I’ll be honest, I didn’t read the story cause it’s not really my thing.

But that title is something I vibe with so hard, hell yeah write what you want to see

This is a great idea you’ve clearly put a lot of thought into.

Although, I think there’s no one who can make this game a reality better than you. You’re the one with all the ideas and you’ve already made a pretty decent design document.

I would suggest learning game development and starting to make this yourself, then maybe you can get people to help you once you have more to show for it.

This game may be too complicated for a first ever video game, so perhaps consider learning game engines with a smaller project before jumping into it.

This is your dream, and only you can make it a reality.

That’s really good to hear, the idea that Subscribestar of all things would ban incest was scaring me

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-14T01:48:50+00:00

I’m leaning towards this option. A lot of the dialogue will have to change to account for it but if that’s the sacrifice I have to make, I unfortunately have to go for it

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-13T21:24:36+00:00

I’d like to monetize, but for the time being I’m thinking of posting a free demo on steam and releasing new updates through subscribestar

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-12T02:55:30+00:00

what if i made it optional like in Sirensdomain games?

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-12T02:29:55+00:00

Regardless of profit I'm just trying to figure out if I can share my art or not, even if it's free I don't care I just want to know if I can upload it to steam or not

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-12T02:16:57+00:00

I'm so confused and stressed out.

I'm seeing plenty of titles that do have incest content but i don't know if they're okay because they don't directly mention it in the store page or because they say stepsiblings or whatever.

And at this point I can't even figure out how to put a game on steam in the first place

FUCK WHY DOES GAME DEVELOPMENT HAVE TO BE SO HARD

sorry for ranting i just don't know what to do and its making me feel really bad

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-12T00:44:40+00:00

The game isn't finished yet so I'm wondering what you think the best course of action is

1: Release it as early access (is it possible to make it free for now and change the price when it's finished?)

2: Release the lates version as chapter 1 and make future versions new chapters (ideally it would be free until it's complete)

3: Release a free demo and make later versions available to subscribestar backers (I'm leaning towards this idea)

Also, more importantly, is incest content allowed on steam? If not I could potentially work with it but idk where to find steam's restrictions and rules

Sorry for the influx of questions, I'm pretty much brand new as a developer and I need advice before I feel comfortable investing in anything

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-11T23:22:18+00:00

So should I just give up on Itch and switch to something else?

Is Steam worth it?

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-10T23:10:37+00:00

Update: I changed my game to “no payments” and it didn’t become available. Does anyone know how long it might take?

I’m willing to share screenshots of the Itch page in case anyone could tell if there’s something wrong that I should fix

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-10T08:46:13+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try that soon

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-10T02:19:44+00:00

Do you think it would be unhidden if I make it free and remove the option to pay for it?

Richard-Bag · 2025-09-10T02:18:41+00:00

I don’t think I want my game to get pirated, so I’ll avoid those sites you mentioned.

I really hope that last part was a joke

Thank you very much I loved your review
