". One of the well known publishers that exclusively publishes porn games. From the store page, I can see they have around 24 games that have already been released (excluding the demos and unreleased games).

Shouldn't the publisher have handled this? Or informed the developer that this can happen since they already have experience on publishing these games?

I talked about this yesterday in this thread but my posts got quietly deleted, go figure. Also there's nothing stopping Mirthal from releasing it on Patreon and itchio on time

 

[jackofshadows]

Well, maybe the deal with publisher stops from that. Or maybe the dev himself thinks it's beneficial tp him to release it simultaneously on all platforms.

Any idea of the price in Steam?

Sometimes it's not even what you say but if what you say is relevant or actually makes part of a huge argument that could be taken to DMs (like your message or mine could end up delete if someone report them and they got consider irrelevant since if anyone wants to know what can or not be deleted there are thread with all details, somewhere).

LOL looks like porn games publishers only add trash launchers, bundles and cross-promotions into games
Also delay releases.

Not entirely true. I bet he want most sales to be from Steam because bigger commission is nothing compared to become trending in charts.
Steam is immensely huge compared to Patreon and Itch, one time sales there make devs more money, than 4 years of Patreon milking if the game is good.

Just hope they don't face the same fate than the femboy roommate game that got rejected by Steam after his demo being live for a while. It just takes one stupid reviewer to tople your schedule and plans

In the perfect world - yes, they should, they get money for that. In our reality though devs tend to drill a hole in their heads, flush their brain down the toilet and then making contract with some shiteater of a company(without reading the fucking terms). If aurelia got a publisher and it is experienced publisher and the project got delayed because of some internal process and it is a surprise for dev - he either didnt read shit or got fooled by some shitty publisher. Which means he is a moron. Or he is lying.

Not even right for Aurelia, it goes release.version.fix/tweak, the current uploaded one is 0.31.0. And either way, it's just one of the ways to go about it. It's a more common approach, but not a definitive one. Versioning is completely arbitrary. And in this case what I believe is the topic of the discussion is some people thinking how far the version number is from 1.0.0 is an indication of completeness.

I wasn't speaking about Aurelia in particular but about video games outside of the AVN world in general. I know it doesn't have to do with what we're dealing with here, I just wanted to point out that versioning actually does mean something in theory. But you are correct, lots of AVN authors go by their own standards and don't seem to respect any kind of "architecture" on that side.

 

[Kisama33]

I really hope this happens now.

Not a very clever way of thinking, don't know what would you possible win with that.

The game would not release sooner, they would rather take even more time to address whatever concerns Steam had wth the game to make it fit their "guidelines", which means even more delays, and during that time the dev would be getting a few more extra cash thanks to Patreon supporters for nothing (something that you already manifested a couple of times that concerns you by the way).

While version naming rules aren't strictly mandatory, they are rules for a reason. Problem is - most of porn games devs don't have developer experience and for some reason think that their brilliant naming rules are the best. In the end we have clowns with v0.1 initial release, v0.35 when main plot added, v0.5 when some bugs fixed - and then SUDDENLY v1.0 without any additions. Or braindeads like shitpurple who changed version naming twice or thrice already - with no actual scenes or progression added. Any adequate dev looks at them like he's looking at random shitpile. Because if you're not adequate enough to follow simple rules to make you progression clear - who can say if you're adequate enough to make any decent project? There is old saying about what is in the vessel and what flows from it.

While version naming rules aren't strictly mandatory, they are rules for a reason.

There are no conventions that say you shouldn't jump from v0.5 to v1.0. It's perfectly fine to label the big release as v1.0 even if the time process building up to it doesn't go linearly from 0.1, 0.2, ... 0.8, 0.9, 1.0.

A good laugh? The whole Steam screwup is some pretty entertaining hubris on its own; if the game never releases on Steam after all that the levels of schadenfreude will be off the charts

Y'all need to stop throwing tantrums and badmouthing the devs for a delay that was out of their control. You got no loyalty, one little thing goes wrong and you're directly insulting their intelligence and acting like you've always thought they were incompetent and the game is bad. This is a very good game from a very good team, calm the fuck down and grow the fuck up.

It wasn't. Before signing the papers, anyway.

You got no loyalty

"Loyalty" leads to being a paypig and endorsing of never ever finished projects which are thriving on paypig/simp mentality.

grow the fuck up.

It's you who should to grow the fuck up. Vote with your wallet and your wallet only, act in customer interests. Stop being a massive cuck. Yes, this is a very good game. That still doesn't mean one should suck dev's cock 24/7.

Lol game should have been finished in fucking March, give me a break
