こんにちは Hello Puzzlers!
We have worked very hard to finish the badges, emoticons, wallpapers and trading cards. We have finished them all!...
see them here:

BUT we have not hit a metric which STEAM now needs for us to even APPLY to have them all go live. :(
What this means:
***Marketing
Due to a death in the Family we have worked as hard as we can on improving the game itself and ensuring you all feel we are listening to your opinions and using it to improve our game.
This also means we have not had too much time to work on the marketing, hence although the game has been steadily getting better our sales metric has not. This was never a huge goal with this project until now... since we cannot add the badges, trading cards etc it is stopping us from making our game A LOT BETTER.
I have tried spending what money I have left on running marketing campaigns etc, using social media and forums etc but it just has not helped the numbers increase very fast.
***Pricing
When we launched HENTAI PUZZLE there was an error with international pricing, a mistake I made. the game was too high for some markets and had asked as soon as we released for the price to be dropped, to what we initially wanted. But it was not able to be changed during that period. This was something we feel that stopped us from getting the numbers up, we did get the quality players though and we thank you all for that and are working hard to make sure you get your months worth. XoxO
We had a customer from Korea who was upset about this, we understand completely and are very sorry we have dropped price so early after release. We leant a lot about NOT releasing during the BEST sale of the year as well lol.
What we hope a lot of you already know is that OUR game is THE MOST RESTRICTED (age gate wise) Hentai game on steam. We made sure, so that we did not expose youth to our content. It came with a penalty, the game is very hard to find as a lot of adult users do not have the settings required to even see our game.
With all this in mind, the solution we have so far is to put our game on sale in the hopes to get enough people to download the game that we can add trading cards, badges, emoticons, wallpapers ASAP.
We would love to hear your thoughts, and make sure we are moving forward with a community that understands the situation we are now in.
Love to you all.
We do not want to make any of you feel as though we are giving you the run around or hustling you! hence why we want to explain and give you all a chance to communicate with us. :)
As it stands we are looking at putting the price down to get the numbers up, as we have tried every other angle we can afford at this stage.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts, your feedback! and ensuring if anyone is not happy with our decision/s that you can voice them and we will listen and do the best to rectify the situation.
