Steam Has Rejected Boundaries of Morality.

After waiting for three weeks, I finally received a response from Steam — and unfortunately, it's not the one we were hoping for.

Steam has decided not to allow the release of Boundaries of Morality on their platform. According to their message, the game includes “explicit sexual content containing depictions of real people,” which, they say, they are not in the business of distributing.

Now, let me say — I appreciate the compliment. The animation...

Interface issues.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/disabling-we-126560296

As I understand it, the problem was mostly on Android, which explains the mixed poll results. The interface hide button is in the bottom-left corner. Yes, it’s not the most beautiful solution—but making it look nice would require a specialist and budget, and right now we have neither.

There are also some minor issues with styles and ...

Genre cliches in Erotic Visual Novels — Can We Do Without Them?

Anyone who’s ever played an erotic visual novel has run into them.
Clichés. Sweet, silly, sometimes annoying — but oh-so-familiar.

  • The virgin who instantly turns into a sex goddess.

  • “Oops, I accidentally walked into the bathroom while you were there!”

  • The teacher who suddenly starts flirting out of nowhere.

  • The neighbor who “forgot” to wear underwear.

  • The heroine who says “no,” but her eyes scream ...

Pre-Release Hustle: We’re Almost There!

Friends, great news! We’ve nearly finished testing and language integration for the first update of Boundaries of Morality! 🎉 It’s been quite a challenge, especially with Chinese—fonts gave us a ton of headaches, and the interface kept breaking. But we made it! And speaking of the interface, let’s talk about it honestly.

I know it’s… not great. And I’m pretty sure people will complain—I get it, and I accept it. Honestly, I don’t like it myself. It’s the o...

In the first update, we will introduce a Memory Gallery. However, achievements and collectible cards won’t be ready just yet—we don’t want to delay the release because of them. They will be added later.

What you see here are just concept sketches of the interface, and it may change.

The release is coming very soon—we’re in the final testing phase, and we still need to translate everything into five languages...

🔍 Attention to Detail.

Ah, how I love little details… but sometimes they cause unexpected problems. 🤦‍♂️

Take something as simple as a tattoo on a character. Since the project was developed in two stages – first the prologue, then the VC endings, and then back to the new project – some details were forgotten along the way. And now I suddenly realized that in later events, the tattoo… is gone. 😬

Well, that’s a problem. I’m not sure what to do. I could pretend it just washed off in...
