Unfortunately, I can't release it anywhere else due to tax/legal reasons. I'm still looking for other marketplace that is trustworthy, has no legal/tax issues, and is welcoming to small adult content creators.

Thanks!
Adding animations to past games would require a total remake. I switched to a different game engine. While "from the outside" looks fairly similar, the inner logic is drastically different.
Making a remake of old games is something I'm considering. Probably a bit later, they're not that old yet. Or I'd take games that did not have great reception and enhance them with animations, AI-powered art, expand on content, and so on.
Thanks! I always felt my writing for sex scenes was not great, so I started to consider an alternative. I happened to make this pony animation "modular", so I reused loops to build this minigame.
Initially, I wanted to make an interactive/reactive system, but turned out it's not that easy and constantly moving the mouse might not be exactly entertaining.
Yes. Steam does not allow unlicensed AI-generated content anymore so I'm not using it.
Backgrounds are purchased stock assets. Characters sprites and illustrations are hand-drawn. The titular Core background element was made in Blender 3D with slight render overpaint and composed with a stock background image.
Released a while ago: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2113000/Cats_in_Heat/
It's not in "endless update" development.
Unfortunately I am aware of this issue. I'm in touch with my local tax lawyer and I was advised not to put my games on other storefronts because of different legal basis and payout systems - Steam pays each month, itch.io whenever I ask, which kinda messes up accounting.
But as with everything, things might change, so I might be releasing games on itch.io too, in the future. Or Steam changes their system to comply with German laws (or maybe German laws will change).
Demo by definition is a free sample, also for marketing purposes. But yeah, there's no point in them, my latest game didn't have one and sold unimaginably well.
Oh, come on. Most of my games are $3, and this one is even $2, often on promotion. Nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything. I'd understand complaint about $60, but $2? It's literally price of a snack or coffee.
Next game (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2194510/Retired_Hero_Gets_Slaves/ ) is bigger with more story and characters.
Bigger games need bigger sales for more work. And that seems a little problematic. I made slightly bigger games earlier and sales were disappointing for the amount of effort. I'm making bite-sized games, if some gets more attention, I might make another one similar, just like Lustful Ponies series. Better this way than to spend a year on a game nobody will care about.
Not true. All sex scenes are full, explicit and uncensored. Some time ago Steam started to accept Adult-Only rated games. You have to opt-in in your profile settings to see those games. Everything is clearly visible in screenshots on Steam page.
You just might want to have a second, alternative Steam account so the game is not visible to your friends on profile ;)
