Don't know if he already tried Steam. If no, he should it since they are alright with incest.

Steam was mentioned, I also brought it back up. This is what the Dev said

"For now, my stance would be to release on Steam as is (uncensored and cover songs) delayed from patreon release but free.

To change any of those would compromise my original intent"

So, I don't even know if he tried to put the game on Steam or not. He hasn't mentioned anything about Steam after that.

And him saying

"I'm lagging behind all my peers financially by a large margin, many distribution platforms are closed shut for me for reasons you probably all know.

This project's only support is from you guys, here on Patreon, and it's very limited. Developing this passion project has become insanely expensive on my own. It's bleeding me dry and I'm way past my safety net"

Having the game on Steam would be another a way to get help with that support you are wanting. Let's see what you decide to do though, Dev.

So you know, if you enjoy the game and have let's say 5 euros or dollars to spare, maybe even a bit more depending on your country

remember that devs can't live solely on thumbsups and likes

He would get my money if the game were put onto Steam (I only buy these games on Steam) I'd get the game for $10, $12, $13, or $15 dollars.

Found a way to have a proper tier system on website for early releases. Tried many things over the year they all failed but now it works. The website’s backend is getting neat thanks to Vision.

Also today I opened a SteamWorks dev account to start working on a page.

Now we need to find right balance between patrons early releases, Steam model, flooding promotion everywhere possible and counter abusive fast leaks best I can.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Steam allows incest. But if I run along with it, it will cause problems I worked very hard to avoid with Patreon.

Or third party patch/set relationship. Dumb. Nonsense. Landlady crap.
The kind of stuff I got shit for doing in the first place.

Really with Steam? Yeah, I know, there is a misconception, but unless your models look, well you know, and a dog isn't bending someone over, along with forced stuff, Steam doesn't mind.

Don't you already do that with Patreon , technically, since it's not there, and off-site.

So, I guess if you want the safest route possible, the change relations, or patch route (patch for Patreon version) would be the safest approach. I mean it's not the worst thing, Steam version would be un-altered but Patreon would be bypassed by just added in a blank patch that enables it.

Just seen multiple cases of external official versions and “terms” on social media being used to advertise your stuff taken against you for review purposes.

website is an iron curtain, I have complete control if steve@patreon.com is trying to sneak his way in.

Anyway, it’s a risk. I’ve already sacrificed everything for my game so don’t really care ultimately. I always find my way

Yeah, but don't think the Steam thing will really be much to worry about. Whatever you end up with, very few games that I give money to (I compress it, but don't leak it). Everyone does things their own way,

, "fan-made" stuff, which usually resides here and then spreads, Discord channels, and so, and so on.

I'd say if anything beyond that is someone who doesn't like something you did, say, added, tags, and decides to go on a crusade.

I'm glad you found a way to have a proper tier system on Patreon (sorry if it's been shit before)

Super happy that you opened a Dev account to start working on a Steam page! (let me calm down a bit for the next part)

Grr, Patreon is such a pain in the ass. Subscribstar, same situation?

Hmm, some Devs release their games update a week or so earlier than the Steam version (can't remember the exact amount of time)

Steam model = I think it should be in Early Access. Since the game isn't completed yet and I don't think it needs any Seasons or whatever. I don't really know how many updates are left though, since you're the only person that knows when the story will end. I think this is the best model.

Hopefully you'll figure out the answers/solutions you need with all of this. Still, I am stoked to hear about the Steam Dev account. I really want to buy and own this game on there already lol. I'm impatient.

I wish things were much smoother and easier for you. I am sorry if it isn't... You can do it, I believe in you.

 

[xXx_BingChillin_xXx]

Personally for Steam, I’m all for buy once and free till completion delayed from patron release.
And cheap ~7.69 US mcnuggies unless Vision knock some sense into me.

I am more concerned with what a Steam release will do to your inclusion of music. Steam doesn't hesitate to give in to copyright claims.

What about subscribestar? Less hassle than patreon. You can have both at the same time, until (I hope not) if patreon bans you.

SS is far better than Patreon. Even as just a consumer it's less hassle when it comes to billing and other things like that.

All of it gone yeah, replaced by boring copyright-free ones.

F*ck that, Red Lucy on Steam - but without the awesome homebrew music? That is a severe loss in this type of game.

 

[xXx_BingChillin_xXx]

We’re preparing an itch.io paid release that stays the same as this version because honestly, I don’t care about itch’s opinion.

As for Steam, still sent an inquiry but to my knowledge, incest is not allowed. So landlady it is.

For music I sent some requests around to interesting artists for reasonable licensing. There is no way I’m putting overpriced corporate shiny happy people guitar crap in Red Lucy.

Oh incest is definitely allowed, both of Perveteer's games is on Steam

There are plenty of incest games on itch.io so it should be fine imo, I mean sisterly lust is like top 50 adult games played there. And the music copyright sucks for steam. Your choice of music is so well placed sometimes I just stay on a render and listen to the end, really immersive. In the end I hope you find a solution, good luck!

. All his music is free to use and he has a very wide variety of styles etc. He has been my go-to for several years whenever i looked for stuff like this.

Yeah, but his games let you name every character, while others let you define the relationships. Which is what I told "lefrench" to add into the game for the Steam version.

Edit: just wanted to post some screenshots of the info for some of the incest games I have on Steam.

Secret Summer & Picture Perfect both say



Thirty Days



Sisterly Lust (I haven't played it on Steam yet)
