mujeres bell铆simas. Mi opini贸n es que tienen envidia del trabajo de otros. Pero siempre tendr谩s nuestro apoyo campe贸n.
Muchas gracias Joaquin!!! Seguir茅 insistiendo hasta que paguen, me molesta principalmente porque mucha gente quiere apoyar a un desarrollador y debido a un tercero, los pagos no se hacen y la personas no se enteran a menos que alguien lo diga. Por suerte mi Patreon es grande y s贸lido, pero hay algunos desarrolladores a los que cada c茅ntimo les ayuda a pagar sus gastos, especialmente los peque帽os y/o nuevos, y no es justo que les hagan esto. Pero por aqu铆 yo voy a tope con Jen y reclamando al mismo tiempo jaja 馃槣, un saludo Joaquiiinnn!!!
I'm really sorry to they've done this to you, I think I've bought ony a few games on there I hope that they all have been paid like hopefully you will in the future, it might be worth of you haven't taking it up with so sort of higher power for services not paid for or something to claim your money your owed? I really hope it comes to you and others it's happened to as well, you and they all deserve to be paid for grate games you all produce. Hopefully we can an look forward to see great games here thought at least here you'll be paid 馃槈
Thanks, Thumpa! I will keep emailing them, in the Itch forums, other developers are also writing about this issue, my guess is that this is happening to a small number of devs because if not, the forum would be flooded. 馃槄 If time keeps passing by and I get no reply, I will see what can be done about this situation. I'm going to be positive and think that this will be solved. 馃檪 I just want to focus on working on IoM. 馃槏 Thanks for your message, and let's hope this issue can be solved in a simple way. 馃檪
Si nesecitas alguna ayuda o algo h谩blame soy Dominicano un placer
Ok, muchas gracias 馃檹馃ぉ, por los momentos estoy bien. Es genial saber que hay gente de Dominicana por aqu铆! A Jen la aman en todo el mundo! 馃挅馃槏馃槏
La gente aprovech谩ndose del sudor del otro que pena lo siento mucho
Muchas gracias El_patron! S铆, la verdad es que no entiendo por qu茅 decidieron hacerle esto a varios desarrolladores, pero bueno, seguir茅 peleando con ellos para buscar una soluci贸n, el problema es que yo no quiero pelear, s贸lo quiero desarrollar IoM. 馃槏 Jeje.
Wow, that is not nice from them... *concerned face* Nope you are not up-to-date... Jennifer and Nina are not waiting for you, they are currently with me and waiting for me to join them ;-P
馃槻馃槻馃槻 Bad Hik! Gimme back Nina and Jen! 馃槣馃槈
I did not even know that you were on itch......
Hey Woody! 馃憢 Yep, from a long time ago. Luckily, I didn't mention it a lot, so there were fewer people there compared to Patreon. 馃檪
I'm sorry to about that. I'm here to support you, both on Steam and Patreon.
Thanks Sandmanz! 馃檪
Bad to hear it. I hope you have more luck with the other platforms.
Thanks, Yettas! I have 0 problems like this on the other platforms, so that's the good part. 馃檪
I'm sorry to hear that. What makes me sad is people are paying money to get the game in honest way, instead of illegally downloading them from some website. Hopefully this will resolve in one way or another, and won't happen again in the future, or in other platform. Speaking of platform, I kinda wonder how the sales going in Oppaiman website? I just discovered that my country recently banned access to that website (for obvious reason). Now that's kinda sucks, since there are some interesting titles that I only find in Oppai's site.
Yep, I agree with you GRRM, also some people want to support a dev and in cases like this, that support vanishes. As a developer I try to be very clear and honest, so if I see that people can be losing money, I prefer to stop the sales on that platform. I will be keep sending emails to them to see if I get any reply, but there are many other developers in their forums asking about this issue. Oppaiman is a good site for visibility. Also, the team behind it is doing an amazing job in my opinion, they look very dedicated and with a lot of passion. I was not aware it was banned in some countries 馃槸 what a shame, they are building a very solid and good platform.
