i'm not sure what do you mean by "modified too heavily to be patch", it's his game and he would know better how to patch it, furthermore even if what you say is right, there still DLsite version which already R18 as it isFrom what I've learned so far he's a liar. There will be no external patch for Steam version cause it's gonna be modified way too heavily to patch that. He also kept deleting all my comments with questions about it using as excuse that they violate Steam's ToS (I read it through and through - it's BS).
If it was a bot - I'd receive a community message about any violation (I know that for sure). DLsite is not available in my country, only Steam. And he literally said that he erased all traces of "funny content" from steam version (he even modified parts of the game that suppose to lead to it). It was never a problem to ask about external patch with other games (and no bot was deleting anything in forums with "all ages" mark - so he did lied about it).i'm not sure what do you mean by "modified too heavily to be patch", it's his game and he would know better how to patch it, furthermore even if what you say is right, there still DLsite version which already R18 as it is
as for comment deletion on Steam, he said it's mostly done by bot, not that i can proof it is by bot
he is going to erase all "funny content" for Steam version, he mentioned this long ago. And he is NOT the only dev who did this for hentai games, Kagura games did it to all games they selling and they are NOT the first one who did the "external patch" trend either, it was Nekopara.If it was a bot - I'd receive a community message about any violation (I know that for sure).

Most of the games you're talking about are on RPG Maker or straight up VNs - they are simple to patch. This one is full 3D with complex animations and stuff.he is going to erase all "funny content" for Steam version, he mentioned this long ago.

So back to my question, how does it being "too heavy to be patch"? Once again, Kagura games does it, you should see how much the difference between all-ages and post-patch game they selling. So no, there will be external patch, what i fear however is that people will break the requirement he state so quickly that he will keep his word of stop distributing the patch completely, off from internet, forever, unless some of us manage to nab it and share it here...
asking for external patch is okay in Steam on other games? sure i believe you. But this dev clearly don't and quite paranoid about it, and rather take extra caution against it. Hence warning people to NOT discussing it, not that i believe people will follow...
DLsite is not available in your country? i'm not sure where you live but DLsite almost never block country until recently thanks to the infamous CC company so now all underage stuff cannot be accessed unless you have JP ip but i slightly digress, the thing is Aideal is still available regardless the case i just mentioned, i literally double check it without JP ip VPN while typing this
the thing is, i don't think dev are those type that you mention, he make good game but just have terrible communication skill to dealing with customer, kinda obvious from how he doesn't take any input from everyone. Also i'm pretty sure this "external DLC" is just a whole project file of the game that he will told you to slap on Steam version to overwrite everything to make it all worked. Overwrite the graphic, animation, gameplay, etcMost of the games you're talking about are on RPG Maker or straight up VNs - they are simple to patch. This one is full 3D with complex animations and stuff.I can bet my buttthat the moment the game releases he'll roll out a post with wall of BS text and how he unable to provide the patch. My opinion on it is that he wants to lure people to buy it falsely hoping that there is gonna be a patch. I might be wrong - I won't deny it.
I can give you examples of many of those games if you want. You can read their topics by yourself and see that I'm not making this up.
It's not DLsite is unavailable in my country, but the payment methods it's using. It's too much of a headache to find a workaround for it and now it's where I don't want to bring attention of my country authorities to myself. I should have specified details, sorry about that.
As I said - I might be wrong. Only time will tell.the thing is, i don't think dev are those type that you mention, he make good game but just have terrible communication skill to dealing with customer, kinda obvious from how he doesn't take any input from everyone.

let me research on these games you trying to point out, pass me their names
i don't think your country authorities would have times to bother with arresting you for possession of pornography, they would rather nab taxpayer money and buy some villa instead. Trust me, i live in one, my library is growing and they haven't catch me. and i already have dozens of alternative method ready at hands rather than relying on single payment method like Vishit or Masturdcard, if you live in Asia i could share most of these method if you want
checked most of them, especially big fish like Chevalier, no they are not, they have their patch ready in Kagura/Otaku official website ready for grab, unless i miss some kind of drama that you're trying to point out here, but they are not "too heavy to be patch"As I said - I might be wrong. Only time will tell.
Most of those games are from publishers you mentioned already like Kagura Games or OTAKU Plan: Alternate DiMansion Diary, Chevalier Historie, Demon Sword: Incubus, The Monstrous Horror Show and so on. Some games even have 2 versions both on Steam, like Last Devil, Humiliation Dungeon Survivors or Sexy Mystic Survivors.
All I can say is that I live in Russia.
It was about discussions about external patches for games that not marked as NSFW, not about how hard to patch them or anything.checked most of them, especially big fish like Chevalier, no they are not, they have their patch ready in Kagura/Otaku official website ready for grab, unless i miss some kind of drama that you're trying to point out here, but they are not "too heavy to be patch"
few of those game like Last Devil are done by Mango Party, idiots who don't bother with doing external patch and just slap the whole damn thing on Steam and pray everything works fine, result? some of the game that feature underage humanoid got boot out. This is different breed case
They don't care up until weird money transfers involved. It's a "roulette" situation simply speaking and I just don't wanna play it.i see, i'm very pretty sure they are too busy doing something else than catching you for porn possession
This is wrong, German IP's get blocked for legal reasons when trying to access DLsite. Same reason Germans can't see porn games in the Steam store. The issue is that they would have to implement real age verification methods, which they refuse to do so they just block access. DLsite actually just redirects you to Google lol.i'm not sure where you live but DLsite almost never block country until recently thanks to the infamous CC company
simple, it's notI've played the full version of this game before, so I'm a bit confused seeing it now listed as "Early Access" on Steam. What exactly did I play before, and why is it entering Early Access at this point?
pretty much, dev claim despite the Steam version being all-ages version it will be a unique stand of it's own compare to DLsite R18, but i doubt there's that much difference in content just because all R18 stuff got omittedso in short the steam ver is the inferior version then. no reason to buy/play it compared the one finished 1.9.3 ver
Almost literally what I said hereso... a sour news from dev...

there's no progress report, more on public relation
it appears people react negatively on dev decision with external DLC distribution (what a surprise), to the point they outright says "we will discourage people from buying your game", and dev took this personally, claiming he's no longer mentally stable after soo long developing games and this almost serve as nail to the coffin. As such, he decided to not distributing external DLC, he's not sorry for this because from the beginning he told everyone that this DLC was never meant for commercial and that Steam version meant to be all-ages version with it's own different standing.
for closing, dev said this doesn't mean he won't develop any R18 game anymore, he will continue with his own agenda.
i kinda expect the DLC to not lasted 24 hour after upload, but this is taking the piss...
I can bet my buttthat the moment the game releases he'll roll out a post with wall of BS text and how he unable to provide the patch. My opinion on it is that he wants to lure people to buy it falsely hoping that there is gonna be a patch.
