Asumi: 3.
1 - Eh, honestly like more....endowed girls in bunny suits.
2 - This feels like a random arrangement of clothes rather than a outfit, do like the bikini though.
3 - I forgot the name of it, but it's usually added to a bikini not that kind of swimsuit but I still like it.
4- Cozy, 2nd fav.

Chiaki: 1.
1 - A rabbit theme fits her more than a fox one but, overall I like it.
2 - Holiday idol-like outfit, very fitting.

Noriko: 2.
1 - Spy girl, what's not to like?
2 - I really love simple yet attractive outfits like this.
3 - Eh.......
4 - F/GO fan so this instantly made me think of Elisabeth Halloween, for better or worst.

Sakura: Yes.
1 - I love it, next.
2 - Looks like a maid outfit so I love it, next.
3 - One of my favorite characters (visually) from that series so I love it.

Yasuka: Yasuka.
1 - I mean, it's Yasuka.

That wasn't even the problem, I only learned about it recently, the real reason is actually ridiculous.

The first time I put Extra Life on steam I had the interface in French, and the tags I chose for the game were "dating sim" + "high school", college in France means school from 12 to 15 years old.

This misunderstanding resulted in an immediate ban.
Gonna be real here, if the game doesn't take place IN a school there's no reason to give it a school tag regardless if the characters are in school.
On the bright side, there's a chance that they just looked at the tags and gave you the ban without even looking at your game. If so, there's a way for you to get a do over.
First, get a vpn and create a new account.
Second, rather than using your user name create something like a studio name "Aho Games" or something. (Do not use something similar to RNGeusEX)
Third, repost the game using the same name but a different language but give hints so that fans will know it's you "Sayonara Eien: Goodbye Eternity"
Finally, PAY ATTENTION when you're choosing tags. Think it over, re think it, do a third take just to make sure.

I mean, the developer of Paranautical Activity literally threatened Gabe Newell which got him and his game banned off Steam yet he managed to smooth things over, apologize, and get his game relaunched on there afterwards. However, I know from experience that sometimes corporate just can't be bothered to work things out and basically feel you're just not worth their time or effort.

Edited to add: Trying to "sneak" your game back on Steam is a hit-or-miss affair. Some folks have gotten away with it while others were found out and banned again. I'm not sure if the risk would be worth it. Sadly, I think the best bet is to hope they bother listening to an appeal and take a proper second look at the game.

Looks like the MC returned from the death to his self years before so he does things in other way.. I remember it was that, in fact, he remembers even about situations of his past life. Is there any explanation about this along the game, or it is what it is?? Should be original to develope this some more, I think, even introducing new characters whom have an answer about this, don't know..

His eye color appears different to him than other people and there's one character he meets that he doesn't remember at all from the original timeline. Besides those oddities, there's no hints yet as to how his regression happened in the first place.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If you're a Patron, you get access to various skins, which you can use in-game. Which one do you guys like most?

Asami:

Chiaki:

Noriko:

Sakuya:

Yasuka:
I love Chiaki and every outfit she gets but I wish Asami had her other outfits win the vote. Except the bunny outfits, I don’t think they fit her aesthetic. I was there in the trenches when we were voting for Asami’s original design.

Call me weird but a part of me kinda wishes there'll be an option to fuck Akira in the future lmao (I just like hate/revenge sex ig)

There won't be ofc lmao, but one can hope. Anyhow, really great game, I usually don't like the 'stories' (if they can even be called that with how low depth they have) that these games tend to have, but everything here was pretty pleasant (though I would've liked to have more of a say in whats gonna happen and be able to maybe reject some of the girls, but its not a big deal overall). Lovely art/animation and a fun experience. Will come back again for the next update

Good job guys we killed the game

Nahhh sorry but this is pure BS. I understand the level of piracy is really high, but this guy is making nearly $200k per year just on Patreon. I have no sympathy for this guy making absolute BANK off this game and his sob story. He got lucky that his game is so successful with a genuinely really good game (however there are many better games who make 100x less money) but even though he is by far one of the most successful people in this (small) industry, it's not enough for him. I just cannot bring myself to care about this guy who is absolutely raking it in by the truckload and feel sad for him because he's not raking it in by ten truckloads.

dev is making around 14k a month just on patreon....
Probably quite a lot less after patreon takes it's share and local taxes, but then again the pace of updates hints the dev having a day job. So the claim that piracy "killed" the game is not only unpersuasive, but not even stated in the dev post.

Patreon takes in between 5-12% and I believe the French tax is 20% which means it's almost 10k-11k per month just on patreon. I'm not making a case of they earn too much btw, just disproving that the game is dead.

Personally I don't care how much they make, I usually don't pay for products until they are finished or close to completion so even if the free versions stop and it's never leaked again I'll just play something else until it gets to that stage.

Relatively recently Patreon made the displayed amount much closer to what the creator will actually earn, after Patreon's cut and whatnot. So the number is fairly accurate, and even if it wasn't it would still be an absolute shitload of money lol. Even if he only gets 50% of the displayed number my opinion would remain the same; I do not care about how sad he is about piracy, he's doing extremely well for himself. And I say this as somebody who has been a patron of his in the past, and probably will be in the future.

I think it could be hard if they planned to live only with the actual income for a team of 5 persons that initially could spend a lot before getting enough income to compensate, but still, being constant and do some marketing of your own good will take time but it will give results at long term by building a base of contributors that will be there and will be important for next or other projects.

Apart from talking shit things will never change in the comments section here. Do you really think that for a game of this quality I only spend $200 a month?

Between making the backgrounds
sprites
CG
animations
Music
Programming
And all the other additional costs, how much do you think I'll have left at the end?

I'd also invite you to take a look at the ranking of the most taxed countries in the world. We're not world champions in France, but we're still on the podium.

So I'll say it one last time, I didn't say the game was dead because of piracy, nor did I say I wanted to make the 93% of pirates pay. I was just sharing with the community (which supports the game) the reality of things.

The game can continue to be developed, but investing more in improving the content, hiring artists as competent as my main artist isn't possible because I'd have to go through a studio to approach this quality.

So to conclude, yes, I earn almost $15k a month, but 80% is reinvested in the game, paying taxes, salaries etc.

I understand you spend a lot of money making the game. You still make an absolute fucking SHITLOAD of money from it. Once again, I'm not convinced. Sorry man, it's a lot of money. If you can't figure out a way for it to be profitable making nearly $200k a year just from Patreon, that's on you.

Once again, I say this as a former and future patron, and a big fan of the game. I have no ill will toward you, I just don't buy your message about how the future of the game needs to be seriously reconsidered because it's not making enough money. If this game isn't profitable (or is barely profitable) as one of the most successful ones in this space, no game can be profitable.

Once again, big fan :)
