 I saw some examples of Renpy visual novels in early access there, so I guess it´s posible, but damn... so many questions and strange things I have no idea... Just curious... ¿Does any one know any tutorial or lemmasoftforum updated thread to upload a Renpy game into Steam?  Thanks in advance! :)

if the exe is in the root then its the same as uploading any game i think. you set up your depot, specify the game exe (read the steam doccumentation) and upload a build using their tool (or zip)

Remember that your game must be censored, but you are allowed to have an uncensor patch on you homepage, but you are not allowed to write about the patch on your steam page.

Sure..? I saw some other hentai games on steam, and you must declare them with adult content, so I think it should be necessary... probably I will have to try some of them... :S

jonnymelabo

Yeah I saw it, but it´s why I´m asking if someone knows a tutorial for it, much easier, because those guidlines looks a bit complicated and for a renpy game it´s not all needed, I think ^^

jonnymelabo

so... no .rar? I will have to check it... thanks ^^

Azurezero

had to be a zip.

Just be aware they seem to have really odd rules regarding "adult" content unless that's changed.

It's pretty simple, actually, it's the same process for all games. You just upload your games files using their own command line tool, and then point the build to which .exe file it should run when users press "Play". That's it. You just follow their generic guide for uploading games, and it works. And waffel is correct. Your game must be censored. It's true that some hentai games are on Steam, but they all have the sexual content removed. No explicit sex allowed, and no suggestive or sexual nudity allowed either. What those other hentai games usually do is put a SFW version on Steam, then host an 18+ uncensor patch on their website.

Additionally, you're no longer allowed to directly link to the uncensor patch yourself. I think you have to basically just hint at its existence and let people look it up themselves or find some other workaround, but if you put in a direct link I think they'll punish you for it.

Es posible pero supongo que tendras que subir una version censurada y ofrecer un parche aparte.

waffel

Try Melty's quest! Oh yes!

jonnymelabo

Todas las notícias que leo sobre el tema son del octubre del año pasado, estoy viendo que han hecho bastantes cambios respecto a este tema, pero ciertamente no encuentro ninguna notícia en en el que acepten contenido para adultos... lo raro es que tienes que especificarlo en el juego, lo cual no entiendo entonces para que piden que se censure... todo muy raro... xD

jonnymelabo

Damn... What I don´t get, is they ask you if the game contains nudity, sex and violence and if it´s for adults, so it should not be censored if that is asked, but anyway, I will have to keep looking if anything has changed or if I will have to put censor... Thanks for all your comments! ;)

Nyrreah

La hipocresia de steam no conoce limites, luego permiten cada mierda... Bueno tienes que especificar que es de tematica adulta pero no puedes incluir nada explicito ni como han dicho otros usuarios antes que yo, un enlace directo al parche sin censura pero tienes que dejar caer, todo muy discreto claro, una manera de poder quitarle la censura. Para mi el peor ejemplo fue Ladykiller in a bind, que por culpa de la doble moralidad de Valve lo destrozaron.

Miragian

Let me check with someone else that's gone through the process and see if they can give me anywhere to have you look.

So next release will come out at 30th May at steam? But it won't be complete game right?

jonnymelabo

No. Forget the date of that picture, I just put a random date... xD I still studying when will and if I will be able to upload the game to steam, but definetly will shorter or most probably censored version of the game.

ataoz

Thank God! For a second , i thought skynet captured you and transformed into one of her terminators in order you to finish the whole game in 2 weeks :P

Miragian

I'm afraid the documentation for Steam is spotty. They DO have an internal documentation site that is helpful when it covers things - there's a link to it from the Steamworks page. Not sure what the person you mention is trying to figure out, but as a general rule I recommend trying the help site first, the Steamworks forum second. - Quote from the other person.

Arcane Azmadi

Hahaha, forget about putting this game on Steam now. No porn allowed, because the self-righteous, holier-than-thou busybodies of the American right have gone crying to Valve whining "WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!" Seriously, don't even bother. Steam sucks.

jonnymelabo

what I´m seeing is if I would like to upload the game to Steam I should invest a lot of time adding a censor option (obliged if you download it from Steam) to be able to upload there... Such an idiocricy really... taking in mind that there are games with such violence and sex and there always games for adults somewhere, and they ask you if your game has such things... Geez...

Arcane Azmadi

Actually, they're even cracking down on games where the sexual content is hidden and has to be reactivated via a patch- the "Hot Coffee" scenario, they're calling it, after the infamous GTA: San Andreas fiasco. They're apparently wanting developers to COMPLETELY remove any trace of sexual content or nudity from their games or else have them taken down. On the other hand, you might be able to get away with putting your game up because it doesn't look like anime, and they're really biased against anime. But why would you want to? Steam is a cesspool of crap where an indie game struggles to get noticed among endless seas of asset-flip garbage.

jonnymelabo

Yes, but those hentai games uploaded there recieve thousands of visits per day, that´s something very useful for marketing purposes ^^

Not all Americans. This was done by Steam because of a very vocal minority of religious busybodies. We'll fix this, just takes time.
