Steam would likely reject the submission if they noticed the posters. (And they are extra cautious with adult game approvals.)
not extra cautious,adult games have to actually go through a human approval system,and they instantly perma ban anything which can be seen as sexualisation off a minor.

and no they don't subscribe to that "but she's a 100 year old elf" narrative.. she looks like a underaged girl compared to our IRL norms and she's in a sexual situation? boom perma ban,no appeal allowed.

I call what you wrote "extra caution". Not sure why you said "not extra cautious."

i guess i misinterpreted you badly then,because plenty off porn games get through evaluation along side extreme violence etc.

i don't believe AVN's or pornographic orientated content games get extra attention in the review process.
best example would be kinda recent actually i don't remember the game name but it was a indie thriller featuring nudity on some farm.
apparently the game had a scene where a child visited the farm with his family ,and just that combination off nudity with a minor resulted in a denial off steam release with no appeal...

if i remember correctly i came across the story from a video on youtube from "bellular news"

Bellular News is a good source. I know avn devs who have said their reviews take longer (on average) than they've expected based on anecdotes from makes of non-adult games saying the average time it takes to be reviewed by Steam. I've never heard a dev say their review was as fast or faster than their expectation based on the research they'd done.

Tell me about it. I'm still mad about Hot Sand of Antartica being abandoned and never getting more content with the twins.
Lol... this made me laugh... one of the worst AVNs out there but props for the dev sticking it out for as long as they did. I mean they named places with original names like "Rotten Town" which is run by Skull. The MC finds mysterious sisters who were captured by dudes named Monkey and Hog and both of those women drop trow in the first 5 minutes of meeting them... Not to mention the whole place was orginally covered in ice but now it's covered in ruins. Where the hell did those come from... lol. Mensa level writting there.

Sorry, did not mean to bust on you. We all like what we like and I am glad you got some enjoyment out of it, but your post really did make me laugh.

Some of the best animations I have seen I may be a minority in this but would lobe some sfx in the scenes although I am sure it's a huge undertaking to do that

Damn, didn't realize it had been that long. GUessing it's just a technicality with the timing but not one I follow real heavily..

technically it's just the f95 tag, not "officially" abandoned by the devs, but it doesn't look good, there is nothing but radio silence for several months, so I wouldn't get my hopes up
Yeah I understand that and usually, once it gets to this stage, rarely is being pulled back.

it happened before, just recently with The Arson Betrayal, so it's not entirely hopeless. I also really want to see Mary again :ROFLMAO:
And here I thought I am the only one liking her. Tho now... she have a bit of competition with the new girl, forgot her name, S something.

Did something happen last summer that caused a mass exodus of Patrons? The last post they made in August has almost no likes, and zero comments, as opposed to over a hundred likes and multiple comments on the previous posts of seemingly similar content.

I remember enjoying this, but the update pace was pretty slow, even before this.

They've been redoing many of the renders for copyright reasons for most of last year and I don't think there's been anything new regarding that so they are going to bleed a lot of subscribers until they can actually continue the story.
