🔔 One Month Until B.E.S.T's Full Release… Or Not?
[h2]Hey B.E.S.T.I.E.S ![/h2][p][/p][p]Here we are: 30 days to go before the official release of B.E.S.T on August 29, 2025. That’s huge for us — more than two years of development, passion, struggles, and incredible moments with all of you.[/p][p]But today, we want to take a moment to talk to you openly and honestly.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
[/p][hr][/hr][h3]📊 Development Status[/h3][p][/p][p]Episode 5 is nearly done. We're wrapping up the final scene, translations are in progress, and we're polishing the last technical adjustments.[/p][p]We’re also working hard on:[/p]![]()
[/p][p]Lately, our biggest challenge hasn’t been technical… but political.[/p][p]A wave of censorship has started affecting many narrative games — especially those with adult content, even when it’s mild or story-driven.[/p][p]We’ve received multiple warning signs: reduced visibility, geo-blocking in certain countries, even sudden bans — often with no clear explanation from the platforms.[/p][p]And yet, B.E.S.T is far from being a porn game. It’s a story. A universe. Complex characters. A mix of romance, strategy, and social dynamics.[/p][p]But nowadays, that alone is enough to trigger problems, especially when the rules are vague… or just plain unclear.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🧩 So What Happens Next?[/h3][p][/p][p]We’re doing everything we can to keep B.E.S.T available in the form you know and love — without compromise.[/p][p]But let’s be honest: 🎠The future is a bit uncertain.[/p][p]We’re exploring different options — but one thing is clear: we’re not giving up.[/p][p]B.E.S.T wasn’t supposed to go beyond this arc. It was a one-shot, originally. But your support, the characters, the world, and everything we’ve built together made us want to go further. Deeper. Bigger.[/p][p]We’ve seen the questions on the forums about a sequel or a “Season 2.”[/p][p]Let’s clear a few things up:[/p]![]()
[/p][hr][/hr][h3]💬 What You Can Do[/h3][p][/p][p]If you enjoy the game — if you’ve liked the story, the characters, or just the general vibe — your support matters now more than ever:[/p]
- [p]The next episode,[/p]
- [p]Steam Deck performance,[/p]
- [p]Save file stability for returning players.[/p]
- [p]The price of the game will not change. This was an Early Access project shaped by your feedback — and we’re staying true to that.[/p]
- [p]The future is uncertain. A month before launch, we don’t even know if we’ll be able to release the full version without interference. So making long-term plans is risky.[/p]
- [p]Leaving a review on Steam, even a short one, helps a lot. We're currently at 79% positive, and we’re just one percent away from reaching "Very Positive" — a huge milestone before launch.[/p]
- [p]Join us on Discord and share your thoughts about what you want to see next — or how you think we should handle this situation.[/p][p][/p]
