Save your troubles with Steam, they aren't worth it, many H game devs, has been staying away from them.We plan to release it on Steam, FAKKU, Nutaku, MangaGamer, DLSite, Eroges.com, JAST, Denpasoft, Mikandi, Itch.io, Gamejolt, and just about everywhere else you can think ofas well as Patreon itself, of course.
Its probably worth the effort. Steam presumably would increase exposure and sales substantially. Also, FF is on the tamer end of the spectrum of adult games and will probably get through fairly cleanly.
You have been living under a rock huh.... Steam is not a good place for game with any sex content at all lately.. FAKKU, Nutaku, MangaGamer, DLSite, Eroges.com, JAST and Denpasoft as well, are the best places for games with sex content, Steam has been even banning H-Games lately and has done a-lot in last year... They are better off at other places, than on Steam, till Steam fixes up their damn shit and gets their acts all together...
In the full game there'll be lots of powerups, so it'll be much easier if you use powerups wellthat secret room in jason bill's custom map was so hard I used ce to beat it.
increased my health to a big number to beat it.
damn ce is out of question then I should start practicing my skills for when the game is out
This has been greatly blown out of proportion; in the time that Steam has allowed adult games on the service, they have banned a total of under 10 games, while allowing many more games on with bestiality, rape, necrophilia, tentacles, incest, you name it. I can't count on both hands and feet how many H game devs I know who put their game up on Steam and sold perfectly fine with it, no troubles, no bans, no nothing.

The only games that got banned off the service fall into two categories;
1) Underage characters either through blatant means (whether they have sex or not is irrelevant, if the game has sexually implied or sexually suggestive images of those characters, you're getting hit) or through saying the game's characters are "all depicted as 18+" which is a dead giveaway to steam that they're not (and even if they are, people who post that = nuked)
2) Characters in high school settings, as an offset of #1
Whether you agree with the policies or not is completely up to you, but the fact of the matter is, Steam is objectively far less restrictive than ANY other platform in existence when it comes to adult content besides DLSite, and DLSite ENG and JPN both require you to censor your work visually (as well as taking 40% minimum profits, up to 80% total, and having a fraction of Steam's userbase).
Plus, the "troubles" that come with putting your stuff on Steam is the same as any other service, in that you upload it to their specifications, go through their rules, the end. If we get banned off Steam, then that's not really going to somehow cripple us elsewhere, it'd suck, but not trying to get your game on Steam because of a few people who got banned for rules 1 and 2 above when your games have neither of those would be pretty much shooting yourself in the foot.
And as was talked about up above, our stuff is relatively tame compared to stuff that's gotten on there that's far more extreme and has had no issues selling and staying on the service.
Can you get me a list? I've been keeping up and I've seen less than 10.
They still do. There are still countless adult games on there.
You can do this on Steam, too. The difference is, you don't need the patch, because you don't need to censor anything there. (You don't need to on JAST either, but yeah.)
No, they do not, under Japanese law, which is where DLSite is situated. If your game goes up uncensored, they'll ban it; I know this because I have a game on DLSite that I had to re-censor more and more excessively, with back and forth builds being sent to them, before they were satisfied with the censoring.
Literally assumptions, with zero proof one way or the other because none of us work at Steam and have no idea what Steam's actual policies are with this stuff and who is giving the orders (or if anyone else is giving the orders). Many companies like this have orders being brought down from on high and people at the employee level you're talking about are forced to enact those rules whether they want to or not.
It's highly likely that you need DirectX if you just reinstalled Windows; just google "Download DirectX for Windows 7" or something similar, that'd be my best guess.
Not currently, unless you're using the level editor; we'll likely have cheats in for later versions of the game, though.
Ooh. That's interesting. I would love to get an idea of how you will detect that. Surely there's not a way to 100% detect CE usage? If you don't want to share, that's fine as well. Keep it fair and all.Also, about the cheat engine thing, we'll probably have an ending that appears if people use that, too.
Why not simply freeze your health instead of putting it at a high number? And I remember having some trouble finding stuff like health with CE. Or maybe that was justthat secret room in jason bill's custom map was so hard I used ce to beat it.
increased my health to a big number to beat it.
It would just get detected if anything was outside of the normal range of things; for example, if you set health orbs to heal you for 2x and you don't have a powerup equipped that lets you do that, we'd have a check for that.
