Next Public Demo will release Uncensored!!


As you know, current public demos have been censored. While it was somewhat to gain additional support, one of the major reasons was some time ago I saw reports from other adult game developers of being denied the ability to sell their game on itch (Link the post I did about it). To play things safe, I locked the game in SFW mode for a while. However, the latest demo features the new endure punishment minigame - This presents artwork that changes during the minigame, but only in NSFW mode. Since I haven't seen any recent reports of adult-only games on itch losing the ability to sell, I decided that the next public demo will release completely uncensored.

In additional news about the upcoming demo, while coding is almost done, aspects like the game's visuals and audio still require lots of work. It will likely still be a while before it's released. However,  I've decided that for those who want to experience the WIP of the demo but don't want to use a supporting website, I'll be releasing an early access build of the demo on Itch with a small price tag. This will go live as soon as I finish up the main coding for the game.

So this is the current plan, but do take note, some news could happen with Itch that might have me backtrack or modify these plans.

I'm glad its returning to be uncensored here on itch, and that that whole payment processing stopping sales fiasco seems to be over.

Hopefully, I might still try and play it safe and have the SFW mode on by default, but players can easily change to NSFW mode by going into the Settings Menu.

From what I remember, those accounts did not lose the ability to sell their game on itch. But rather itch did not want to act as merchant for them. While itch did not state clearly any specific reasons, I suspect a combination of different factors, including international tax issues and a cost/risk evaluation (all of which are higher for adult games). The accounts would still be able to sell with direct payments, but that is not possible for some accounts, due to payment processor restrictions. But they would still be able to have a game page and advertise their steam, patreon, subscribestar and whatnot. I would hardly call that a ban on adult games, as some called it back then.

Having sfw on by default will not gonna change anything about this.

But having a sfw mode will definitly open up some interesting possibilities, including making it easier for some streamers to play your game.

You might even consider a "sfw" release that can be (officially) patched to be nsfw. Some anime style games do that. Possibly to have a non restricted rating on Steam, so they can be browsed unrestriced and even sold in markets like Germany.
