Season 1 already has sexual content my dude, it's literally there go boot up the game you have the MC rubbing his dick between Nami ass, animated and all, you can downplay it however much you like but a scene where you clearly see a dick being rubbed against someones naked ass is "explicit". It's not gonna be completely removed but the sexual part is gonna be removed. Thats the weird part, what the hell does the music have to do with the scene being removed as well? You can just put different music or no music at all, removing the whole scene because of the music makes no sense to me.
There we go, you are the 3rd person to try to strawman me... And put words into my mouth i never used... When did i say i was "disgusted" over things here?
Is there something in the water lol, why do people keep doing this...
I guess you're not followed the game news and dev logs, but Ocean has been talking about music license issues for a long time, and they are exactly related to adult content. That's why he's so concerned about securing the music licenses in his game for the songs he's carefully selected over the years and even built several cinematics around the songs. It's not the only Ocean, many devs have faced the same problems and had to remove some key music compositions from their games, and the adult nature of their games became a direct reason for copyright holders to revoke their music tracks. And the worst part is that they did this with games that had been in production for a long time.

And you're right, the jacuzzi scene is something that could bring the "adult" label or whatever it's called on Steam for the game. Many people won't ever see a game tagged like this on Steam, due to platform restrictions. It's a fair trade-off to rework one scene to appeal to a wider audience.

Sexual content as in a girl touching MC's peepee. In the jacuzzi scene we only see Nami wiggling her ass on MC's lap, of course we know what's happening down there but don't exaggerate it. The thing is he paid for music licenses and now 40% of these were in risk if he didn't tweak that scene (we'll have to see the final version before judging, right?). And it's not the first time nor the last time where the music industry has influenced some of the VN around here. The most prominent example would be BaDIK with its original theme song, but Ocean himself has been a victim of this (RIP Every Night :cry:).
And I'm not strawmanning you. Just saying that what you're complaining about are things that everyone already knew beforehand, like S1 wasn't gonna have H content.
My friend... we see the dick and everything...

i am not exaggerating anything... the scene is what it is... this is an obviously explicit scene. I am just asking why is the scene getting removed if the music is also getting removed? What does one have to do with the other? When you can just put different music or no music at all. I am just confused about that part.
You said i was disgusted by things here, where did you get that word? Where did i say i was disgusted by anything here? Can you tell me where it was first stated that Season 1 was not gonna have any sexual content? Cause it certainly wasnt when the game started or even just a year or more back, maybe i missed it but also Ocean missed it as well because he already put H content in the game.

I mean this game is a few month from being 5 YEARS OLD, thats half a decade... we are approaching this game going through 3 different US presidents and still not having any sex content lol.
And we have returned to Where It All Began :HideThePain:
This is clearly not your game because you don't like the slow pace and long relationship building. To me it sounds like "I don't like this comedy because it's not a horror movie."

I understand that but i dont understand how removing the music means you have to remove the whole scene? Does that apply to every other scene as well? Cause most of the game has music lol, so most of the scenes will get removed? Actually i could understand a scene getting compromised by music being removed if its a scene thats made specifically to compliment the music like the various scene of Bella with her hair blowing in the wind or sharing a passionate kiss, etc... but Nami rubbing her ass on MC's dick didnt really strike me as that kind of scene, you could have played a trumpet during that it wouldn't matter.

Sure i dunno if its worth sacrificing your own story for it, cause i dunno how big the trade off would be in the end. In fact it might even backfire cause people might think its one of those Western porn VN's like BaDIK and download it, miss the no sex tags play it realize there is no sex and leave a bad review lol. RIP Season 2 on Steam then, not that he ultimately needs it, he released the game on multiple platforms already and is earning more than a brain surgeon in Switzerland does on it.

It's widely known that music industry doesn't like to give rights for their music. It's still taboo. In real live you can ask independent bands, but they usually run away when you use word "adult". Very few people will speak with you because they don't want their names are associated with adult content. Ocean try to find who are wiling to work with him and make good songs. Usually those are custom songs for the game.

I dunno why people keep saying this, it's literally one of my favorite games on here. Or do people think just because you love something you cant or aren't allowed to criticize or question some decisions regarding it?
My favorite movies, shows, games are also things i have a lot of criticism over, simply because i tend to also hold them to a higher standard than stuff i find to be mid or terrible.
I did 5 different playthroughs of BG3, i spent this much time in a game that's only been out for 2 and 1/2 months
122113.png
and yet i have a ton of stuff to both praise and criticize the game for, even though it also became one of my favorite games ever, literally on my top 5 list of all time.
I dont understand some people some time, maybe we just have completely different standards and ways we approach things...

Well ok I stand corrected on the dick situation. But no, the music will still be there if that scene is modified. The problem is that if Ocean left it as it is, then goodbye to the 40% of the music licenses that he has already paid and implemented to the game. You have to understand this.
With "disgusted" I meant "upset", sorry for my non-native english. And I can't put you the original source, but since it was established that SG would be splitted into seasons, it first one wasn't gonna have H content (the hardcore stuff, that scene pushed that meaning to the limit but nothing happened there, now it's gonna be tweaked to some mild point). And that probably was 1-1.5 years ago.

Nami rubbing ass -> game tagged porn -> copyright holders go anal -> urgent update on Steam removes the music from the released game.
I can't explain this better. :HideThePain:

We'll see. At the very least, leave it up to the developer to choose how they want to market and target their game.

I dont think you understand my question... i get why the music is being removed i dont get why the sex scene is being removed you can remove the music without touching the sex scene.

Its not like i have any influence on that anyway.

Lets just forget about the music thing cause i feel like we are talking in circles.
Anyway if it was established 1.5 years ago that season 1 would be non-sexual i guess i missed that part cause i genuinely cant remember and i have been following this game at least as far as the stuff Ocean releases on patreon, i dont follow everything he posts on discord especially if he doesn't tag people, but sure it's all non-sexual for now.
Not sure why he hyped up the next update so much then, especially with promising some really rewarding scenes with Nia, but oh well... maybe the MC and her play a very intense game of hide and seek.

Dude, stop. You can't change the people on the internet. You are fighting a losing battle. :HideThePain:
And you're poking the both sides with the stick and giggling. I don't see anything in this guy's words that is worth fighting for. A typical argument about a game between people with different opinions. While no one is calling others cockgoblers and dicksuckers and the discussion is on topic, I have no problem with it and I hope the other side doesn't either.

I dunno who "you guys" are but i think you just found out that different people want different things on the internet. The approach to building up to sex scenes is what i PREFER in my games, which is why i was offput when the dev seemingly did it for other reasons that are not game/story related, but mechanical that is where i had a problem with. I mean this game is a few month from being 5 YEARS OLD, thats half a decade... we are approaching this game going through 3 different US presidents and still not having any sex content lol.
The main problem is not that different people want different things, but the problem is different people want to force their opinion to the developers. Not just only in Ocean's case, but every other developer. Sometimes it really annoying to read the endless posts with complaining, whining, crying, b*tching, etc., but mostly is very funny and entertaining.

What I'm talking about?
"I (don't) want this, I (don't) want that, I (don't) want incest, NTR, harem, dev should do this, or that, etc."

When I try an AVN, the first things I look at is the genre and developer notes. If that's fine for me, I'll download it and give it a try. In most cases, 20-30 minutes is enough to decide whether I are interested or not. If I'm not interested, then I drop the AVN, but I'm not going to write a complaining, whining, crying, b*tching post, and I don't give unasked advice to the developer about what I think he should do differently with his own game.
