ItchIO may stop using IO domain due to certain issues with the whole IO sector.
Yesterday, indie developers took to social media with concerns about the possible end of the .io domain, used by Itch.io, Github.io, and the URLs for a number of tech and game industry websites. The domain (assigned to the UK-occupied Chagos Islands by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) is likely to be retired following a recently signed UK treaty that will transfer the territory to the nearby nation of Mauritius.

Narrative notes in games: you either love them or hate them, nothing else 😅
Keep in mind for your own games that such notes only work if everything else is on the same level and reading isn't distracting from more entertaining gameplay.

The Internet Archive has been under a long attack by book publishers. The website lost in court and was forced to erase many records related to free book storages.
🤔 Oddly enough, soon after that the wayback machine got under hackers attack:
The site is under DDoS and also faced security breach losing data of 31 million users. The source of the breach is an outdated #JavaScript library

Some of my #Screenshots from #AssassinsCreed Valhalla — they failed miserably in main story writing but did a very good job in environments, weather, and lighting.
Also it's funny that the game was clearly planned for limited stamina climbing at some point and then they gave up on it (so you can climb infinitely and parkour doesn't make any sense).

New day — new drama! The team behind WordPress (open source website engine) is attacking WP Engine — the second most profitable commercial platform for its users. And their actions seem illegal at this point.
Reminds me of how #GodotEngine attacking #RedotEngine (the only difference is that Redot isn't making money, while WP gets $450m/year)
But also, hear me out: #WordPress is crap and always was — it's slow and all WP websites look nearly identical. Drupal is the only popular tool that truly allow people to build CUSTOM websites with no code (thanks to Views) and all Drupal sites look unique and made with purpose.

GOG decided to reply to Valve, reminding that games on GOG are DRM free and can't be taken away from the user.
Before that Valve under pressure of several local regulations started to show a small warning during the purchase: they are now clearly saying that you are not buying games on Steam and will only have a digital license for it.

Also, in reality #Steam fully supports DRM free games and their installed versions can run without Steam at all (which for many developers' license agreements isn't breaking any rules).
The reason why Valve added the notification comes from new registrations and fines, not a certain change in the status of your games.
