I think it is because if they make a porn game, then Steam does not want any minors (Chiaki in the earlier versions before he aged her up) appearing in said game even if they aren't part of any H scenes.
That seems like a valid reason if true , would that really result in a permanent ban though?

wait, so if it's a standalone .exe then we can't patch it anymore to have incest? then i'm out... fuck the devs...
Godot allows for .PCK files for quick patches. However, I think it needs to be enabled with a line of code before the project is rendered into an exe. If this line isn't already applied, then if the Dev ever decided to release DLC content, be it costumes or anything of the sort, then this line of code would need to be added so that you can drop the DLC files in with the .EXE.
So i'd think it's somewhat safe to say a patch can, and likely will, be made. But it might be awhile. I don't know enough about Godot to try it myself, but a quick google search indicated that Godot does allow for "patch" files like other game engines.

It was never really made public why the ban was imposed.
In earlier versions of the game, Chiaki was 12yo; she had no NSFW content, but it was still technically an "underage character in a sex game". The dev eventually made her 18yo, but by then the ban was already imposed.

Steam is outright idiotic when it comes to dev bans. Even if the game violates a rule by letter only, and even if you later on fix the issue, the ban is never lifted. So, in this very specific case, I trust the dev to be speaking the truth.

Thanks for the information.



"Steam, takes a 30% commission on absolutely all sales. As a reminder, Patreon takes about 16%, and is according to the will of the developer so between 100 and 0%."



This is really pathetic.

Why would they rewrite this game with a different engine this far into the project?
Especially since Ren'Py is specifically for VNs while Godot is a general-purpose game engine.
They'll have to rewrite Ren'Py's functionality and most likely do a worse job.

This is the second project that has done this recently. Summertime Saga is another one.
If the devs want to play around with new tech they should save it for the next game instead of scrapping an existing one.

If you use Godot RE Tools, you can get access to the TL file in translation en.po.

I'd assume that's all that is needed to write an incest patch. The hard part, would be getting it into the .exe

RobotMenace Would you happen to know a way to do that? (replace the en.po inside the .exe with the patched one).

edit: uploaded a .txt version.
If godot RE works, then you should be able to just recompile in godot itself, unless its .NET godot

Also - anyone knows if the animations are prerendered Live2D, or it's actuall Live2D?
It's currently a mix. Pretty much all the newer scenes are rigged and animated in engine and some of the older scenes have been redone too. Basically if it looks crisper and smoother than it used to it's "Live2D."

I have two guesses:
1. The dev plans to include features not currently supported by Ren'Py, but that would be viable in Godot. Those features might sound important in paper, but in practice odds are that the players won't care too much about them.
2. "Everybody is jumping off the bridge" mindset. Godot surged in popularity after Unity's fiasco, so a lot of devs are adopting it; some are doing it for sensible reasons, others not so much.

If any of those guesses is correct I don't know.

Nah just give the devs some time bro. Godot is a good engine
Godot is a very niche engine , overly complex and with little support. But its the current hipster engine for devs who don't understand what they are getting into.
Even people that have long experience and knowledge of godot have trouble using it and fixing things like bugs and crashes with it due to how bad it is.

Godot is a pretty good engine these days (at least compared to how it used to be), It's just not the best choice if you are making a visual novel LOL

It seems that there is a problem in the new route that prevents progress, the only solution is to use version 0.91, which we do not yet have available here

if you guys had jobs instead of wanking in your parents basements all day 10 dollars wouldnt seem like a lot to you
When someone says that they are the basement guy.
Also it depends on where you live, 10 dollars is a lot for barebones , basic feature lacking , lazily put together "VN".
There are new indie FPS games with insane amounts of playtime and fun gameplay that are less then 10$, hell you can get both twilight town/manor for less then that.
This meanwhile doesn't meet the basic features of a VN, padds it playtime all to hell, has very few mostly pretty lazy scenes for the development time its had(and money involved) , is a buggy mess ,etc.

Well, then in that case - there's zero reason not to use RenPy, since it has Live2D integration xD
