For now, I'm still not close enough to say anything solid, and there are a number of events that have been occurring in my life outside of game development that are going to make it hard to promise it will be ready anytime soon. When I have a proper release window, I will announce it. 

The number of endings in the game is still not completely certain as I adjust plans for assets that are being made and consider what I can add, but it will definitely not be fewer than 5.

I don't quite understand, and can't replicate your problem.

Are you unable to download the file, or are you having problems installing a file you've already downloaded?

Are you trying this for the Android version of the full game or the demo?

Is your device compatible with the Ren'Py engine (minumum Android version 5.0+)?

I did try using Patreon, but it didn't work out. Ultimately, I found my biggest audience on Steam and itch.io, so those are the platforms I've focused my attention on.

Apologies for the inconvenience, but that's out of my hands. Itch.io has recently had it out for adult content at the request of payment processors, and I'm lucky to still be able to charge for this game at all right now.

No. If you want free content, you can play the demo version.

Keep trying, dude.

I've tested the game's Android version multiple times and I can't replicate your issue on my device, and I don't know what would be causing it. Can you tell me a bit more about the device you are using or share your "log" file from storage/android/data/com.maid_mansion.program/files/ ?

Are you running the game on Steam? If so, check the language setting for the game in the Steam UI.

I am fine, and not having any life issues at the moment. This game's development is still happening, but slowly. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for your concern.

It is still in development.

You will need to contact Itch.io support, as stated in https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#9-refunds

The "old version" was never finished, and isn't playable. I might share more of the old assets after the game releases, but it won't be anything playable.

My current plan is for 5 endings.

I don't know when yet, but yes. I plan to update it with the newer assets sometime before release.

The game isn't released yet. The only purchase option right now is to pre-order. If you unknowingly bought a pre-order and want a refund, see: https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#refunds

Yes, I added a bunch of animated gifs and updated the page about a week ago.

I don't know exactly when yet. Maybe 2025? There'll probably be an updated demo before the full game releases, at least.

I don't know when yet.

Yes.

Dunno about Prince of Suburbia or other games, or why their content was allowed. Perhaps Valve's compliance team overlooked it. Perhaps it was patched in after the game was approved. Perhaps Valve's policies about said content has changed over time. No matter the reason, I don't think it's worth risking Maid Mansion being taken down from Steam just to add a very minor bit of content. If you really want the removed scene on Steam, you can just move a "bpatch.rpa" file from the Itch downloadable version into the Steam version's files, and that'll restore the missing content.

As for the game keys, the only explanation that I can think of is that the other adult games you mention are distributing "Beta keys" rather than keys for standard retail copies of the game. Beta keys override things like region-locking, which would allow customers in Germany to own the game, but those kind of keys are definitely not supposed to be distributed to the public.

It's still in development. I'm not the fastest dev, and I work with small teams, so I apologize for the long wait between games, but I can assure you that it WILL release eventually.

Not yet.

Follow the instructions to ask Itch.io for a refund here: https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#refunds

The key should be redeemable on the downloads page you get once you purchase it. There are a couple of guides around the internet for how to do it, like this one:
https://itch.io/t/67604/how-to-get-a-steam-key-from-your-itchio-purchase

Redeeming a Steam key is just an extra option, and it doesn't affect your ability to download/access the game from Itch.io. You can feel free to download the android version from itch while also using the key to get the Steam version on PC. This should also work for bundle purchases.

Mahou Mating is only available for pre-order right now. It isn't finished, and isn't available for download.

If you paid for Mahou Mating, didn't realize it was a pre-order, and no longer want it, you can ask Itch.io for a refund. See: https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#refunds

I will certainly consider it.

Yeah, it's a different style. I've also been told they look more fairy-like with these designs. Glad you like Noire, though!

I use Butler to upload my game builds to itch, and it's worked out pretty well for me when it comes to updating them with version numbers that I use across platforms like itch and Steam. That said, I've been attempting to use it to upload some bonus content (a soundtrack + art pack) which I don't plan to patch with updates, and want to leave on the store page without a displayed version number.

If you upload files with a browser, it will not use a version number, but if I upload with Butler instead (in this case, I can't use the browser upload because the file is slightly larger than 1GB), it will always use a version number, and make that version number visible on the game's page. In this case, it's adding "Version 1" automatically to my art pack, and I can't hide that from my game page even though it is wholly unnecessary.

Is there a way to upload with Butler, but have an unspecified version number, like how files are when uploaded from a browser?

I don't plan to have a female protagonist in this game, sorry. 
There is a female protagonist option for Slimy Sextet, which has art by the same team.

Yes, the game has a male protagonist.

Not much. I'm focusing a lot more on developing Slimy Sextet right now, since it's closer to releasing. I've given a few previews of how this game is going to look with new artwork on my Discord, but it will still be some time before I can make a new store page , then a new demo, and eventually release the final game.

The game isn't released yet, so you currently can't get it for Steam. But you'll be able to buy it there or buy it here and get a key when it's ready.

Step 1: Wait until the game is released.
Step 2: Buy it here on itch.io.
Step 3: Download the APK file and install it on your android device.
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit.

Nothing solid yet.

I don't know yet.

Sure, why not. Feel free to make videos of any of my games. I'd prefer you link to Steam rather than Patreon though. (https://store.steampowered.com/dev/Belgerum)

Not this month, but soon.

1 sex scene. It should take about 5-10 minutes to play.
