But it looks like that the complete geo-blocking shit is not tied to the 16+ or Adult Only Rating but to "Frequent Nudity Often"
That this string of swearwords geo-blocking has to be tied to some idiotic subpoint was clear to me for quite a time, since there are a couple of fully adult erotic games still available via German Steam. Those games have most often developer-made patches for the nude stuff, but the texts are rarely cleaned up. I have e.g. a japanese VN with great artwork (even before the patch) and the storiy does not hold back at all.

Will the steam sales make up for the inevitable crash in patreon support knowing this game is gonna be sanitized to hell? If its a hit on steam sure, but generally does it make up the difference? I see a lot of devs do this and just lose their fandom or create negative word of mouth. Just doesn't seem worth it if you want a dedicated following.
I think you underestimate the steam market for this kind of stuff.

Just take a look at the steam stats from Being a Dik:

1715382511863.png


Even the shitty games from Super Writer have accumulated over 500.000$

If you have the time search the database for well known games from here and you can see that - a successful - steam release will easy overshadow patreon support multiple times ...

Once upon a time this game was good now its just a borefest, the story is going literally nowhere and the dev keeps introducing pointless new characters every update when already established characters are no where to be seen. Its becoming obvious that he is milking this game with a bunch of filler content at this point, the story has lost its direction and I think ocean is aware of that.
The main mistake here is you're thinking about "story" in traditional form of plot growth. This game is more character/MC focused instead so the story will seem like it goes nowhere to you, but in reality, the story is the MC which (unfortunately to you) includes meeting a bunch of characters as his social circle expands.

The reason why I'm ok with this is because these characters are introduced logically (ex: meeting basketball people because he's trying for the basketball team, meeting mom's boyfriend family, etc) while still involving the established characters. Not all of them at once, but for example the book club introduced a bunch of new MILF characters but also allowed character relationship growth with Sasha. So it's not like these characters are really "nowhere to be seen" as you claimed. And because there are so many established characters, only Bella and Nami would appear regularly (and most likely Mila too once they've lived together) while the others will have to take turns. It's just the nature of the game when there are so many characters to begin with.

What I am surprised by in regards to this censorship is that incest is still in the game. Does Steam look the other way or is Nami romance the next to be axed?

Cause IIRC Germany has VERY dim view of brother/sister love, to the point they send the brother to prison (considering the stories of RL cases I've read about).

PS: why don't Germans like that simply go a few km away and move to Holland? Last I checked, sibling marriages were legal there...

Incest is allowed on steam, believe it or not..

summer's gone. it seems that some Germans can't download the game from steam due to restrictions in their country.
No, that is actually wrong! It is not a restriction in Germany at work, but Steam went the cheap and shoddy way of age verification. And to not have a hassle they unilateraly blocked several nations form "adult" stuff, since it was cheaper for them than to install an age verification that is not the joke it is now.

The gog.com page is visible for me, even without a VPN, samae is for the Epic page.

logically? did you play the initial release where an emo MC witness a girl get hit by a car and then contemplates about life and death in the middle of the street and then gets a gun pulled on him by the driver? oh they all go to the same school.

I am up to my 3rd route. The base game seems like 30-40 percent different. classes have more people in it. Certain scenes can be taken more serious example Nami and Nika talks in her bedroom. Original she pulls down her top while having a serious conversation and he has his hand on her tit. This version they are talking and you can see this is a serious conversation from how she looks at him seems more dramatic. Some of the characters seem different my baby Mila gives off a more aggressive attitude reminds me of the Mila before the first remake. kinda disappointed with the scenes that were in the trailer but not in the game. For example when Victoria is in the hospital the trailer shows her in a hospital bed and Maja laying on the foot of the bed. To me that makes more sense then a few hours later she is in a wheelchair basically ok minus not being able to walk. The inconsistencies of the faces were also interesting one minute you saw the update then the next screen you saw the old face. They did keep the creepy barber face bella though :ROFLMAO:
There are other things but whatever I enjoyed it. Would I have paid out of pocket for it. NO. Since I get paid for playing games on my game account I used it for this. I look forward to seeing the other routes.

Well, there is some change in the background story! In the earlier versions of SG Ayua said Nika had to either marry her or one of her cousins to learn some special martial arts moves.
In Wiab Miru, Ayua´s mom once said that she wants 4 kids. So this is obviously now canon background that Ayua has siblings. But we can theorise that from her cousins some are actually halfsisters. Ayua´s new clothes and general style is clearly inspired by Leia, her aunt and her Dad´s twin sister. So if Leia is a major factor in her life, Willi, Leia and Miru must have found a modus vivendi. Which also heavily implies Willi and Leia did what they already wanted years before Wiab plays.

So the "initial release" that has been changed and no longer relevant? Also, when I said characters being introduced logically, I was responding to the comment about the additional newly introduced characters and not the original/established characters.

Please read and understand first before replying next time so we won't have to waste time. Thanks.
