Can someone who preordered post the update on the store page? It's clear people there don't check or even know there's a forum about this, and aren't aware an update was given.

Small update on Gakuen Abaddon, the sequel of the game, set in a high school. It's important to take into account that Sakuraprin has stated that the game will not have any porn content, puzzlingly.

I'm fairly certain BL content will still be present (unsure about yuri), but the game is still very much so in active development.

So is there any good news regarding the October release plan? Is everything going well according to the plan?

Halloween would be a fitting release date. Not sure if that would outweigh the annoyance of waiting that long...

Will this games planned release be affected by the issues with the storefront, as has happened with Zero Chastity: A Sultry Summer Holiday!?

Seems that our game were banned without further notice... :(
So it'ss gone my dream of buying this game with localized price ಥ_ಥ
Sadly it means that our game will lose a lot of visibility, I've heard that Castle in the Clouds DX sold more than 20k copies in one week after it's release in Steam ;u;

FAKKU QA
The game was banned from Steam it seems but it's still releasing on the 19th here and on itch.io. Not a member of the games team but I figured that info should be put in this thread.

I don't know anything about this game, but just looking at the second image on the opening post it doesn't surprise me that the game did get banned. It's pretty well known that Valve doesn't want certain things on their store, and if your game has anything that could be seen as underage or even within a "grey area" it's going to be banned.
School settings and anything that a reasonable person would consider underage is going to get your game banned. Period. Even things like rape, or anything too hardcore will get you a ban sometimes, or at the very least you will be forced to alter it. Doesn't matter if you say everyone is 18 years of age, or whatever grey area you want to come up with, it isn't going to help. That 10,000 year old Vampire written in the story isn't going to matter.
And just because certain games made it through previously doesn't mean everything else is going to have a "green light". I saw in the twitter thread announcing this was banned someone bringing up Nekopara, well, the latest Nekopara game had its adult only DLC banned from Steam also. If there was no "all-age" version it would have been straight up perm-banned also. The previous Nekopara games would have likely been banned also if they came out today.
Remember, Valve is not a porn company. They're not a FAKKU, Mangagamer, JAST USA, or anyone else. They're not going to fight for your hentai games... They'd stop selling all of it in an instant if they thought it would be serious damage to their company. They don't want certain things on the store, and that's perfectly within their right.
People just need to stop buying porn on Steam, because all you're doing is giving Valve power within an industry they don't even care about. Look at the Twitter for this game acting like it was practically doomsday that they got banned from Steam. What do you think the result of this will be? It'll be more creators bending to the rules that Valve has decided upon. Content is going to be shaped and created around the rules Valves has it place, so it won't be at risk of being banned. Is that the hentai industry you want? Probably not. So stop buying off of Steam.

More or less. These are really good points however would be good to consider certain points:
-the "underage" screenshot was nothing shown explictly in the game's page, they took the utmost care to make the page as safe and attactive as possible, so you can certainly discard it as one of the reasons of the Ban. this is not a "porn" that was made to be released exclusively on steam, there's no reason to consider that Valve will have that kind of influence in these games, since they already exists in other sites, but with different language. if it would happen to be lauched in steam, there's a chance that it was made for the possibility of reaching a wider public, and also to be played by fans that would want to have it in another language and with localized price :3
-This game was made with RPG maker but all the text use real "sprites" rather than "characters". it means that was a real Herculean task to get this entire game translated, and many of us even thought that would be considered nigh impossible to be made. Is TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE that they would express in the official twitter how disappointing this event is considered to them after all this effort, since STEAM could be a major flow of visibility, something that perhaps they aimed for. Abaddon is Not DLSITE crap disguised as game to sell porn CGs, it's a actually good and decent game that deserves to be regarded.
So, it's not that this event should be considered as some sort of mistake, as if the FAKKU team did wrong for trying to "Sell porn in a totally unadequate platform" or something like that. It was a unfortunate incident that someone in the valve staff evaluated this game as bad and unfitting.
At least the Team gave us an opportunity to have it by other platforms and compromised to release it in the right date.
