In beta MC and Nami had a talk before his date with Bella where it's revealed he can only get hard if he thinks of Summer. Which is tbh fucking sick considering she was like 12 or 14 when they last saw each other. They also had this talk if you do the Nami romance and go to the lake. Not sure if both of these conversations were removed in the latest rework.
You're right, I did notice that but hadn't done the math and yes it's weird. But not as much as the idea that a biologically normal 18 year old has control over their own erections. Especially morning wood. His guardian should have had him tested because he's got a hormonal problem, cancer or actually mis-sexed. Simply passing it off as 'psychological' is both absurd and borderline criminally negligent.
That it was all done as some cunning ploy to get it onto steam Germany just seems remarkably self defeating as it fails to satisfy anyone, while also being frustrating in the extreme due to the clearly lost potential.

Bro, this was discussed, re-discussed and over discussed again and again for tenth times here.

Are there sex scenes in the first season of BaD? Iirc yes, a lot.
Are there sex scenes in the first season of SG? As far as I know - no.

Would a player expect a sex scene in a game marked as "Adult only" like BaD?
It's safe to assume, they would certainly expect it.

Will BaD live up to these player expectations? Definitely yes.
Can the same be stated about SG? Absolutely not!

Do you understand now? By presenting SG as an adult game, Ocean would not be breaking any of Steam's rules, but it would be giving players the completely false expectation that the game would have sexual content. Unfortunately, most people still refer to "adult content" as "containing porn", although this is not entirely true.

So, Ocean removed everything that could be considered as porn content, even just images of genitals. Added the "Occasional Nudity" tag and submitted the game to Steam. They carefully reviewed the content, especially Bella's boobs, and told him - this was not an Occasional, but Frequent Nudity!

As I understand it, he tried to change their verdict, but Steam was adamant and he gave up. As a result, the game received the tag "Frequent Nudity" and with it restrictions by age and country. And here we are. :HideThePain:

I won’t even start about the part of the story related to the music licenses; if you want, you can find all this drama in the thread and in the dev logs.
I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not often in this thread to know what you talk about in more than 1800 pages, the last I knew is that he did it to be able to sell it in German market because of the censorship there in steam, which was counterproductive because in future updates with more quantity and frequency of explicit content would have forced him to make practically 2 different games if he wanted to continue accessing certain markets.

If he finally explained the reasons and they were completely different and had to do with player expectations it makes more sense, but it's not the reason he originally gave.

You do understand this entire game is about people with mental trauma and hang ups right? I mean everyone constantly talks about how fucked up the MC is. Its almost all the conversations with his family. Bella is fucked up because of her sister. That one girl was traumatized by an abusive mother. One was bullied because she was poor. These are not mentally healthy people. Thats kinda the point, them working through that. His hang up with Summer isnt because it was sexual, but emotional. It's his emotional hang up manifesting physically. Well that and his panic attacks. Of course its not healthy.....its not supposed to be and even he knows that.

I furthermore always interpreted it like Nika just doesnt want to get horny. We dont know if he doesnt has stuff like morning woods but his whole pysche is completly uninterrested in sexy times and only very slowly changes.

this is part of the reason why I like this and and yes even the MC. Cause we should see the growth of these characters over time and how they get over the issues especially the MC. Honestly I like the MC the best when it comes to character growth cause he knows he is fucked up and is actually wanting to better himself.

In the end with the update is the steam version identical to the patreon version or is it still worth waiting for the other one for those extra renders?

damn, this game really created a character as good as Bella and then there's literally no sex in the game cause MC can't get hard unless he thinks of a 12yo girl he fell in love back in the day...wtf, what a wasted potential, story is good it's just such a waste to have amazing renders and characters on an adult VN and 0 sex...
