Ren'Py Bright Past [v1.004] [Kosmos Games]

[HECABN]

Does anyone know why I can't do the "take a photo on the nude beach in a swimsuit" mission? I already have both the swimsuit and the courage.

Where can I buy the car? I have plenty of money in both "ways," so to speak: in person and on the card.

 

[Thor875]

Help please. I can`t find the 3. XX-Art Comic/Magazin.

I think the game is officially banned from Steam now . It has disappeared from my wishlist.

Yes, sadly the game has been banned from Steam, presumably another victim of their vague, to say the least, method of communicating issues and excessive intransigence towards errors:

I remain convinced that if a good number of developers, alongside their community, got together to create a petition to make the review system for adult games on Steam more user-friendly, perhaps also mentioning the fact that body types such as flat and petit exist, at least a message could be conveyed. Since the Early Access for NSFW games issues on Steam, this would at least help devs publishing their completed games on the store more comfortably.
Because, and I don't know if this is even a further argument, but it's almost inconceivable to me that games that are on Patreon are instead banned on Steam, given how notoriously strict Patreon is about these things.

Friends, I want to share something important. The Steam release of Bright Past won’t happen: after a series of fixes and attempts to meet the requirements, the platform has permanently blocked the project. That’s a hit to both a dream and the financial plan. But the game and our community remain.
What this means:

• I’ll keep supporting Bright Past with small, self‑contained updates. That includes not only new bits, but also fixes, polish, and finishing work on existing content.
• In parallel, I’m moving forward with a new project — Esterium Project. It gives me energy and a sense of forward motion.
• I’m also calmly working on a remaster of my older parody game, Lust Affect — a “slow” series and a space to experiment with AI tools.

How you can help right now:

• I'll be conducting several surveys soon to understand your expectations and preferences. Please participate and leave comments about what you’d like to see next.
• Share your thoughts on the Esterium Project demo and your interest in the remaster.
• If it feels appropriate, share this post where it might help the project.

Thank you for being with me. The path is changing, but the goal is the same — to make games I can be proud of and support a community we can be proud of. If you have questions, leave them in the comments — I’ll read and reply.

So, which girls have ending?
I'm only being given option of Bonnie, Val and Snake.

Ruby is stuck on "Go to cinema with Ruby" quest, and never progresses.

EDIT: Nevermind, it progressed after getting 40 points. With a scene I've seen already...ah well.
And her ending is still not available...well damn.

After a few days of my steam wishlist being down, logged in today to find this game gone. Trying to wrap my head around how this suddenly got banned on steam myself because I don't see anything in this game that can be construed as underage or incest which leaves us with maybe dubious consent??? I don't know honestly. Since the reviewers don't have to say WHY a game gets banned without being highly ambiguous, we can only guess. My guess without seeing the letter to the dev is "Mary did it".

The endings are:
1) Bonnie; 2) Ruby; 3) Valerie; 4) Barbara; 5) Ruby+Valerie+Barbara; 6) Ruby+Valerie+Barbara+Bonnie (although here (in the ending scene) Bonnie is not shown, but only mentioned)

, it appears that the ban was for "sexualized images of real people":

In my case, I'm not sure the issue is related to payment systems. Support repeatedly found allegedly sexualized images of real people in my game, but no one gave me any specifics. I deleted everything that could resemble real people, including realistic AI images, but it didn't help. Ultimately, after about five months, my game was permanently banned without any specifics.

In that regard, I'd like to point out that real people don't even need to be depicted in sexual situations to get the game banned; a poster or an image on a TV is enough to trigger it.
Lednah's MILFtopia was banned from Steam at the end of October 2024 precisely because there were images of real people on random posters around some rooms. Furthermore, at the end of April, Novel's Boundaries of Morality was banned from Steam because the reviewer failed to distinguish AI-enhanced models, and animations, from real people.
This is another thing that Steam staff should be made aware of, especially given the continued improvement of these AI capabilities that will make these types of distinctions increasingly difficult.

Okay, that would explain it then. I'm pretty sure there was a game banned a long time ago due to someone wearing a KISS t-shirt in the game (which showed the band members). So real images shown on a poster/tv etc would definitely do it. Sucks that this results in a ban though, cause removing those images would be pretty easy to do. This is why I agree with your earlier statement that dev's should get a chance to remove content before a hard ban.

I'ts really demential that a game is banned for even showing "real people" in a not sexualized way.
With this reasoning, you show an actual US Dollar and you get banned for showing the face of George Washington?

Some people have farts in their head.

100k people buying game on Steam for 2-4 dollars, Steam making in commissions about 6-10k dollars
7 month later some guy calling uncle Robert, hey, I have a game where is dude in Music Studio looks exactly like you
1 month later lawsuit for 1 million dollars against developer and Steam to using real person identity in porn-game
Settlement for 100-200kk dollars.
End of story
