You and I have very different definitions of censorship. This game is not a porn game where I'm censoring what is initially it's purpose. It's a plot heavy story game.
The free version is the full version, and the Patreon version is simply a gift among many other gifts to the people who support this game on a monthly basis, which is what I need to fund a new chapter each month. I work with a large team, and this is all of our main job.

I am not seeking any rewards for my work, as I mentioned before the full version is free. The game is simply being funded by regular support of the people who enjoy the work and want it to continue, and the rewards including the optional nsfw scenes are MY gifts to these people as my thanks.

This is the way I get to release an actual interactive story game for free for the people who are into story games not porn games, and I also get to make my patrons (the people who are actually interested in my games) happy.

What you believe that should and should not happen is irrelevant, as you are clearly not my audience. Your rightous quest for fighting against censorship on an indie game distribution website, against indie game developers who do the very best they can to fund the games on their own in an industry full of cold-hard economic decisions that are both shitty for developers and players alike is funny to me, but go off, I guess.
Again, rating an indie full game with a 0 star because you couldn't get your fix of digital dicks and tits is ridiculous.

You have a right to not like the way I distribute my game in a way that makes MY audience happy, and I have a right to find your pettiness funny.

There are thousands of porn games on this website, good ones too. Please move on. You are not entitled to everything.

Sorry to burst your little bubble, but it's not for you to decide if I'm your audience or not, and as a matter of fact, I am.

And you can present it however you want, the existence of a SFW version and a NSFW version make the first one a censored version. This can't be the full version either, that's not the definition of "full", and I won't give a good rating to a censored incomplete product. But I am not the one that put porn scenes in my games and criticize peoples for wanting boobs and dicks. It's a bit hypocritical.

So I'll continue to play erotic games that I find on F95zone, ( those with great stories, interesting characters and intriguing plot, and with erotism ) and reward the authors that I like when I appreciate their work. Except when they do everything they can to deter me from doing so.

Anyway, good continuation, you do great games, and I really appreciate them, even if you seem somewhat on the defensive when we approach the NSFW part of your work. If some day you decide to put the complete uncensored version of your games here, I'll give them good ratings and if you decide to make those full version paying, I'll gladly buy them.

This is a ridiculous conversation, and it will keep going in circles.

I'm not defensive at all, I'm just making sure I'm clear about what this game really is. I feel my content will be very boring to a player who is looking porn games. Which is why your definition of "full game" is faulty in this context. This is a story game, and the SFW version gives you exactly that. No different ending, no life or death decisions based on the few extra scenes of the NSFW version.

I'm not asking you for a good rating either, I only said I find it petty and funny. I am also not critizing you for wanting tits and dicks, obviously. I'm just judging you a little bit for demanding them on a game page that clearly doesn't have tits and dicks.

Thanks for your compliment, even if it came with a rating threat. I will do my best to continue.

I don't plan on releasing them on itch.io or steam at the moment, as I do need to fund my games so I can keep making them. Selling them individually just doesn't cover the cost, and I'm grateful to my patrons for making these games possible.

If I do start selling the nsfw versions individually one day, you will be the first to know, so I can finally get my full rating.
