Is there any way I can appeal a ban on Discord? I subscribed on Patreon "Instant Build Access + Itch.io Key" and I couldn't join Discord because I got banned 3 days earlier.
Second question, will you try to make some changes to meet Steam guidelines and release it anyway?
Our game was removed because it offers extensive body customization, and the platform expressed concerns that users might misuse these features to create inappropriate content, despite the fact that we have implemented strict safeguards that make such content impossible to create.
where can I re-download version 39. I paid for it and then thought wow let me download version 40. Sorry not impressed. how do I get version 39 back. I don't want to have to get stars to see the stats.
When I installed 40, it gave me a different exe file to activate the game. I used my previous shortcut to access the game and 39 loaded up. After looking closer, there was a new folder made containing the new files for 40. I hope this helps.
Yes, but what folder do I put the downloaded zeda files? Also It looks like theres only 6 slots for creations? Will there be more slots for more creations to use In game?
I found 40, it had a different exe file and 39 ? But yeah, I bought it twice not realizing that owning it was going to suffice. It looks like it added a couple things. Gotta do some more digging. Thank you
I purchased Ver 39 four days ago and then 40 hit and it looked like I had to buy 40. So I did. My question is do I just unzip it and let it install over 39 or should I rename it something different to keep the games separate ?
I didn’t see anyway I could download 40 without buying it again. Was I wrong ?
when you press "buy now" at the bottom under "paypal" is a "I already paid for this" page. That should send you to a page that explains how to access your purchase, you didn't need to re-purchase it...
What question the if the game will update automatically or the release date?
So if I buy beta 40 it will update to beta 41 and 42 and 43 when they drop or do I have to buy each beta when one comes out bc if so then I’ll just wait until the full game is out! Also will the full game drop on here and patron?
I usually check out the steam page for the release date cause it would say the release date but now it’s terminated !😢
Hi, just purchased. I couldn't get the VR to work, I tried launching from inside steam VR but It's only appeared on the desktop, even after selecting the VR mode It wouldn't show Inside my headset. What's the correct way to launch VR? Played a little on the desktop and wow amazing work so far! So there's a way to download and use other creations? Amazing potential! Keep up the great work. Thanks!
Can't you get it on Steam again under the same url? (for the people who have wishlist it) and have the character creator removed from the game just for the Steam version of course.
Then later down the line add Steam workshop support for custom user character models maybe.
Why not just make the character customizer separate from the game? So that way the base game could go on steam and then users could download the customizer on patreon or something?
Hmm I would challenge that and contact Steam Support, sounds like an Valve employee gone rogue again... seems highly unfair.
I remember a friend got his Steam account completely removed by a Valve employee just because he had "fuck" in his user name. Quite a few of his friends complained to Steam Support and he got his Steam account back because of the backlash. 👍🏻
I already tried contacting them a couple of times, their response was this:
We aren't interested in revisiting this decision. This app has been banned and cannot be reused. Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.
Yeh sounds unfair but I get this a lot on Youtube and the problem is, once something gets flagged, more eyes get on and you either get the reprieve or go deeper into the hate once the seed has been planted, (only takes one overzealous person) then they start looking at other elements. I honestly believe, based on my experience, that there is more to this game they did not like than what they suggested to the developer. I've had videos removed from PHUB due to the bondage theme for example, and options for unwilling participants. You can never use the argument that "well, X game has this so why am I being singled-out?" That seems to make matters worse.
Do you plan on adding more tickle tools and tickle features? Like i was thinking like an electric tooth brush as a tickle tool or a hair brush and I was thinking maybe you could make the stomach a tickle spot too maybe?!
also this might be to dark and brutal but I would like to see an electric chair in the game! Sorry that might sound twisted but for some odd reason I like electric chairs!!! But yeah just some suggestions.
Guys it's been kinda long time since your iOS version of Beta 39 does not working and after complaints of more people there wasn't even one response on that issue. Over month
If this game can’t be released on Steam and it has to be released on it or any other websites does itch support VR so like even if I get this game on itch can I still play it in VR?
Our game was removed because it offers extensive body customization, and the platform expressed concerns that users might misuse these features to create inappropriate content, despite the fact that we have implemented strict safeguards that make such content impossible to create.
that's a REDICULOUS excuse on their part!!! What about Koikatsu Party?!? They can't even say that the "Violent" nature of the game is an acceptable excuse. Mad Island is REALLY brutal... Honestly these games aren't really for me because of the violence.... but I DO care about how hypocritical they are being. I get that they have harsh guidelines to follow, and it makes a lot of sense on their part to have these boundaries in place... but sometimes it just seems like they make up rules on the spot and there's no real conversations being had about these games among teams of people. It almost seams like they gave the moderation job to 2 guys who live in opposite sides of the world and don't know how to send an E-Mail.
You should post a link to somewhere we can send E-Mails too them on your behalf... I have a feeling a lot of your followers would spend the 5 minutes to write up a strongly worded message about how ridiculous their "Rules" are.
what happened to the steam version? I thought maybe the dev was dead or arrested but they replied to a commet 4 days ago why wont they tell us whats going on!!!!!

Good luck.
Will there be a Linux version in the future?
There are no plans for it, however some users have mentioned they are able to run it on Linux just fine
damn, Couldnt get it to install on steam deck where i played the demo
You can still play the itch version on Steam deck using the itch windows launcher.
what happened to the Steam Version

awww thats a shame i really liked the game well if it stays off steam i can always come here
but is it weird that it did this to only your game along with another i had in my wishlist
Is the version over at vrporn.com going to be updated anytime soon?
Are there any plans to have a Linux version? My new PC I'm building soon is going to be running Mint.

do you have a specific month for the release date?
We dont, over the next year we hope to work on the story and once that is finished we might be able to prepare a final version. Hopefully by 2026
is there a demo
Sorry there is not
use to be on steam but idk what happened to it about a week ago...
On the Discord creations thread, where do I put the downloaded character files at? Then how do I use them In the game? Thanks
Hello, use the character creator to import them
Yes, but what folder do I put the downloaded zeda files? Also It looks like theres only 6 slots for creations? Will there be more slots for more creations to use In game?
put them in any folder, then import them with the character creator. There are more slots for custom characters.
Okay thank you.
is there a place to look on the game to see what version you have running ?
Yes, in the main menu
I found 40, it had a different exe file and 39 ? But yeah, I bought it twice not realizing that owning it was going to suffice. It looks like it added a couple things. Gotta do some more digging. Thank you

when you press "buy now" at the bottom under "paypal" is a "I already paid for this" page. That should send you to a page that explains how to access your purchase, you didn't need to re-purchase it...
I didn’t know, I wonder if I could contact Itch and let them know of my duplicate purchase ?
In my library it does show me having the same game twice. ??
if I get the beta 40 will I get beta 41 42 43 when they drop?
Also is the planned release date still January 2025 or is it changed? On steam is used to say but now it’s gone!😢
Sounds like the Steam deal is dead. If you scroll down in this thread you will see that question answered multiple times. It would have been nice.
What question the if the game will update automatically or the release date?
So if I buy beta 40 it will update to beta 41 and 42 and 43 when they drop or do I have to buy each beta when one comes out bc if so then I’ll just wait until the full game is out! Also will the full game drop on here and patron?
I usually check out the steam page for the release date cause it would say the release date but now it’s terminated !😢
You get all future betas when you buy now.
oh ok good
Its true there's no plans to create an standalone version??? (APK file for Quest without PC)
Unfortunately is not in the scope
hey do you have a discord group because i tried to join tru several supposed invites but none worked?
Hello, try this one https://discord.gg/c25BbmPZYj
how do i stripp them?
Use the dematerializer gun
Where/how do you get the 4 digit codes ?
Sorry, is a feature not supported on Itch

Thanks!
Hello, can you try any of the solutions here? https://the-villain-sim.fandom.com/wiki/VR_Help
Will members who subscribe to Patreon for $8 have access to Beta-43?
yes
are there plans for the game to be back on steam and if not you could try epic games
Most likely the game won't return, Epic games doesnt accept lewd games
How about Gog?
They do not accept games that are not already in Steam, they are very weird
So it will be only on Itch io Patreon and the other one to have acess to the game? :(
my way to get the game on brazil is gone pretty sad
Are there any plans for mods where the person is into it, and or a switch I guess I?? Otherwise I guess this just isn't for me but thats also fine.
no plans for that, sorry
Alright not for me then
And or I guess I'll be modding then
you need to redownload Beta 40 from Itch. Beta 40 is the most up to date public version available right now
what happened to game in steam?
Steam removed it
Can't you get it on Steam again under the same url? (for the people who have wishlist it) and have the character creator removed from the game just for the Steam version of course.
Then later down the line add Steam workshop support for custom user character models maybe.
They said:
Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.
Im assuming the game files are safe to download?
Yes all good
If I buy game frome here, Do I still get this game for more other update?
yes
how to refund the game?
can you rebind the keyboard keys
Yes from setting
question how long is the game if you 100% it.
I have no idea, sorry
Why not just make the character customizer separate from the game? So that way the base game could go on steam and then users could download the customizer on patreon or something?
The game has been banned from Steam and cannot be reused. Re-submissions of the game, even with modifications, will not be accepted.
Their words
Man, well thanks for the update. I will be purchasing it on here then.
Why was it banned from Steam?
Hmm I would challenge that and contact Steam Support, sounds like an Valve employee gone rogue again... seems highly unfair.
I remember a friend got his Steam account completely removed by a Valve employee just because he had "fuck" in his user name. Quite a few of his friends complained to Steam Support and he got his Steam account back because of the backlash. 👍🏻

Is very sad they won't give us any opportunity

also when will beta 40,41,42 be out on itch.io
Hello! We would eventually add more tools for tickle, however we would not add any brutal or gore tools.
We do not have a schedule for when next versions are released and they will be released when we are done working on them.
Cheers!
thanks
I've found a lot of bugs and I got the logs too. How can I sent to Dev?
Are there a discord so I can contact?
I've already bought the game on itch.io
Hello, you can share them in our Discord https://discord.gg/c25BbmPZYj
Guys it's been kinda long time since your iOS version of Beta 39 does not working and after complaints of more people there wasn't even one response on that issue. Over month
you might be referring to macOS since the game doesnt not support iOS on iPhone/iPad. We think we will have a fix soon
will this game have futa as well?
Hello, futa is out of the scope for now.
and thats why i wont buy
If this game can’t be released on Steam and it has to be released on it or any other websites does itch support VR so like even if I get this game on itch can I still play it in VR?
yes
@Jakatack09
Buy on itch and add it to Steam as a non-steam game.
Then right click in Steam and select "Include in VR Library"
will the game go back to steam
Most likely no even tho we are doing everything we can to get it back, Steam is not giving us any opportunity.
Will it be released on any other stuff like itch or gamejolt?
It is already on Itch.io
I know i meant the full game
will it be on any other websites if you can’t get back on steam
The full game is on Itch.io
can we get an explanation on why the game was removed on steam?

I would contact steam if you can about it.
Will it have to be released on other websites instead like itch or gamejolt?
What happened to the steam page? Can we get an update here?

What happened to the steam version? Hope you are good though. I really like the game.
I got the itch.io version and some of the features that are available aren't working im not really sure what could cause that to happen
Why was The Villain Simulator removed from steam
