For real though, feels weird posting something after so long, there were times I felt like posting something but didn't because it had been so long since the last one and it felt weird. xD

Anyway, I just have to post this.

This is the absolute cutest visual novel I've played in like ages and I just want as many people as possible to see it now haha.

Game is called Butterfly Soup, its an incredibly cute game that I'm sad I didn't find earlier lol.


Oh and, ITS FREE!

Though personally I'm gonna hand over $25 just because I love it so much. xD

Heya again!

This is just a follow up to the previous announcement.

Steam has now sent an apology to at least some developers that had recieved these notices, apologizing for the confusion~
The ones I know recieved the apology are; MangaGamer regarding Kindred Spirits, HuniePotDev regarding HuniePop, Nekoworks regarding Tropical Liquor and Lupiesoft regarding Mutiny!!.
Though it's very likely all games recieved it, I don't follow them on Twitter though so don't know. :p

Steam wishes to simply re-review the game.
But like it sounds, it does still mean these games could be removed, if they, after the re-review, deem the game not suitable for Steam.

Is this a simple mistake, or a cover up because of all the backlash?
We will probably never know. :p
As that would be a pretty grave mistake to make.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to post an announcement just yet but, will instead do a follow up announcement once more info pops up.

Due to some weird change of heart on Valve's side, they are now targeting and handing out notices of removal of games unless some conditions are met to a bunch of developers, this including MangaGamer, in regards to Kindred Spirits.

The removal will happen at the end of this month from what I hear.

Some of you may have seen this already but if you haven't, have a read:

It's incredibly sad to see this happen to all Visual Novels currently announced to have gotten these notices. But particularily sad to see it happen to Kindred Spirits, a game we love, and THE game to make this group (where we don't do much but still!)
Knowing how much work went into getting this game on Steam, it's hearbreaking to see this happening.

Other games this affects:

Mutiny!! by Lupiesoft
Tropical Liquor by Neko Works
HuniePop by HuniePot

With more devs announcing them recieving these notices so I fully expect this list to grow.
