Thank you. I host all my games on itch.io. It's a friendly community that's generally into more alternative approaches to game design. https://farfama.itch.io/

I really love the aesthetic of your games. Would you mind sharing what tools you use to create them? I've been interested in spending more time on game development as a hobby recently.

By the way you may want to consider Godot as a starting engine. Not only because it's open source (so no shady business practices), but it also is focused on being specifically a game engine. Unity tries to be an everything engine and has lots of broken, bloated, and unfinished features. The simplicity of Godot adds a lot of much needed constraints to development. You're not constantly wrestling with the engine. I'm deep into Unity now but if I were to start all over I'd go with Godot.

> an old torrent site which had the policy to upload more than you download This is still how private trackers work

There is no way to make it work. It isn't mathematically possible to achieve. Somebody's cheating, or there is some other way, like people getting kicked and invited continuously.

In private tracking communities, it's commonly known that those with unusually high sharing ratios likely use seedboxes, which is often seen as unfair.

No, I mean it isn't possible for all users to get their upload above their download. Either somebody is literally cheating (and never gets caught) or you just repeatedly invite and kick new users (who take the negative upload away as they get kicked).
