So I was wondering what had happened to this game after i broke from the yearly payments. I had not seen an update in so long I was worried development had ceased. I had no idea F95 shadow banned games, thought it was just all on or all off. and that this and champion of realms had stopped updating....are there any other shadow banned games i should be aware of?
It's not shadowbanned, it's not hidden, it's right here/there, it just doesn't get promoted when it gets an update anymore, the dev lost that privilege, that and his support links were scrubbed. The site has no interest in supporting him after he tried to fuck over the users of the site.

For anyone who is in the same boat as me and can't contribute much to the ongoing off-topic discussions (this is not criticism btw, if anything then it's just me admitting to be boring), here's a few more thoughts I had during my continued replay of the game. And I apologize in case some of those thing have already been mentioned or discussed in the past, since this is gonna be some really old stuff.
Regarding the last image, after I got to the point in the game where I decided Himawari was Akira's daughter I had assumed that image was added as foreshadowing for that. I think a few other Himawari related things were added/changed in the rework as well.
But what's kind interesting reading it now is it also seems to make reference to the "Rain King" and "Frog/pee boy" stuff. If it's not just a coincidence that's kind of insane.
"you are the one with rain. you are the one who bathes in their piss. go jerk off or something."
I think there is also a few more images with the blue eye in them. At least one anyway. This is the one I remember off the top of my head. Still not really sure what it means, but after the latest update I'm tempted to think it ties into what's going on with Ami somehow. But that could be some kind of recency bias. It is from a Kaori event (Run, Rabbit, Run) so perhaps like you said, it does have something to do with her aswell. Especially now that we know for sure she does have Sekai's heart, there could be some kind of through line between the 3 of them and whatever is going on now with Ami. Also It is a chapter 3 event could that have something to do with the 3 eyes. The one you posted is a chapter 1 event with 1 eye.
It's only 'hidden' by a misunderstanding of the mechanisms of the site, almost all games have the privilege of promotion because they don't try to fuck with users files, so it looks like promotion is just what this site is, but it's a forum first, the latest updates page is a whole other thing Sam and the team have written themselves as a benefit for users of this site, access to it is based on good behaviour by devs, it's not a right. Go to the forum main page and click adult games, that's the truest version of this site in it's natural forum form.

Well, everyday we learn something new.
Anyway, do you think I am spending more time on that site than just browsing the LiL thread? xd
I never interacted with forums or whatever it called. Damn, I never interacted with internet until I was 12 and I am in my early 20s now. I am a zoomer, yet I feel like I am the caveman. I can barely use this Discord since it is looking like shit for me, I never use Reddit for the same reason. I am using just YouTube and some social media apps to interact with my few friends and fellow students.
Creative types' view of online piracy is rarely... strategic. Or rational. I understand it from that side--I've made my living mostly through by sales of copyright-protected media. Watching stuff I'd spent hundreds or even thousands of hours on be freely shared without my consent? Maddening. Gut-wrenching. Enraging.
But a few of the things I learned very early on are:
The screenshot is from the children's TV show and the stage was lit. The hanging pair of legs are unlit in the background, which makes them look darker. Actually, Tsuneyo's legs would probably look even darker, even under studio lighting, if that makes sense.
So I am 99.9% sure this is neither from Tsuneyo, nor from Nao (or Imani for that matter).
I'm actually not sure if Sel even uses models that differ somehow from the knees down in terms of shape or looks. I guess you might be able to differentiate Futaba, but the rest I imagine would look pretty much identical, at least without anything right next to them for reference in size.
So I find it hard to say. Personally I don't even think it's supposed to show someone T-posing but simply hanging from a noose, therefore I just assumed it would be some variant of Maya.

But a few of the things I learned very early on are:
there is another important difference between what you point out and selebus' work. People aren't stealing his product, they're stealing his monthly early access to it, he himself gives away his product for free each month, just a bit later.
From that point of view, it's even more pointless to combat piracy, since you're not even struggling against people taking your precious product for free, just the notion that they're taking away the privilege of those that support you. So, really, everyone that "steals" his early access pass each month is still a potential supporter for years to come, since, again, it's a month to month deal.
To the point, it's far more damning to alienate piracy users in his case because you're also alienating potential supporters. His is not a finished product, it is far more important to create a vocal supportive community (paying or not) than to combat piracy (pointless since it won't yield anything anyway). And even if most of these people never support him, I can safely guess that a lot of them would be willing to pay for the final product after so many years. The only reason why they might not be is because of Selebus' behavior tbh.
