Unfortunate news has come to my attention that Itch.io has made a sudden and undisclosed change to its entire platform, effectively shadowbanning all content with adult tags or ratings on it. As Svellera (my furry expansion DnD system) is an adults-only project, it too has been hit with this, having been hidden from standard searches seemingly overnight without any prior notice. While these projects are still technically available, they have been made impossible to find unless you actively locate my profile.

I am obviously upset at suddenly being put in a position where all my work is more or less being completely cut off from any form of new engagement. This has made it to where external promotion would be the only way Svellera can further grow its audience, should I choose to remain on Itch.io. However, I am also concerned for my fellow creators who have also been impacted. I have seen that multiple projects of both Devteam Drifter and Red Deer Studio have been hidden, and it appears as if multiple furry-adjacent tags like fatfur are seemingly responsible.

I will keep you all posted on any updates I may be able to provide in a timely manner. If I end up swapping platforms, that will be mentioned in time. For now, I ask to please spread awareness of what is happening to the site to other creators you know of who happen to post to Itch.io.
