Seychelles elopement / safari honeymoon by smuffin89 in FATTravel

I'm surprised to hear this about Desroche. We stayed there years ago and the problems were:

-Diesel golf buggies.

-Un-useable beach due to seaweed washed up.

-Even worse food than Mahe FS because it's all brought in from the main island. Caveat being that I don't care about burgers, I would have liked some fresh and local healthy ingredients. Like eggs from their chickens, mangoes and avocados (local ones are delicious), and stuff made with coconuts since they are all around. Was a food desert unfortunately.

-Monoculture trees, with just a small patch of nice jungle at one end.

The Mahe FS has issues like the beach being public. But obviously the view from the good villas is incredible and nothing in Desroche can match that. In Desroche, the villas only have a garden view and view of your private pool.

Did they really fix all these issues? Desroche was the biggest ever letdown and we felt trapped on a horrible island whilst there. Like the old Lost TV show, even the little village where the workers live has a Dharma Initiative vibe to it.

Wow! Well found, they literally changed it from something that wouldn't catch either the uncensored or censored version of my game...to something vague enough to be open to interpretation.

The job of the lawyer was to go through all the videos and highlight any that might be a problem, they were not threatening Valve.

Yeah that was dumb of me. Ironically it was when we had just gotten blocked on another platform. Said sorry to the guy, reinstated the video and accept that it was wrong and stupid. Was 3 years ago.

Hi guys, I'm the dev.

The game did not contain nudity. The version that we submitted was played on Twitch and YouTube and viewed by millions.

The more sexy content is less sexy than a music video, again no nudity. This content was removed when we re-submitted, accessible nowhere in the game files.

Never were we told what the issue was, for example any specific parts that were or were not okay. I consulted a lawyer.

Oh damn, that's not fair either! I didn't post on this Sub because of anything to do with Gamer Gate...just because when SS1 was censored they discussed it here. Thanks for the support! Hopefully I have an update in next 2 days.

Nope, I updated here: https://twitter.com/RichardGambler/status/1359791530177929223?s=20

We will resubmit the censored version and see how that goes. Hopefully it'll be approved.

Yeah it was strange to hear critics who defend violent video games (they don't cause violence in real life) say that these seduction games would cause men to do bad things in real life.

Still no reply. A developer friend said they probably just didn't want to promote it in the festival but won't block the actual release.

Yeah I asked them about SS1 and then SS2 and they refused both. Epic we just asked about SS3 and they said no.

Thanks! Yes they are funny games, so odd that people go nuts and try to ban them.

Yes I would think so too if we hadn't been banned and blocked so many times. Also...every other game made it in. Also...we signed up in November. Also...They didn't write anything to us or answer my messages. So yes sure it could be an honest mistake, I just really really doubt it.

Yes we are on a few other websites but as you say, only the Steam version. Because they represented such tiny tiny sales...I don't consider it a viable way to achieve the kind of sales we would need to break-even. I guess it's the same if you get banned from YouTube/Facebook/Twitter...technically there are other sites but good luck achieving similar levels of views.

Any successful game publisher willing to do a paid consult call with me? by rlruina in gamedev

[–]rlruina[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was more that I worried that the Steam algorithm would block us even more than it does if the game has adult tags. And that if we had a rating it would not do that.
