So it took a week, but the game is now on DLSite! I had a little hiccup getting on there, as they said the censoring wasn't sufficient when I first sent in the game. So now DLSite has a version with slightly heavier censorship than on my blog.
Since I had to make two versions with different levels of censorship (something that I wanted to avoid), I suppose I'll go ahead and release a complete uncensored version on my blog. I'll have that up and ready in a couple days (currently at a mate's house partying it up 'n' all).
The game does cost about twice as much on DLSite (since they take about half of the profit), so if you can, obviously, buy the game through my blog and tell others to do the same.
Thanks to everyone who's bought the game so far! I'm really grateful for all your support! I made enough money that I'm buying a new computer (which has been on my wishlist for about a year or three now). I'll finally be able to play Skyrim (and on some nice graphics settings, whoop whoop). Next on the list is a car, which, because of my awesome pizza making skillz, I'm actually fairly close to being able to afford! Assuming sales continue and I reach the 1k goal for this month, then I should have a car soon :D
After getting a computer and a car, the only thing left is having enough money to pay off student loans. I don't know if y'all know, but I dropped out of college in order to work on this game (and because of depression and junk). College definitely wasn't the place for me, but I've still got about six grand in debt because of it. Awesome, right?
After those have been paid off, well, I'll move out of my parent's place and start being an adult I suppose. Hopefully I'll be making enough sales that I can afford to simply make more games as a full time venture! It's still a little early to tell if that'll be possible, but I'm hopeful!
Thank you for not making it exclusive to the DLSite. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIt costs more and I would need a credit card to get it. Which is why I have not bought Lab-Still Alive. >_>'
Ah yeah, I really don't like DLSite's commission rates. It's nearly half of the sale goes to them. Hopefully people will see they can get the game from my blog for a lot cheaper!
DeleteSales on DLsite..aren't looking too great. The first thing that comes to mind is that there's no indication of in-game sprite sex in your previews. It just looks like a platformer with CGs.
DeleteHmm, that's a good point! I'll try contacting Curious Factory and see if they can add something about that...
Deletestill buying it here because you use paypal (me and DLSite REALLY don't agree, i think it hates it T^T) but i do hope everything goes well for you dood (money wise) and you lucky bastard, i want PC skyrim (yay for mods and my comp is crap) but i'm good with the PS3 version for now at least, and less bugs then the 360 XD (had both got rid of 360 lol)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd honestly prefer if people buy it through my blog. It's cheaper and easier to update (I just upload another file, rather than having to go through CuriousFactory).
DeleteVery excited about Skyrim :P I bought the PS3 version 11/11/11, hehe, but it was kinda a let down. I can't wait to mod it to the point where it's the game I wanted it to be!
oh you have a ps3? mind me adding you? :3 oh and "i think it hates *me " derp XD fixed
DeleteUm...by any chance, would you happen to have it on the English DLsite? Because I can't tell what in hecks name I'm exactly clicking with the link given.
ReplyDelete\Yeah it's coming the the English site, it just takes a lot longer for whatever reason :\
DeleteDroppin' by to say congratulations on releasing Nagai Yamiji! I believe it was no longer than 2 months ago when I saw the NY demo, aaaand it's already out. I'm curious how long of a development time it took until its completion. With CG and all, pretty darn quick!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! :) It took about six months from start to finish, but I definitely fell like I could have been more productive and gotten the game out faster. Towards the end of development I think I became more motivated, but even then I can't say I didn't slack off occasionally :P
Delete6 months for create it's game, very impressive oO !
DeleteI'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but no matter how I open the (very fun looking) game, all the pictures are messed up. I took a screenie so people know what Im talking about

Hmm, very strange... try redownloading/reinstalling the game? There's no coding issue that would be causing something like that, that I can think of.
DeleteSomething is wrong with your Paypal account. It's not receiving money right now and I want to play the full game? Please help!
