Hi everyone, it's time to give you some news about Extra Life.

First of all, I would like to announce that Extra Life will never be available on Steam. We did everything we could, the name of the game has been changed, the main plot has been modified in the version I sent them, and areas that did not appear have been created especially for the Steam version and increase the chances of passing the validation.

Despite all this, it didn't work...

This news made me a bit depressed but that's how it is... I don't have the power to fight against them, they have the monopoly, and they can do whatever they want. So I'm going to concentrate on what I can do best, which is to continue to develop Extra Life, the name will stay that way, and there will be other opportunities.

In the meantime, Extra Life will remain exclusive on Itch.io, SubscribeStar, and Patreon.

Regarding the development of version 0.6, everything is going as planned, it should arrive in mid-December. Thank you again for your support, in the last few months I have noticed the first drop in revenue on Patreon and I can understand it, the 0.6 version took much longer to develop than expected. I will do my best to improve it for the next updates.

Version 0.7 will be dedicated to Yasuka and version 0.8 could be the return of Noriko ;) Take care of yourselves

What did steam even take issue with?
I get the age-stuff, but why did they dislike the name or demand new areas?

I'm sorry for RNGeusEX too... Perhaps the censors are too "sensitive" :unsure: and they find some things that implied breaking rules as offensive, an example could be whatever Noriko was seeing in her computer when MC enter first time, by looking the description that imply incest, and if this matter is prohibit by the censors of Steam, then for that lil issues a game could be rejected.

The game was banned the first time I proposed it on steam, the problem came from a character who was not 18 years old (even if there was no nsfw content about her), the second problem came from the choice of tag I used for steam "dating sim"

dating sim + highschool = ban

Even after increasing the age of chiaki and redoing the sprite, even after changing the translation, even after correcting the tag, even after changing the name of the game.

Steam remains fixed on its first opinion, a ban is a ban and it is final, no matter that the game is now acceptable

This will serve as a lesson for my next game

steam doesn't care about incest bro there are several games on steam that contain incest

Will you be undoing the Chiaki model change?

I may sound like a broken record
BUT I CANT PLAY THIS WITHOUT INCEST...

I'm not an incest afficionado but much like Summertime Saga the story makes no sense otherwise...
Living for free with another COMPLETELY UNRELATED family that assumed responsibility for you AND your father debt because of reasons!!!? FFS! :mad:

Sry but my suspension of disbelief is not that high :ROFLMAO:

That's kinda sad cuz i liked the art :cry:

The vast majority of incest games make no sense without the incest patch

Just assume they're your step-family and move on. It's not that much of a difference.

It wouldn't make sense for Yasuka to be your mom anyway.
If that was the case it would be completely illogical for Noriko to blame you for your and her father's debt.
