Just a little heads up about censorship for the developer

[Bepisman]

I see you censored nipples with a tree branch in the demo. As far as I know, nipples are allowed on Steam because I played games like Huniepop and Dragonia that only censors genitals and keeps breasts fully exposed. So unless there are genitals in your game, you don't need to censor anything (Actually, even genitals might be allowed now because I heard Super Kinky got released fully uncensored just recently.)

Good luck!

@Dr. Deerface, thanks a lot for your advice and for playing our demo! From what we’ve heard from other developers, it might be a bit too early to put fully uncensored erotic games on Steam. Despite statements that Steam has made a month ago about their commitment to make the store more open, their TOS still hasn’t changed. To enact new policies they need to introduce changes to the store itself and add tools to properly age-gate adult content and navigate different laws and regulations in different countries. Until then, we need to follow the old rules.

Thanks for the video. It was very useful, I wish I've seen it sooner! I was a little skeptical about the new policy too. Although I still don't understand how Super Kinky got away with it this early.

In any case, I think my initial advice about breasts is still valid. I know nipples were always allowed even before this policy came up. As I mentioned before, HuniePop (which was released in 2015) only censored genitals and bodily fluids on Steam. Nipples were completely exposed. But despite that, some games still kept censoring them. It might be the "inconsistent rules" the video talked about. But I personally think it was more to do with developers simply assuming nipples wouldn't be allowed without consulting Steam. I think you should see what you can do. I know an uncensored version won't be possible, but you may still end up with a little less censorship than you initially thought.

Good luck!
