Hi everyone!
We missed posting an update last time because we were busy setting up our Steam page, which we submitted for review last week. It turns out it’s a bit more involved than we expected!
We’re currently making adjustments based on Steam's feedback, fine-tuning the layout and content. Besides the usual screenshots, videos, descriptions, and GIFs, they also require around 20 different images for various sections (like the library, news, store, community, etc.), each with specific guidelines. We’re working hard to get everything right today, and we hope to have our Steam page live soon - though initially without a price tag, just marked as "coming soon."
Yes, we know it’s best to have a Steam page up well before launch so people can add the game to their wishlists, but we’re moving forward with what we have. Yes, as usual, things didn’t go quite as smoothly as planned, and I even had to make the trailer myself. However, I'm glad to report that the trailer is now at 60 FPS, formatted for Steam’s format, and looking solid.
We’re really happy with the final look of our Steam page and hope you’ll enjoy it too when you see it.
Meanwhile, production is still in full swing. We’re running ongoing debug cycles, fixing occasional issues with Spine 2D, character animations, art, and more. We’re also still polishing a few things. For example, many visual novels include a character bio section at the bottom, but with over 40 characters, we felt it wasn’t the best fit for us. The team’s hard at work, and things are progressing well!

P.S. We’ve tried to address the w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶*̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ruler problem so new players won’t struggle with it. We admit it was a challenge, but we’ve learned a lot from the process!

As always,
Thank you all so much for your support,
Without you guys,
None of this would be possible,
Love,
-The Taffy Tales Team

I appreciate the post. My bad yall i was caught up with school and partying for Halloween lol.

Steam allows incest
Really wonder how that rumor about Steam censorship and Incest games manages to stay alive?

Steam does officially allow everything which is on legal grounds as per international- and US federal law. Fictional pornography made with drawn or fully stylized AI-generated artwork does not fall under any bans in these laws. Incest porn between consenting adults is legal too.

Even though they have randomly removed games in spite of this official policy, the removed games seemed to mostly feature anything around (even potential) underage / school content. Like women wearing school uniforms, or the game taking in a place called a "school" even with the actors clearing looking adult. So if anything, the school part would cause a huge problem for this game.


If games are being sold in a cut version on Steam, then this is to avoid legal issues in several countries. For example, law in Japan explicitly prohibits display of pubic hair and adult genitalia. Law in Germany now requires a form of age verification which Steam isn't willing to implement, so Steam completely locks customers from Germany out of all adults-only content no matter how conservative that content maybe.

Keeping in mind that these two countries are the third and fourth largest national economies in the world. Producers would miss significant amounts of money with an uncensored version.

So it isn't uncommon that games have their adult content entirely split as a "content patch" to be downloaded separately without geoblocking the buyers directly. The info about that usually being presented as a "user guide" in the community hub.

This is also what i would recommend to any dev going to Steam, rather than trying to butcher their game content down to the least common denominator.


As laws keep getting more and more weird in various regions, we'd end up with the last porn on earth showing

"a married couple having missionary sex under the bedsheets with lights turned off"

Which looks like this

"Well sonny its a game that used to be quite the treasure before the ai art started coming in with 6 fingers on characters and having the ai artist himself comment the f95zone thread trying to defend his own paycheck of 9.95 dollars a month, throw it away sonny its just a load of crap."

Wait what? Why is it split 1-4 and then 5 separate? That is literally what killed another two games for me because the issue with saves carrying over not working and one of those games REQUIRED saves from the previous "episode". It was an absolute trainwreck.

Lets be honest here, Uberpie may had a roadmap before and while its logical to assume he can just use what he has for the redux we may get some delays.

Basically he will have to make a new roadmap and work aroudn on whast he has since being on Steam means he will need to alter many things to fit their regulations, not much i hope but since Patreon nuked him and Subscribestar is slow or not as profitable as the former place he needs to adapt.

I say theres a 50/50 change we get to see faster updates but its a whole new game at this point.
