Still, we made these changes because we ultimately decided that they would not affect the overall story.” “I think I can say that I have a deeper and more thorough understanding of my own story than anyone else. “Of course, I understand that a character’s age and clothing style can greatly affect the mood of a story,” Wasabi added. Currently, there are no other sales platforms that rival the scale of Steam and its user base. “As I’m sure some of you are aware,” Wasabi continued, “if Steam decides that your game contains ‘sexual exploitation’ of minor characters, you do not get a second chance to submit your game. However, we ultimately only proceeded with this change because we were certain it wouldn’t affect the story. Whatever the case, in both CyanDream and future works, I want to explore different ways of expressing the scenes the story calls for.” All told, there are apparently six images that have been replaced.Īddressing the change to the character Rin’s outfit and age, Wasabi noted that “the purpose of this change was to make certain the game would pass Steam’s review. For those of you who think this is even lewder, I salute you. Wasabi followed this up with a post via Laplacian’s English Twitter account, in which they shared some of the new non-18+ CGs and noted “although we have made Laplacian an ‘all ages brand’, that doesn’t mean we want to remove references to sex entirely, so this is how we’ve gone about it in Cyanotype Daydream. From the outset, I designed the story with the possibility of an all-ages version in mind, and as such I wrote it in a way that any cuts made to align with this new rating would not affect the overall narrative experience.” I, Ono Wasabi, am solely responsible for the plot and the writing of Cyanotype Daydream. Furthermore, the amount of additional new content far exceeds what was cut. “What I want to stress,” they say, “is that although certain depictions have been cut, the essence of the story remains the same. In a lengthy blog post explaining the Steam release, writer Ono Wasabi addressed the audience’s concerns over the game’s new rating and the changes made to a character’s outfit and age.
