Salacious Sakura V0.03 and a PSA!
Normal /
CompressedI am aware this is a public post. I apologize to my subscribers, however due to recent events, I had to get 0.03 specifically out to everyone as 0.02 could not stay up. Please see the bottom paragraph for details, if you're interested.
This one is near entirely "content", as in there is no side quests. Only character and main quests. A lot of work flow and back end work was done which left little time for what, in my eyes, is tertiary content.
Changelog:
- Scenes for Kai, Akari, Brigid, and Kafy
- Touch menu addition for Kai and new character Leche
- Bug / typo fixes
- Not in-game stuff, but I've gotten a handle of several processes which should make things smoother in the future.
I am aware a some-20 minute update is strange coming from me. And it's unacceptable, regardless of outside work that I did and other factors that happened this month. So, with that, in one week's time I will be releasing a bonus patch with additional content. In it will be;
- Fully working gallery
- Additions to several repeatable scenes
- Reworks of several old animations/renders bringing them up to new standards
If you want a "fuller" experience, I suggest waiting for that patch.
Censorship
The keen eyed will notice that I have removed Reina and Mio content from the game. This is not something I have done lightly. Those on in my discord server probably noticed my min-crash out. This was the hardest choice I've ever had to make in my dev career. This is because of the massive censorship wave that hit Steam and Itch, banning "family" themes. Now, Substar currently fights for artist's rights and understands that this is fictional content, and I love that about them. What I don't love is how slow their support can be, being the small company they are. Until something concrete puts a stop to Visa and Mastercard's puritanical, and outright idiotic, censorship of fictional content, I have decided a pro-active approach is best. I'd rather (possibly temporarily) remove the content now, avoiding the ban-hammer and the long wait time for a review to get the game back in your hands. I have retained all the files needed to insert the content back in as quickly as possible, should the best outcome come to pass. So, what can we do? The current meta is to call, call, call. It's clear that they're both becoming increasingly annoyed, but that's what we need to do. They started this fight, it's up to us to finish it. Be polite, but assertive. Let them know we won't take this lying down as was done all the other times they've done this.
