Sounds like you don't play many western games. There's sex in plenty of western games. Look at Dragon Age, Mass Effect, God of War, Heavy Rain, etc.


Of those games I've only played the first Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and in those games the sex news stations complained about was 2 characters saying they're going to go to their room and it fades the black.

Are there lots of Western equivalents of games like Criminal Girls with lewd minigames and mechanics? Most I've seen is topless women.

See, I can understand HuniePop (well no, no I can't, I think if anyone would like to watch a stream of HuniePop, they would do so regardless, they either already have the game, ....


HuniePop is Porn regardless how you look at it. Just because HuniePop is wellknown doesn't mean its not just another Hentai Game. It's purpose is sex-scenes; its not just a random sex scene in a game; that's the whole purpose, so that's why that is banned: pornography.
....so yeah...

Sorta. In Heavy Rain and God of War 2 or 3 (I forgot) you follow button prompts to perform your "actions" during the sex scene. And of course, there's the old but still famous GTA hot coffee mod from the mid 2000s.

None of the games though have full on depictions of sex though, the original DA was notorious for having characters "allegedly" have sex while being partially clothed, whereas God of War's sex scenes happen completely off screen.

Eh, Dragon Age: Inquisition can get away with a ton of nudity, but that's mostly in post-sex cuddle scenes. The closest you'd get to an actual depiction of a sex scene in video games is probably Indigo Prophecy (I think it was Fahrenheit in non-North American regions) where both participants are naked, and you have to press a button to penetrate/thrust into your female partner in a rhythm game.

Is this the same Twitch that has all those cleavage streamers who have their webcam most of the screen pointed down their shirt with the game window in the corner and they call their donators their boyfriends? They should be used to sexual content.

Is this game popular streaming game? I thought the only games streamers streamed were the popular/fad stuff that brought in views or what they were paid to promote. Looking at the list of banned games, most of them are eroge

This game sounds kinda crazy and badass and I might need it right this second.

...Am I a sociopath?

If I was getting paid 4k a month for a game I'd also slow down development pace enough so that I can keep getting paid month after month. Gotta love the Patreon monies. Smart devs.


To me, that sounds like a lack of confidence in your next project. If it really will take until 2019 though, I wouldn't mind much. I've backed very slow-moving projects and followed some other ones. Sometimes, they really do take this long because the team has their own day jobs and are doing this on their own time.

YandereDev is actually quite upset about the time frame for completion. His original projections was he had intended to complete the game several years ago, but like many creative types, he won't delegate the work, and is constantly tying to add more and more things to it outside of the original scope.

I've been critical quite often in the past every time he posts a new video with all these extra easter eggs, and new game play functions that are well beyond the scope of the game over the past few years of following his blog and progress.


That's worrisome. That sounds like Duke Nukem Forever.

Just as with YouTube, people can put up anything they want. Only the people who are paid to do so would have any real incentive to only put up what's popular. And then you have people like DeadFlip, who manages to earn a good living via Twitch because he'll stream things few other people are doing.

Is this the developer's first game? Because that sounds extremely typical of folks who make a game by themselves for the first time--which I don't really recommend unless it is very small in scope, like Undertale or To the Moon, and in both cases, those games were using limited graphics and a simplistic game engine. One of the hardest things I see new producers struggle with is learning to let go and trusting other people to do the work you give them, and it sounds like this person is in dire need of a skeleton crew at the very least.

Nothing about it I've checked out really sounds worse than, say, Hitman except for the fact that you're doing it repreatedly to innocent people. It's just 3edgy5me, exactly like Hatred(minus the AO rating that gives Twitch an actual excuse).

Who cares about Twitch? There are more and better services around internet like Hitbox, and where they allow 18+ stuff too.
Why focus on this private crappy platform? Leave them alone.

Because it's the most popular private crappy platform. The thing is a lot of games these days are made for the purpose of being sold the next big streaming or YouTube sensation. Especially any game with simulator in the title. I personally don't care about streaming, but it's a format a number of game companies are pandering to.

Well that's unfortunate. I still have YouTube gamers.
The developers and players are creative with this demo afterall, every experiments and new features are fun to watch. I would be disappointed if this game was banned from more platforms or further marketing.
