Update on Steam release of Echoes of Lust
Added 2020-12-02 09:31:45 +0000 UTCHi...
A lot of you have been asking what's going on with the Steam release of EoL. We want to be fully transparent so here is an update:
We have been polishing Echoes of Lust Season 1 for the past 3 months for it to be released on Steam. We uploaded the first build and everything was going great. After they reviewed the first build, they instructed us to remove links to Patreon and re-submit the build for the final approval. We did everything they asked and uploaded the second build.
After a few days, we got a message saying something along the lines that they determined it to be explicit sexual content containing depictions of real people and that the app cannot be published on Steam.
We were like: "Ooookay?". What "explicit sexual content containing depictions of real people"? These are all 3D models, no real people here, mates. I mean... We know the renders look good (patting myself on the shoulder), but hey, they are still not real people...
We then explained there are no real people involved in this game and asked them to explain what was the problem to what they said they can't assist us with this request.
So, yeah... We sent them another message, requesting an explanation so that we know what we did wrong... We are now waiting on a response. And that's pretty much the story so far.
We have no idea what's going on or what the problem actually is. There are other games similar to ours on Steam, so we are baffled. Hopefully, we will get some explanation, but I somehow doubt it.
If you have any suggestions on what we should do or know anyone that works there, feel free to contact us at: inceton.games@gmail.com and feel free to comment your thoughts down bellow.
In case you are a game developer that has gone through this process with Steam or have any information, please share it with us.
Best regards,
Inceton games team
