Tech news : Feedback on Steam - Advice for creators. (Patreon)

Hello,

I'm creating this topic to help the creators of independent video games who would like to offer their game on Steam.I proposed Lucie Adult Game at the beginning of January and I finally managed to get the important criteria to be published.Here are the returns from STEAM- No picture of a real human (with clothing or not). Nothing. (blur is not enough)Your app has failed our review because it contains mature content or themes, but the Mature Content Survey doesn't currently describe the content accurately, or is missing important information in the section "What should customers know about the Mature Content in your game?".- Intellectual property : Music, pictureYour app appears to incorporate intellectual property from third parties. The Steam Distribution Agreement makes it your responsibility to provide Valve with all necessary rights to distribute your game. We can decline to ship your game if concerns have been raised about intellectual property.Please provide us reasonable assurances that you are not infringing on the rights of any third parties whose IP is incorporated in your game. Those assurances could take the form of license agreements, or a legal opinion from your attorney analyzing the intellectual property issues and explaining why you don't need licenses. Without such assurances, we don't plan to ship your app.- No sex in Steam Achievements.Your build has failed our review because the "Steam Achievements" are not PG-13. Please change your achievement names, descriptions and/or images so they achievements are appropriate for younger Steam users (13 years old).- No link to Patreon or website in game.Your build has failed our review because it contains a call to action to donate through a non-Steam website. (I forgot one Patreon icon on a desktop).- No controller Support. Input field in renpy don't work with the controller.Your build has failed our review because the "Full Controller Support" category appears on the store page, but the game does not appear to fully support the Xbox One controller. The user is not able to access some of the game's functions using only the controller.- Bad description of mature content :Please give a more accurate overview of the mature content in your game, such as sexual acts or extreme violence. You may also need to further clarify if the app involves topics that customers may have a sensitivity to, and would like to be aware of, such as sexual assault/non-consensual sex/BDSM, drug/alcohol abuse, self-harm, or suicide.Conclusion :Lucie is my first game, and I'm not very confident about the notion of intellectual property.I have indeed put a lot of video games or movie references. I can't afford to take the risk of a lawsuit about it.So I won't offer Lucie on Steam, it would be too much work, but my next game will respect their condition from the start.

I hope this helps you in your creation.Steam is a must to have. => Without promotion on steam, 2000 people had added Lucie in their wishlist in 2 weeks !Steam seems to be huge in terms of potential, it's the professional world. !

===> However, I will offer the HD version to patreons >= 5$ within a few days. I have to remove the steam censor and it's ok.

Eric.
