tell me something new - we just wanted to end SL and start our new game. We know that we kind of messed up SL compared to DMD and Melody.
Sometimes it's better to acknowledge mistakes and start from something new rather than trying to tinker around something hopeless.
Hi, I really like DMD and some kind Melody (not so much). In fact, SL has its good moments. And I really like to “download” it but only for the good images and videos, not for the game. It was not the game I wanted to play – such as DMD. There was something that you think what will happen. Of course, there were things which some people thought were too slow, but still the game was OK. I really don’t know what the new game will be. But DMD was first a game that crush some taboo, and second a game which was slow but progressive and all the people who liked it, were OK with this that will wait but will see what will happen, then now that everybody knows what will be and everybody knows that with the first hack will have all the content, because only this is interesting.tell me something new - we just wanted to end SL and start our new game.

Kinetic novels totally suck. If you don't want any input into what happens, why not watch actual porn? Kinetic novels aren't games and should be in a separate section from them.well you know that can't please every1, some like kinetic novels and some just despise those.
i have said that many times, even on non-kn threads.Kinetic novels totally suck. If you don't want any input into what happens, why not watch actual porn? Kinetic novels aren't games and should be in a separate section from them.
Too fast on assuming because we definitely didn't understand.Thanks for understanding
well maybe not but steam has strict eye to petites.Just saw the last news, seriously you are gonna rework Ariel to make her more "mature" ? Why not make a game with only milfs ? So MrDots image and style on "petite" characters are definitely dead for financial reasons.

Meet the main character from our new game “Thief of Hearts!”
Hello again to all of our supporters!
How was your week?
What did you think of our Vivian previews last week and our teaser video?
Do you like the name of our new visual novel?
The MC
Today, we’re excited to reveal images and some details about our main character.
Similar to the female love interests we’ve previously introduced through preview images over the past month, you will have the freedom to select your own name for the main character.
However, this main character is significantly different from our past leads. While he may be youthful, his confidence and thirst for adventure stand out as his defining qualities.
Optimistic and ambitious, he possesses a keen sense of empathy towards others, but at other times he can be quite cocky, sarcastic and just plain unlucky.
About Ariel
Our first previews featured ‘Ariel,’ and after careful consideration over the past few weeks, we’ve concluded that changing her appearance is necessary.
One of our goals for this year is to start publishing our games on Steam. We know many of you have asked us that in the past and we want to make it a reality this year.
However, it seems that Steam is very strict when it comes to allowing games on their platform.
A recent attempt to submit ‘Melody’ was rejected because the characters looked “too young”, and we thought Ariel would fall into this category and this new VN could be rejected by Steam just like they did with Melody.
What we’re aiming for is to give Ariel a more mature, “adult” look, which will better our chances of being able to publish our game on Steam successfully.
So next weekend we will be sharing our new look and design for the Ariel character.
Thanks for understanding.
The Plot
And that brings us to the plot of our new game.
In “Thief of Hearts”, as the main character, you’ll fill the role of a young man who is navigating through a world of theft, deception, and unexpected alliances.
Your journey is not just about being a thief, it’s also about the effect you have on the people around you, personally and professionally. Oh, and the females we’ve shown you so far are also thieves. They possess certain skills that we’ll be showing you in the upcoming weeks starting with Ariel next week
This new visual novel will have mini-games and choices that will determine specific outcomes. You’ll meet new characters along the way, while you’re being sent on specific paths during your journey. We want to give this new VN more dynamism and more importance to the choices as we know many fans have complained about our games being too linear at times.
Let us know what you think of our MC or about the details of our new game in the comments section below.
We’ll be back with more previews for “Thief of Hearts” next weekend!
Chat soon,
MrDots
just to clarify:Too fast on assuming because we definitely didn't understand.
The term "milf" was more there to exaggerate the line. Buf if he wants to make us a SC2, I'm the first to be delighted. Have you tried to submit SL to Steam to see il they like or not SC, Connie or Yuki characters ?just to clarify:
We don't want to make her a milf or give her a general makeover (wouldn't match the story anyways if we did). I have been as shocked as you guys as i read that article (wording).
Maybe it has been worded in a bad way.
MrDots wants me to tell you that he meant to make Ariel looking more like shortcake (Aperantly for some reason, he thinks that shortcake looks way more mature than Ariel - lol).
So we just might have to wait until we see the changes before we start to judge. I personally don't know what and how exactly these changes will be though right now.

nope - as SL will be rejected by other characters like yuki and conny - they even rejected Melody for "Melody looking too young". They named Melody in particular, but didn't mention what exactly on Melody made them to refuse her.The term "milf" was more there to exaggerate the line.

That's not a MILF, that's a sabretooth (look it up on Urban Dictionary.)i assure that Ariel will not be like this:

I mean, it's not rocket science -- they'll typically reject characters who have appearance common for middle- or high-schoolers (short, relatively small breasted, round childish face) and have sex, regardless of how many "they're 18+ year old college students" gets plastered on the game. Yes, i know, "there's older women who look this young" but Steam isn't interested in risking getting smeared as "platform for child p*rn" based on such technicalities for the sake of publishing a few more games, when they get thousands as it is.nope - as SL will be rejected by other characters like yuki and conny - they even rejected Melody for "Melody looking too young".

Like you note yourself, it comes down to the person who does the review, so it's not exactly "randomly". Some people on their staff will have more strict views than others, someone's opinions can change over years, or even their internal guidelines can become more strict or lenient, but it's not really something you can rely on when you spend 2-3 years on making a game.But that is not true
They randomly reject some and not others with the SAME look
I own and have wishlisted 7-9 VNs on Steam ALL with at least one character who looks younger than Sofi in Mel so of course way younger than Mel
They are nuts
It all comes down to WHO does the review
