@Obscura
The funding idea sounds good :)
I personally hate commercial games since I don't have 20$ to just give away.
Funding means I could spend a bit every now and then ^^

But I kind of think it would be hard to find a cg artists that matches your style o.o
I for example couldn't even imitate it, as hard as I tried.

But I'm sure you done well and I just hope in advance you make a bigger one of this (taken that you don't have any new idea for another great game xD)

Oooh, thanks for your thoughts, Destiny.

Whoa, really? I feel like my style is pretty basic. Oh dear. :lol:

Anyways, an update...

As I mentioned in my blog, as I near the completion of the game, I'm contemplating about sticking the completed version of it in the Hentai section so our more adult-ish readers can determine whether it should stay in the Hentai section.

I am still unsure of exactly how adult this game is, since it doesn't have explicit sex or nudity, but makes references to stuff like *cough* self-love.

Or I guess I could put two versions of it up...though not sure at this point whether it's worth it. There are like, maybe 3 paragraphs or so that I know are a bit racy...just not sure how racy. I just feel they add an element of realism. If it comes down to it, I might make them absurdly sanitized in the safe-for-youngsters version. For example, our intrepid main character could break out in a cold sweat just from the thought of holding hands...or faint from the sight of exposed wrists...will use the word "poopy" instead of other four-letter variants...

Does this sound entertaining or just awful? You be the judge.

If the sanitized version is going to be like that... yuck! xD
If there's nothing explicit then it can probably be safely rated Mature (16+) or NC-15 (or NC-17 if you don't think 15-years-olds can handle it, though I've seen softcore yaoi rated NC-15). I personally don't consider the four-letter equivalents to "poopy" even swear words.
IMO, there's probably no point in releasing a sanitized version if you were aiming for a believable story in your vision for this project.

If there isn't anything really going down there, then just put it in the normal section and mention a warning that the characters TALK a bit about adult themes.
But seriously, if you know yourself a bit in Shonen-Ai mangas, then I see enough mangas that talk about sex a lot and are still +12
And mangas with really censored sex scenes are also often only +16 and not +18
So a bit talk about masturbation wouldn't be considered as hentai, I guess ôo
I mean, seriously, it's a thematic that most hear about when they are 15 at least, why being so cautious about it.

Put it on with a warning but not into the hentai section, that's my thought :)

@ Reikun - :lol: bad joke on my part, sorry. But yeah, I've actually played a game where the G version was like that, but about 1000X more so, and it was actually hilarious to play. But thanks for the input...your words make a lot of sense.

@ Destiny - thanks, good to know.
