PLEASE AVOID CROSS-TAGGING! (And 0.0.3 update list)


Hey folks, Reece here. I'm writing to you today with a bit of a personal request for when you're interacting with/making content about 'SnaggeMon', with a good reason for telling you.

PLEASE do not associate this game with NSFW, 18+ or sexually explicit content or projects!

Since the original 'SnaggeMon' demo was released, one or two video creators have been cross-tagging their video playthroughs of the game with another, much more popular male-lead dating sim project that's very NSFW with explicit content, by way of the video's tags and/or the titles. Now it's understandable why this game in particular was mentioned, but there is no association between 'SnaggeMon'. We asked the creators of these videos to remove mention of this project from the tags and titles, but they have so far continued to do so—and yesterday they tagged a different game in their new video, an affiliation that we do not agree with for several reasons.

Now here's why this matters… For some reason, this game has been marked as 'containing sensitive content'. This is very, very disappointing because we made sure that there was no explicit content or even graphic violence in this game, by design. Strong language, maybe. Moments of emotional openness and flirtatious language, sure, but when's that ever been 'sensitive'? We've already emailed itch.io to figure out why this happened, but so far our only assumption is that this game was deemed sensitive by association to other projects.

But beyond that, we want to let everyone enjoy this game. We don't want to expose minors or underage players to sensitive or adult content. We don't want them to go looking for 'SnaggeMon' content and stumble upon adult content because their algorithms were influenced by unrelated tags. We do our best to avoid discussion of NSFW projects and content in the official Discord server, as a general rule of conduct, and we have a 16+ age role to make sure people are aware of who's in the room.

We're doing our best, and we ask that you help us in that goal.

Phew… Okay, now that I've brought everyone down… Here's what's gonna be new in 0.0.3, which we hope to release over/after the weekend:

  • Bug fixes - specifically an advised solution to an issue where trying to save the game would cause it to freeze; adjustments to video and audio content that caused the loops to stutter and blink in the WebGL build; placement issues when layering sprites in certain scenes; attempts to fix problems with displaying videos on certain platforms; and general optimization fixes.
  • Corrections to voice line errors and typos.
  • An updated SnagRing sprite!

Thanks! We'll see you in a few days!
