Nephise Begins tells the player what happened at the time before Nephise was an orb collector. The main setting is forest again, but this time without snow, instead a more sunny and foggy weather. And there are more hills to climb. There are animal skulls that you have to gather and then use on tall vases.

This sounds like someone describing a dream they had.

They just removed the most blatantly porny screen shots from the store page. Which was apparently enough for Valve.

Warning - Game is NSFW & is NOT appropriate for kids, this game contains excessive nudity. X-MiGuFIGHTERs is a retro inspired 1v1 fighting game that should be approached lightheartedly.

Retro inspired does not refer to the gameplay of 90's fighters so much as all the time spent masturbating to the figures in Poser 2.

Also people generally don't want challenging AI, they just want to enough resistance that it feels satisfying when you push it over. When AI actually starts doing things that human players might do, it gets quickly annoying.

Yes. Also the quote isn't just referring to the anatomy of people, but also that anime is moving further and further away from anything that could be described as recognizable human behaviors and motivations.

Despite how horrible it is, I'm curious. When one of those monster girls is loving the protagonist there's a bar that starts in the middle and starts going left and when it hits the end the protagonist cums gallons. Maybe it's a button mashing mechanic like QTE edging?

Are these games surprisingly quality with their mechanics? Like, let's be fair to the player and give them another shot if they're skilled enough?

What are the precise game play mechanics when my protagonist is raped by a monster girl?

Apparently it's a game where some new suspicious guy moves into your neighborhood and your task is to enter his house, look through his stuff, install hidden cameras etc. because you know he's up to something.

War Of Rights is a pretty decent game that just happens to have chosen the worst name imaginable and be a honeypot for racism.

It's more than fair to call War of Rights terrible even if the game play is competent by shovelware standards. I don't believe for one hot second that the name was picked for any reason other than getting cash from "Great Lost Cause" chuds.

It's not well thought ought because selling porn to minors sounds like an easy way to get dragged very publicly in to court in a bad way. Especially if your product is ostensibly not porn because the media will eat that stuff up given the chance. At this point so little effort is put into vetting the store front that someone at valve should be sweating buckets about what a liability it has become.

Hey, what if we make them click a box certifying that they were 18 or older? Problem solved.

True story in America at least, the “close door” button in elevators often isn’t wired up to anything. This is not true for every part of the world, however.

Disability law requires elevator doors remain open for a minimum set amount of time. The close door button normally only does something when the elevator is in repair mode or fireman mode.

Pretty sure some of the earliest works that can count towards steampunk would be the works of Jules Verne and those stories generally involved rich people going on adventures iirc

For what it's worth, Captain Nemo is probably Vernes best known creation, and pretty much a stock cyberpunk protagonist. An angry misanthrope, who has had everything taken from him by the great powers of the world (in this case colonial empires), waging war against them in-spite of being fully aware of the utter futility of his cause.

good case in point would be the Rape Day controversy of a couple years back, where Valve announced they wouldn't sell the game but did so in a statement that very deliberately declined to specify what content standards the game fell short of

They only pulled Rape Day after it started to get news coverage from non-games media. House party added some streamer who has an only fans account, but she isn't someone who would be considered a porn star. Holodexxx's VR stuff featuring prominent porn stars is different, it's something that might attracting attention beyond whoever is currently buying steam porn games. I think that is the real rule is nothing that may get wider attention and cause parents to uninstall steam. Compared that to the million asset flip hentai games or even more high profile adult games like Hunie Pop or Subverse all of which passes well under the radar of what most people ever hear about.

Always a strong possibility. The other trick I've heard is take your shovelware game, price it unreasonably high, and then mark it 80%-90% off on sales to try and get people who will reflexively buy anything that has a steep "discount".
