At this point I'd be frustrated and just use Steam to release the game, and worry about DLsite at a more leisurely later date. They clearly won't be lenient in their requirements. I'd imagine a late February to early March release date with how much censorship is demanded if Tiramisu wants to wait for approval and two weeks waiting times. Either way, he's got a lot of work ahead of him.

Is it almost finished then? I was looking at his patreon, and kinda got that vibe. Ive been holding off trying this until then, and thats pretty exciting if true.

I don't understand why the need to perfectly pixelate in the shape of a cock.

Why not just paint the whole thing sex bits with a black square near the croch area? Most of your JP players on dlsite will download the patch anyway.

TiramisuLntr please use an API to censor your stuff. I will be on tomorrow night if you want help to automate the process. It's pretty embarrassing for developers to do this busy work manually when there is technical solutions for this and will probably take you a single work day at most.

The concern is, we cannot assume everyone knows how to replace the patch. Downloading the patch, putting it in the right place and replace the old files, and fix any potential issues occurring in this process, needs some learning curve. A majority of the players they have no computer system knowledge OR would not want to spend the time in replacing the patch (Any setup for a newbie would be time consuming.) Therefore, I want to make sure the game is enjoyable even with the mosaic.

Edit: I got the nudenet working, but it is not working on the pixel art and it has a low accuracy of putting the mosaic.

I recall around 2 years ago, DLsite had started a more restrictive censorship that i know a lot of artist hated. The amount of censorship required for Dlsite is absurd compared to other similar sites, that are located in Japan as well.

Its frustrating but hang in there TiramisuLntr. My suggestion, in the future, if possible, avoid DLsite and promote your products on other sites. You deserve better.

Alright buddy if that's your approach. I don't have data on "technical literacy of drag and drop and replace" of dlsite consumers so I can't even argue with that.

nudenet when I read it only slaps a black box on it and not the pixel perfect pixelated version that you're handcrafting.

My guess is this will take realistically another week then.

DLSite is the biggest marketplace for porn games. Steam also takes a bigger cut I believe. I think they don't want to lose sales to piracy / steam. When they just need to delay it. It's a bit tough sell because most people nowadays have Steam. But Steam doesn't have the forum like ci-en.dlsite.com.

I do think the world is changing and maybe in the future, DLSite becomes less important for the JP/CN h-game market.

Edit: Steam takes 30%, while dlsite is variable
Dlsite takes 50% to 20% based on pricing. It's really about the same. If I release a game though, releasing it on every market available at once is still the way to go to maximized profits.
