Hello everybody! Remember about this devlog about Steam? 
I started the application eight months ago and today the steam page of the game got approved. I was waiting for the 31st of July to announce it happily because it would mark just one month to the 5th anniversary of the game and... then the censorship situation struck. What now?

Emergency Uploads
I'll be uploading a copy of the games on google drive and ko-fi as back-up, just to be safe. I'll start with Deep Inside, Emerald Wasp, KOI and the O2A2 games. I will provide links to the localizations aswell. If anything goes wrong and my accounts get flagged, I know which sites sailing the seven seas store the copies of my games. Any of these (steam, ko-fi, drive, etc) will be free as always.

Steam Build: Yes or No?
I will still go through the application. There's no way I can recover the money for the Steam fee, so I'll have to ball.
I know it might sound tone deaf given the situation, but please understand that I applied eight months ago and at the time there was no way I could foresee this happening. I will also have to advertise the page or all of this will be for nothing, the game is already obscure as it is. So obscure that a gamedev not knowing about my game used the same title on Steam and dealing with that gave me a good dose of anxiety. Now the censorship. It is very demoralizing to me, because I saw it as an opportunity to finally get my game seen and it's slipping away... again.

About the Censorship
There's nothing I could add on the situation that hasn't been said already on social media these days.  The situation is so bad that I've personally seen SFW games inspired by Greek mythology or about ghost stories taken down, I'm talking about perfectly safe games. Some content might not be my cup of tea, but I'll still stand for the possibility of it existing as long as it's legal. As adults we should be able to discern and choose for ourselves. 

The 5th Anniversary
The anniversary of the game is the 31st of August, it would be great to celebrate together! 
Five Years is an important milestone and I was planning both the steam port and an extra for the players. I'm not starting contest or celebrations because I fear I might flop so hard, so it's just me giving something new to the players. Due to the high mainteinance of Emerald Wasp and the developing of Rule of Salt I was planning this to be the last new content update for Deep Inside. But now if I publish the extra on itchio it will be shadowbanned and if I sneak the link from google drive nobody will know (I learnt this from Emerald Wasp, most players don't know about the extras).

Please, this time I really need your support. If you can word of mouth the game, please do. 
And please support the other indiedevs, we all feel discouraged in this situation...
