If you are going to put your great game on Steam, please check the option here on Itch.io to include a Steam key when purchased here. Unfortunately german Steam users (and some other countries) are left out to buy adult/nudity games on Steam if they have no ratings for Germany on the Steam Shop page. 

Thanks again for your reply.

Glad to hear that you are happy with the sale of your game :)

I'ff pledge via Patreon soon and follow your advice to DM LittleNapoleon directly for the key.

Wish you all the best for your team and the game!

Hey Watsup,

thanks a lot for the clarification of the matter! I didn't know it's that difficult for you and fellow developers to obtain a rating on Steam as the image I posted for a German rating is not the official image from the German Rating agency.

Well, I'll see if anybody can gift me the game via Steam (of course i would pay upfront for it) or going the small step further and buy the key via Patreon.

As far as I understood, there is no automatism installed on Patreon that provides a Steam after purchase. I think you stated in another post that I would need to contact you to request a key. Should I contact you on Patreon after payment submitting a transaction number as proof for purchase/pledge for that tier?

Quite sad to read that the game didn't sell that well for your guys as I think it's very well done. 

On the same boat as Lyskaju - I love your game but it's not available for customers with German IP. The problem is that games beingh able to be sold to German customers is that they need a rating, There are plenty of adult games on Steam that show a rating like this one:

It's  not the official German rating but Steam seems to be fine if it's shown on a games shop site.

As a developper you should be able to tick it on on your Steam shop site/dashboard. If you are able to turn it on put it on a rating 18 because of nudity and still we should be able to see and purchase it,

Unfortunately your game is geoblocked here in Germany because of the mature content. As some games on Itch.io do come with a Steam key I just wanted to check if you would be so kind to provide a Steam key for the people who bought on Itch.io to support your game but can't buy it on Steam do to the censorship.

Hi OnemanVN,

thanks a lot for your quick reply. I am pretty sure you did your research about the german rating but I am wondering how some games/devs can pass with the rating logo I posted in my OP as that logo no way is the official logo the german USK issues for approved games. So I assume other devs just mark their store page as checked/age verified and Steam is ok with it.

This is the official USK rating logo (in different colours depending on the age rating):

I'll buy version 2.1 now from Itch.io. You should see my email address from te payment. It's a mail address finishing with @gmx.de. Just let me know if it works for you or if I need to send you somehow the full mail address.

Cheers!

Your game is not available on Steam in some countries. Will a purchase on Itch.io include a Steam key? Or you could apply the +18 rating symbol for Germany and so it should be able to be purchased in Germany. Steam doesn't like it if 'mature' games do not have the +18 rating for german customers because of our stupid laws. 

It looks like this, only saying '+18'
