You get two weeks or two hours for a refund. If a developer stops working on a game valve will not refund you.
It does if the game is in early access. Which is the reason why most game are releasing in seasons lol.

I don't know where this discussion about Steam comes from but I wonder: Is it really profitable to publish a porn game on Steam? And are there really people who prefer to play it on Steam? Why?
I've seen some people say they prefer to purchase a game on Steam rather than donate through Patreon to support a VN. I think it comes down to a simple transaction for a product vs. a continuous stream of donations to a creator. It's a different mindset and in that mindset, Steam is just more cost-effective while still monetarily supporting the creator.

tldr; Put out a new build of the next chapter to patrons. Currently it stands at 887 new images, and three new animations. I've gotta clean some images up here and there and build out the last bit of the chapter, but I'd say the initial release is no more than two weeks away.

He's removing the age selection. The taboo patch adds the dark path and incest too
I don't know if there's a translation error or what going on, but you keep misunderstanding my point or telling me what I already know. Taboo patch adds age selection for a few characters -> he's removing this option from the taboo patch -> I don't want him to remove it. That's all, really.

What I'll prrrrrobably do is just leave the age as a variable, and if someone wants to they can just edit that variable to be what they want. This is one of those things where I've honestly had more people complain about it than tell me they like it.
Ah ok, nice compromise then! Although still a little unfortunate. I'm guessing these dark and risque games stir a constant wrestle between public perception, artistic integrity, and satisfying kinks or w/e, and I get why this particular option has gotten the execution order and why it's not a hill you've chosen to die on (though am honestly confused as to why people can tolerate virtual grape, yet virtual age selection is too far). I just hope other optional things don't get removed too at some point if enough people end up voicing their dislike :( I'll always support the big picture, though! I trust you've decided this is better for your game long-term and game's too good to get weighed down by ultimately minor stuff. (y)

I misunderstood, I thought you were saying he was removing the whole patch.

Honestly, the complaints were usually more mechanics-oriented. Like, "Why can I set her age to 99? That's dumb."

And the answer is that I never wanted to set a specific age range, because that would imply that I was okay with someone potentially setting it at the lower end of said range. But like I said, I think it just makes more sense for the story to remove it and make the affected characters 18.

The main exception being Mason, who asks MC how old he wants him to be. It'll still be removed in a potential Steam version down the line, because they're prickly about such things. But, I feel fine with Mason being canonically 20, but willing to say he's younger to please dark-path MC.
