First of all, if you are reading this, that mean’s you are helping in my efforts to release Heavy Hearts to the world in it’s complete form, defiant in the face of censorship.
As you likely have heard, payment processors such as Visa & Mastercard have threatened to debank multiple sites that host adult content. In a knee-jerk reaction, many of them fully disabled adult video games.
As a result, about 50% of Heavy Heart’s revenue collapsed almost immediately. Surprisingly, Patreon and Substar are still holding us afloat. It is incredibly uncertain how this will proceed.

If you are able to, please subscribe. As of now, this platform is the only one that generates revenue for the game and I cannot afford to pay my partners at this rate. I have a lot of followers, many of which are not financially capable of supporting the game. I get it.

But if you are able to, a few bucks from a lot of people will keep this game afloat.

That being said, here is where we stand:

Itchio is basically dead for adult games. HH’s traffic went from high to abysmal overnight. If you own the game on that platform, it will continue receiving updates, however, It doesn’t seem feasible to promote any longer.

We have joined SAIKEY as a new platform to sell on. You can find it here: https://saikeystudios.com/product/heavy-hearts/

As of Tuesday, August 19th, we have officially submitted the build to Steam. As it goes through the review process, I keep my fingers crossed tight that it makes it through the censors. If you have both of your hands, please cross your fingers for me too!

This is a copy of the previous subscriber only post, with the WIPS and additional notes removed. It would really keep the game going if you subscribed. We need it now more than ever.

As of today, itchio has delisted Heavy Hearts and all other adult games. This is significantly devastating because itchio accounted for about 50% of the game's development revenue.

I'm not sure what this means for Heavy Heart's future. I do know that this is going to hurt. The last thing I want is for this game to be put on hiatus.

If you have followed Heavy Hearts, and have enjoyed the game. I'm asking for your support in this hard time. Consider becoming a supporter on my game page, so that this game will see the light of day.

I will be opening up a new, low cost tier for people need it and will be sharing information and pictures to it for you in this hard time.

Mentioned many times in the game's lore, Barriq is the reason all of this started in the first place. You will meet him for the first time in the next update! Barriq is an Ancient Taurean mage, who founded the dark order. He has a longstanding connection with Priscilla. Although he founded void magic, it is unclear if he is maleficent in nature. When standing next to many members of the team, they barely stand above his beltline.
