I never thought this day would come. The day I would write light-erotica (is that the right word?) with tentacles… Oh well, adult-content games do sell well on Steam. ːlunar2019coolpigː

VKT Prime System Crash is on Steam!
The crossover starring characters from my previous stories, with “crashes” and QTEs, is out with 25% discount! The game had been added to the bundles, for a deeper discount.
The Extra and Donation DLCs are out as well, with a new one, a French-only “Script” (pdf) DLC, since this story can’t be adapted into an eBook without a full rewriting.
Have fun, and remember to RESTORE the VKT Prime System when the time is right. 🤩
I have a new story in the works, “VKT Prime System Crash”. A short and linear Crossover staring Alice Lorange, Alt.Lorange, Alex, Denis, Nuri, Taralise and Chiko! With “crashes”, QTEs and Steam Achievements!
I plan to release in Mid-February.
Also VKT Prime System Crash and any other upcoming Ren’py stories won’t have DLCs.
"A.L.A.N. : Rift Breakers" and "Entre-Deux : Cursed" are discounted!
35%!
Time to break some Rifts with Alex and his friends!
Also, Elrica Elsa, Denis and Manolita got work to do…
"Downgrade" version up.
The text got an outline and the narrator’s names are in another color, so they are easier to see.
The “downgrade” announcement...
It’s painful for me to announce this, but I won’t take volunteers translations for my upcoming games and those already on Steam will be “downgraded”, so only French + English remains.
Now, the big question everybody going to ask is “WHY?”.
Because of my autism, I’m a very anxious person by nature. I don’t need much to feel unwell, even sick, and because all translations were made by volunteers, many had given up along the way. Sometimes without telling me. Having to wait weeks, months even, without knowing if the translations will be done or not, it’s too much for my poor mind to handle.
Also, at the FB group where I find the translators, sometimes “debates” happens about (in my understanding) “a translator shouldn’t work for free, because it’s a job”, “if you’re a dev, you should pay them” etc. Even though I didn’t take part in these debates, they always made me feel uneasy and “bad” because I asked for FREE translations.
Plus, when I had remade my games, all previous translations were void since the text had been rewritten in many places, so they couldn’t be used again. That’s also made me feel “bad” because I felt as if I throw all their works into the Trash Bin.
So now, with all that anxiety and stress accumulated, I had to take care of myself to feel better again, and for that, the volunteer translations cannot be done anymore.
I’m already a bit anxious during the creation of a story… “Will I find the right images and music for this story using royalty-free or Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 resources? Will the steam users like it? Will I get a ton of negative reviews? Will I be able to find a proofreader for both English and French text?” Add the volunteer translations to the mix and I really, really, couldn’t take it anymore.
As for my previous games, I could keep them, but it conflicts with my way of thought. You see, the way my mind works, is an “all or nothing” scenario. So, either ALL my games got volunteer translations, or NONE got them. I know it sounds pretty stupid, but that’s how my brain works and I can’t fight that.
The other possibility would be to do machine translations for my future games, so the other translations could stay, but I don’t want to do that. Google Translate… T -T
I still wish to thank everyone who did translate my games and offer them my deepest apologies.
