My BOOTH got banned.

To All My Dear Supporters

Dear Everyone,

I am Dasein, and it is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of some deeply distressing news.

Just a few hours ago, BOOTH's management suddenly banned my main store, a decision that came as a complete shock and left me utterly unprepared. Following the same approach they took with my branch store, the main store has been permanently hidden and is irreversibly lost. Faced with this sudden turn of events, I have instantly lost both the important platform I had been operating for two years and a vital source of income. The grief and helplessness I feel are truly beyond words.

Despite my heavy heart, I must share some consoling news with you: all my creative content has been fully backed up on itch.io. If you are still willing to offer your support and encouragement, I humbly ask you to visit my itch.io page. Since most of my store's content consists of high-resolution 3.6x pixel image packs with large file sizes, the Ganknow platform may not be able to accommodate them. Therefore, I sincerely hope you can consider itch.io as your primary means of support.

Additionally, some friends have reported difficulties using PayPal for purchases on itch.io. From what I understand, this may be because itch.io currently only supports major currency types (such as USD, JPY, EUR, etc.). If your PayPal cannot process payments normally, I suggest trying to switch to other currency types for payment.

Looking toward the future, I will strive to transform myself and actively seek new creative models and directions for development. I am currently planning to provide more refined image works on the Dlsite platform, hoping to bring you even higher quality creative content.

In these difficult times, I want to express my most sincere gratitude to all of you who have continuously provided support and encouragement. Your support is my greatest motivation to continue creating, and I will persevere and not disappoint your expectations.

Respectfully yours,

Dasein


支援者の皆様へ

皆様

いつもお世話になっております、Daseinです。この度は、非常に心苦しいお知らせをしなければならず、重い気持ちでペンを取らせていただきました。

つい数時間前、BOOTH運営側から突然、私の本店も使用禁止処分を受けました。これは全く予期していなかった出来事で、私は完全に動揺しております。分店への対応と同様に、店舗本体が永久的に非表示となり、復旧は不可能となりました。この突然の出来事により、2年間運営してきた重要なプラットフォームと、生活の糧でもあった収入源を一瞬にして失い、その悲痛と無力感は言葉では表現できません。

このような辛い状況ではございますが、幸いにも全ての制作コンテンツはitch.ioに完全にバックアップされていることをご報告申し上げます。もし皆様が引き続きご支援をいただけるのであれば、恐れ入りますが私のitch.ioページにお越しください。本店のコンテンツは主に3.6倍ピクセルの高解像度画像パックで、ファイルサイズが大きいため、Ganknowプラットフォームでは対応が困難です。そのため、心より皆様にはitch.ioを主要な支援手段としてご利用いただければと存じます。

また、一部の方々からitch.ioでのPayPal決済に関してご不便をおかけしているとのご報告をいただいております。これは、itch.ioが現在USD、JPY、EUR等の主要通貨のみに対応していることが原因と思われます。PayPalでの支払いができない場合は、他の通貨種類への切り替えをお試しください。

今後につきましては、新しい創作モデルと発展方向を積極的に模索し、転換を図ってまいります。現在、Dlsiteプラットフォームでより精緻化された画像作品を提供することを計画しており、皆様により高品質な創作コンテンツをお届けできるよう努力いたします。

この困難な時期において、これまで継続してご支援とご励ましをいただきました皆様に、心より深く感謝申し上げます。皆様のご支援こそが、私が創作を続ける最大の原動力でございます。皆様のご期待に添えるよう、今後も精進してまいります。

何卒、今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます。

敬具

Dasein


致各位親愛的支持者

各位好,

我是Dasein,懷著沉重的心情向各位報告一個令人痛心的消息。

就在數個小時前,BOOTH營運方突然將我的本店予以禁用,這一決定如晴天霹靂般讓我措手不及。正如之前對分店的處置一樣,商店本體已被永久隱藏,且不可恢復。面對這突如其來的變故,我頓時失去了經營兩年的重要平台以及賴以維生的收入來源,內心的悲痛與無助實在難以言喻。

儘管心情沉重,但我仍要向各位報告一個令人稍感安慰的消息:所有創作內容都已在itch.io完整備份。若各位仍願意給予支持與鼓勵,懇請移步至我的itch.io頁面。由於本店內容多為3.6倍畫素的高解析度圖片包,檔案容量較大,Ganknow平台恐難以承載,因此誠摯希望各位能以itch.io作為主要的支持管道。

另外,有部分朋友反映在itch.io使用PayPal付款時遇到困難。經了解,這可能是因為itch.io目前僅支援主要貨幣種類(如USD、JPY、EUR等)的緣故。若您的PayPal無法正常支付,建議嘗試切換至其他貨幣種類進行付款。

展望未來,我將努力轉型,積極尋找新的創作模式與發展方向。目前正計劃在Dlsite平台上提供更加精緻化的圖片作品,希望能為各位帶來更優質的創作內容。

在這艱難的時刻,我要向一直以來給予我支持與鼓勵的各位表達最誠摯的謝意。您們的支持是我繼續創作的最大動力,我會堅持下去,不辜負各位的期待。

此致

敬禮

Dasein 敬上

I have a good idea: When I was checking out your new work, I noticed you mentioned a remake, and there's no doubt that the previous version has lost some of its appeal.

So you can try using Patreon or SubscribeStar to get people to keep subscribing so that their accounts can be connected to Itch, thereby obtaining these download permissions on Itch.

Please don't misunderstand, I am not hurting people's willingness to buy. Subscription is just a secondary promotion for those games that have lost their appeal. In fact, people are more willing to buy the remake version directly.

One more thing...

So far, my suggestion is not a good idea. You have been worried about the controversy over the appearance and age of the characters in your work. Perhaps you can distribute it through subscription.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, these subscription platforms are not feasible for me. Patreon has permanently banned my account, and SubscribeStar's official team doesn't approve my monetization eligibility.

Additionally, the old products were created using outdated models, and given the rapid advancement of AI, they are now obsolete. I don't think there's a need to put these old products on other platforms as subscription content, nor is there a necessity to launch a bundle for purchasing all the old products at once.

My current focus is on launching new series and creating content that can be sold on DLsite.

Nevertheless, I appreciate you bringing up these ideas.
