VN Ren'Py STWA: Unbroken [Book 1 Steam] [STWAdev]

[Maccabbee]

I don't know about Fetish locator, since I don't play it, but in Being a DIK the girls are all at least college age [the developer had to leap through a few unlikely hoops for Zoey just to get past the Patreon rules], and for Desert Stalker the developer had to age-up the younger daughter and a few other girls to get Steam acceptance.

I hate myself more than a little for playing and enjoying DS. It's pretty fucking vile, but hella hot and fun.

I mean, not going to sit and argue but yes they are explicit.

Same with games like Being a Dik is on steam and you fuck someone in a uniform. Fetish locator is on steam.... Desert Stalker is on steam... The list goes on. If the reason is "because steam pushed back on it" I just find the extremely hard to believe with what else they allow on the platform.

none of those games you mentioned take place in a high school setting, just saying. Anyway, steam is extremely inconsistent with shit like that, so devs try to avoid those triggers if possible, since you usually get one shot to get your game on the store. And they are right, why risk it? Unbroken also changed Amrit's scene with the uniform on the off-chance some overly trigger-happy reviewer rejects the game because of that... you may not hear about it, but lots and lots of games with erotic content get banned/rejected. Hell, even non-sexual stuff gets banned for the most ridiculous reasons

What they said. Steam has pretty lax restrictions on some types of content. Adult incest? Sure. Facefuck a semiconscious girl after graphically killing her 'boyfriend'? Probably fine if it's "CNC". But I've been involved in discussions with multiple devs trying to get their AVNs on Steam, and content that gives the appearance of underage characters is generally considered extremely risky. Steam reviewers are notoriously inconsistent about it and you might get lucky, but a high school setting is almost always a no go. And I've heard devs mention specifically schoolgirl uniforms being a reason some game got rejected.

Large companies may have the resources to appeal the decision and get second chances, but small individual devs often do not. And Steam is potentially big money. If keeping an inconsequential schoolgirl outfit scene in your game could potentially cost you $100K or more, would you really take that risk? I wouldn't.

But its not about age its the content. Amrit is very clearly an adult, but because she teases calling the 2 guys "daddy", in a non sexual way at all by the way, it has to be removed? And she was reliving things she missed out on in highschool, had the skirt and shirt on for like 2 seconds before taking it off. Had nothing to do with her being in school still.

It wouldnt even be that bad, but the replacement doesn't feel natural at all. Like the dialog stays the same taking about ripping her clothes but shes just in regular ass panties? And the Bozo thing? In what universe is Amrit saying "Bozo" It just sounds stupid and out of character.
