Poll - About how to distribute the Hard version(ended)
This poll has been completed. Thank you for your cooperation!
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 (same as the previous article). So, I would like to take a poll and hear your opinion.
1. 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.2. 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.3. Both above
4. Others (but except for "free" ^_^; )
If you voted for "Others", please write the details if you'd like. Please write comments freely If you have any opinions.
Anyway, it'll take time to complete the game, so I set this here until then. Thanks for your cooperation.

Isn't it possible for you to sell the product on your own website? I think that would be a nice solution where you get the most out of it.
Considering the time and effort of payment and other management, it's impossible. Thanks for your suggestion.
I think patron will be the best way,but only if project will be popular enough,many creators of adult content on patreon get enough sponsorship for distributing their project even for free.
You can see the situation of the F.O.W. new game in the steam.
Interesting! thanks for your information.
I don't know much, but how about Steam? They lifted a lot of their unnecessary restrictions about a year ago, and this way will be the best for fellow users here
I've been watching Steam too, but I don't really know the current situation because their standards for the adult games are so unclear. Probably, it'll not pass even if I apply for this game now. I'll look at it for a while. Thanks for your suggestion Sutasu.
I'll admit getting it on the DLsite with free updates sounds great, but i always tend to wait to buy on their site because of the new coin thing, its so frustraiting because they limit you on how much you can spend so i always go for the 20.00, like twice a year and wait till many things i want go onsale then buy a grip with what i can afford. i really wish they would just let you buy one item using a debit or credit card or even paypal, but alas no suck luck for me, which is why i suggested the site i did. when anyone asks me where to go for fun and naughty games i always start there ^.^
Irony, thanks for your opinion!
DLsitie but please give us a patch to remove censored.
There is so much work in this game, and you should get paid, for your hardwork. But i also see it as fair for people, who has been your patreon from the start, and who already paid over the ''2500JPY(23USD, 20.5EUR)'' This shouldn't be the same, for the people who pays you 1 dollar a mounth and the same counts for me, with 2 dollars a mounth. Especially if they only have been your patreon for 1-10 mounths with those 1-2 dollars. So get paid for your work boy. And also, remove the goddamn censored.
I don't like upload games in DLsitie because have to be censored, please give us a patch to remove it.
yeah, the old game had it.
Hey Sawatex, I'm afraid I don't have any money in order to do this. I don't have a credit card either. Can you at least try to distribute it for free for people that don't have any money or credit cards?
afraid not.
BTW, Can you see this result?
Yes, it appears after voting.
Hey Sawatex, thanks for including our input in your choices! I would say both of the above. This way, you can have decent income for your work, and people who think a single purchase is too expensive, can pledge to get it and cancel when they don't want it anymore, with the disadvantages that come with it. Would it be a big problem to you to do both?
Strelizia thanks for your opinion. I myself have no problem at all. I thought that if there are multiple ways to buy, users might be confused. It'll be necessary to explain exactly then.
