[Sakuraprin] Abaddon: Princess of the Decay

It really doesn't matter what was displayed on the store page or not. You do understand that Valve personally goes through and checks these games before they're approved from release, right? It's a very thorough review, and they'll find whatever is within. For example, they discovered NSFW content in a Mangagamer game that was supposedly an "all-age" version. The game was banned for 18+ content, while Mangagamer claimed there was none. Guess who was right? Valve. So it doesn't matter how attractive you make the store page, if there's anything that a reasonable person might consider underage then it will be banned, and Valve will find it. That screenshot would definitely warrant a ban in my opinion.


There's plenty of reason to think that Valve will have influence on these kinds of games... Look how devastated the twitter was... Risk being banned on Steam in the future or make alterations to character depictions and stories? More visibility and money or not.


You're kind of making my argument for me when I say that content is going to be shaped to fit Steam's guidelines in the future. It may not happen with this circle, but it will with others.

It's understandable that they're disappointed with the ban, but I really doubt this is shock to anyone who's familiar with Steam. Whether it's DLsite crap or not is irrelevant to the matter. I'm sure it is a good game in your eyes, but it won't be on Steam, because it has content that Valve doesn't want on their store. I personally won't be getting it, because it has homosexual content.

No, I wasn't aware, but it's irrelevant to me either way. I'm just not interested in buying a game that has that kind of content in it. I don't care if it's Yaoi or Yuri, I'm not interested in that and I won't buy games with it.

No offense to anyone who likes that stuff, or anyone who happens to be gay IRL. That's just not content that I enjoy, and I don't want to spend money on a game where an unknown amount of it's content is devoted to something I don't like. I'd rather put that money towards something that I'd like better,a dn it's as simple as that.



Yeah, I don't know anything any about this game except that it has homosexual content, the appearance of underage or "grey area" content, and that it was banned from Steam.

There's no argument here, at least not that I believe so. I'm certainly not looking at this as that. I was just sharing why the game was likely banned, and why it shouldn't surprise to anyone that it was. Valve is very thorough with their reviews, and if you want to be on Steam you have to be very careful about the content within. If you have doubts on that then you should (if possible) probably cut the game down / remove potentially problematic sections and then have it restored with an off-site patch.

And look, I genuinely feel bad for the people who worked on the game, because I do understand it's a serious blow to the games vision, and they will lose money because of it. Unfortunately you got a lot of people who just buy this stuff on Steam, and they're the big part of the problem. My personal opinion would be that Valve wouldn't sell any porn content.

When it comes to adult games I have two rules, one is that I don't buy things with mosaics (which admittedly I do break on rare occasions), and the other is that I buy the games directly from whoever published it. If FAKKU is responsible for something being localized in English and released uncensored, like Chii-chan for example, then I'll buy it on FAKKU. Same thing for anything from Mangagamer, JAST USA, Kagura Games, Denpasoft, whoever else. Is Valve responsible for bringing that Orcsoft title over in English and uncensored? Fuck, no. So why would I give Valve 30% of the sale? Valve having so much control in the hentai games industry is not good for anyone. People need to support the stores I mentioned above directly, because they're the ones who actually care about the games and the industry. Valve does not.

And sorry for going off on a little rant there, but clearly I'm not a fan of Valve being in this industry.

Sorry to seem impatient, but have someone an idea of the release hour? Thank you!

Bug Report: The first line of the game, before the lines 'Before you enter the mansion you must answer my questions.' is in Japanese.

Hi
First of all, thank for your hardwork for this translation.

Get a message error at the same dialogue everytime

Abaddon: Princess of the Decay ---
File Graphics/Windowskins/Letter_437 not found.

Then the game crash.

Possible Bug Report: I am unable to refill the water bottle, even though there is a giant bath full of water. Not certain why I have the ability to refill this bottle, because I've not run into a single place to do so in the mansion.

I'm getting the same error as Erika7 above. To further elaborate it's happening near the very end and then the error will pop up and crash the game.

To anyone looking to do a manual fix, I just went into the folder, under graphics->windowskins I created a duplicate of Letter_24 and named it Letter_437. That at least let me move on.

Thanks for such a quick fix on that!!

UPDATE: Looks like the new update causes a new crash on the East route (this is my second playthrough in case that's affecting anything). When I get to the lake and go into the cabin and read the note the error says "Script 'Game_Map' line: 2176: Errno::EACCES occured. Permission denied - Save/gallery_load.rxdata".
I'm not sure if it's as a result of transferring my save folder to the new version, or from this being the second time I'm encountering the same CG, or something else. I moved everything over to 1.0 and was able to get through without any issues.

Are we able to play the game in full screen? Doesn't seem like there are any options for that in-game.

I may be missing something... but in the west side route, I cannot find the red key in order to complete the objective in the main hall I presume I need to, which sits behind a red door. Right now I feel trapped in an area I've inspected enough times to burn through multiple sleeps and am nearly ready to press 'give up' to get my supplies. I have to ask, though, where is that red key?

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally found it.

Not sure if anybody else has come across this but near the end of the game (don't know if this is exclusive to the east wing route) after Seijiro goes crazy and you have to either fight him or talk him down Homura and whoever the second party member is lose all their hearts after the event. I still managed to finish the game since the only fight after this is the final boss but just wondering if this has happened to anybody else.
