About distribution of the Hard version
Thank you so much for your support.
I hope to release "Touch The Girl! - Hard version" within six months. I'm now thinking about how to distribute it and am planning 2 ways below.
Sale on the web store (like DLsite.com) same as the previous work
Sell the game for about 2500JPY(23USD, 20.5EUR), and the paid DLC(costume sets) is sold for 500JPY(4.5USD, 4EUR) and this Patreon site continues as a blog and beta test site as ever.
Advantage:
- Outright purchase - The updates are permanently free, so you only have to buy them once.
Disadvantage:
- Expensive and patrons must spend more.
- The contents may be affected by requests from the store.(ex. Sailor uniform was subject to regulations in the past.) In the worst case, sales will be suspended. (like previous work ;_; ,although that possibility is very low because this work is not a parody.) About censorship problem, I'll use the method of applying a patch file anyway.Distribute all content here Patreon with the pledge of 2or3$ per month.
Advantage:
- Lower initial costs and patrons don't have to spend more.
Disadvantage:
- You must continue the pledge for updates, so it'll be an actual subscription.
Above all, I wrote honestly. I want to choose a way that's convenient for you after all, so I also plan to decide on a poll function here. Please tell me your opinion if you'd like. Thanks.

And I can't say it loudly, but Paypal is available on DLsite.com. (probably still now) Please ask their help desk though it may be little troublesome.
Everyone, thank you so much for thinking seriously. I understood well there are both opinions. For the time being, I would like to have a poll in the near future. Honestly, I want to do it, it looks amazing.
I just want to support the best eroge I have ever played. thank you.
J.Gross, thank you so much for your support!
it might be a way do do as you want for selling it, i go there quite a bit myself, but i thought i would mention it as a possibility
Interesting. I keep it in my mind. Thanks for your information, Irony.
have you considered selling it on itch.io ?
Konbanwa Sawatex, Like Rémi i buy KasumiRebirth V3.31 on 2014 at Dlsite.for my part having already used dlsite which is quite complicated for the updates. I would prefer Patreon with a tier at 2/3 $ which is very reasonable, and I think very stimulating for you because if the counter explodes there will be more content offered and websites that offer free play will be forced to pay multiple times for updates.
Thanks Alex, How complicated on DLsite.com? I'll set up a direct link to the update file. It should be able to download soon (if you don't forget log-in password).
I personally also like buying it once outright, just feels right. Maybe leave the uncensored patch information to a patreon tier along with dlc costumes sets and in the game with the patreon link in the menu say something like "for additional costume sets pledge on patreon". That being said maybe there should be a tier that also includes the game download for people unable to buy it off DLsite.
ShimaHunter, Thanks for your opinion!
And uncensored patch or mod?
Don't worry. I'm going to make it available to everyone.
how about trying both?
i would have to stop supporting the project should you choose to sell it on an online platform, i do not have a credit card and paypal is notoriorously anal about adult websites.
Thanks Karlimero, I've understood it enough.
I don't know man, but I have been here for a long time as 1$ supporter and its doesn't sound fair for long-timers, I think you should give them to people who paid in total over an amount of $
It's the best if possible, but the processing becomes complicated. For example, I may have to send update files individually for every update.
I'd like a one time payment personally
Both would be good but I would prefer an one time payment.
Thanks, I think "both" are confusing. Don't you think so?
And why not both ?
