Some more Q&A(Questions collected from Ci-en).
🕑 Added 2023-01-08 04:31:07 +0000 UTC1. Will we have an android version?
Personally, I am not very interested in an android version. This game is designed to be play on computer and I don't have an android phone. It will be hard for me to test. Besides, transferring the game from a computer application to an android device would require a lot of tweaking and testing. I am not interested in this. Therefore, what I might do is I could just try output an android build anyway and treat it as a free give away for the computer version. However, I will not spend time in debugging for any android bugs and I will not provide guarantee for the android version. So if you only buy it for the android version, you are at your own risk.
2. Will we release on steam and why dont we release on steam?
It is not we dont want to release on steam. It is just releasing on steam and passing its own regulation are time consuming. I started my first submission on steam in October. It has been a few iterations and today, finally, we have our own steam page! Please note that some info (including the videos) on this page might not be up to date.
Steam page link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2173930/Ntraholic/
That said, steam has its own rule that any developer will need to wait for 2 weeks until they are allowed to release its game. Therefore, we cant publish on steam right now.(Earlist allowed will be 22th Jan). We plan to release on Steam at the end of January, which is around 1-2 weeks after DLsite release I believe.
3. What was censorship? and what I was confused?
-.Censorship in DLsite(and any japanese site) means to restrict access on "unappropriate content“(such as genitals and anus), usually in the form of putting mosaic.
In my first submission I put mosaic on all the CGs and some of the pixel arts. The rest of the pixel arts are already very blurry and also a number of pixel games in DLsite dont have mosaic either. Then I thought I would be fine, but in fact I was "educated" and the submission was rejected.
Some animation of us have around 30-50 frames in total(include the cumshot) so it has been a nightmare for me to censor all these hassles in the last few days. I even dreamed of the mosaics I put during the daytime.
Anyway, I have now revised my censorship and fixed most of the issues(80% done). I will finish all the "mosaic" tonight or tomorrow morning and resubmit once I am done. I won't be posting anything(since I wrote this one already) until receiving the next feedback from dlsite screening team.
4. Will we have an uncensored patch?
Ok... This is the 3rd time I talked about uncensored patch. From what we did and planned; this is something highly possible (90%) but I do not want to give a guarantee yet. I would say we have a plan for this, and it is highly possible. If we really manage to release an uncensored patch, we will release it on ci-en. (Please note that using the uncensored patch requires some learning curve! It wont be as easy as clicking a button and it has a chance that it will introduce some unknown bugs though the chance is relatively low).
5. What we will be showing in the official release?
It will include everything until the end of the anniversary trip. Endings of the trip will be included but endings for the whole game will be added in a future quick update. Also, we will add 9 more CGs in future update, as promised. 6 of them will belong to the after stories. More info on this will be post after releasing the game.
6. Will it be buggy? Should you start a new game?
-. I will try my best to resolve the bugs but there could still be some bugs that I did not run into during the testing. From what I know so far there are no game-breaking levels bugs. If there are any bugs we did not resolve, tell us and we will work on it as soon as possible.
-. I will reckon to start a new game even you played it before. Reason number 1: You won't see all the messages if you skipped the beginning. Reason number2: The game is already way less grindy so it will be much easier to progress than before.
7. The last and the most important question, will we have a Lunar New Year poster?
I really want to give it a go myself to be honest, but I am not sure if I will have time for it. Otherwise, I could ask our artist if he is happy to do so, but surely, after the release.
