Thank you both.

As a massive fan of metroidvanias and 2d scrollings in general, I was looking for difficulty.
Yeah, the core game we designed to be fairly forgiving (infinite lives, health drops from enemies, powerups that allow for broken combinations), since most NSFW games don't ask for nearly the amount of physical coordination/dexterity that we're asking for, so we wanted to ease people into the idea of a NSFW game having this kind of gameplay in it.

That may sound kind of weird to say in 2022, but when we started in 2015, as far as western action NSFW games went, there was literally only Anon42, Kyrieru, Vosmug, and us making these types of games. So it was a very alien (and ironically very disliked) concept in the West at the time, but nowadays you have lots and lots of people making them, which I'm happy to see.

To compensate for making things not that hard in the core game though, you can expect at least one of the DLC map packs to be very, very hard stuff (and I don't mean "unfair" hard, I mean "requires a lot of skill to get through").

super excited for the 22nd aka Submit-To-Steam-But-Not-Necessarily-Release-Day-Due-To-The-Review-Process-Which-Can-Take-One-Day-Or-Even-Several-Weeks-Depending-On-Any-Changes-That-Need-To-Be-Made Day.

Steam says in the faq ( ) that it takes 1-5 days for the review, so that's probably what to expect provided the game passes the review.

is the game already out? have I lived up to this.
What omp said, but akso, when the game is out, trust me, you'll know :p

Steam says in the faq ( ) that it takes 1-5 days for the review, so that's probably what to expect provided the game passes the review.
For context, when we got the Electric Level Public Demo on there, it took them about 5 days just to review that, so with the full game...

Mas It submitted already?
We'll be submitting it later today, but honestly, I'm not gonna celebrate at all until it's actually accepted; I don't wanna jinx it, so I probably won't be talking about the actual submission/results much besides "accepted" or "rejected" because I've gotten fairly superstitious about this after it taking so long to get to this point, hahaha...

I hope they don't cut the game.
I think we'll be fine; worst case, we'll get rejected this time around for not having enough content in that matches the store page, so then we'll just resubmit at that point since we're still working on it every day even once we've submitted it.

So that'd be like a week or more on average to hear back from them about this submission, then we'd re-submit again a week or so later with much more content done, hope we get in, etc.

But yeah, I'll keep everyone updated of course. (Discord is even better for faster updates, btw; )

yea ok but that is considering steam doesn't want anything changed before release

I think it’s better to release the game in early access then, it seems to me that are more chances to pass without problems. You still say that you will update something in the game.

We can't do Early Access, as you have to start your game off in Early Access from the get-go; transitioning to it down the line is impossible in most cases, and we're definitely one of those cases.

Regardless of the status of the submission and on acceptance of the game, congratulations on the submission!
I'm sure it's a weight lifted to know that regardless of the outcome you submitted it the day you said you would. Hope everything goes smoothly from here on out.
Admittedly, it's not really much of a weight off our shoulders because that'll only happen once it's actually accepted; when that happens, then I can finally take a sigh of relief I've been holding back for years and years now.

Yeah, it went up like the day before we initially got the store page on Steam, hell of a coincidence
