I sincerely apologize to all the players for the current inability to continue the development of "Peeking and Teasing". I deeply regret that I am unable to proceed with its development, at least not temporarily. However, please rest assured that sponsored players need not worry; I have not given up.

It has been an honor for me to get to know you through this game. Your continuous support has been greatly appreciated. I do not wish to burden you with difficulties and negative emotions, as it is my responsibility. You only need to enjoy the happiness that the game brings.

Let me briefly explain the situation. Last year, we prepared to launch the game on the Steam platform. After a series of approvals, the result, as everyone knows, was a failure. This means that my game cannot be widely distributed and published, but can only be a part of niche adult games. At that time, I thought, "It's okay, if it can't be launched, then so be it. Niche markets exist too, and we can still rely on sponsorship to develop!"

However, a recent series of events has put me in a difficult situation. My sponsorship platform, Patreon, directly banned my account without any notification or explanation, and players' sponsorships were also revoked. Alas, just like that, all the fans I had accumulated over the past two years disappeared in an instant. I can guess the reason for the ban; many places do not allow adult games to involve direct or implied themes of incest, which would violate regulations.

Therefore, I am temporarily unable to continue developing this game. As you all know, my goal is to become a full-time independent game developer. I cannot afford to spend two more years completing the game out of sheer love, nor do I want to hastily conclude it. Hence, I plan to release a special version, version 0.71 (a dream sequence of the protagonist). Then, the game may become an annual update, starting from version 0.71, where I will make the game openly available for everyone to play for free to promote future games. Once I have the capability to invest in development again, I will complete this game.

I'm not avoiding the situation; I will develop an adult game that complies with regulations and can be listed on Steam. As for future game development, I already have plans. I will pursue two paths: firstly, continuing to create large-scale adult games while avoiding themes that cannot be listed on Steam; secondly, regularly producing lightweight adult games with simple plots and strong interactivity. The goal is to complete two lightweight adult games annually without compromising the development of larger projects.

Of course, I cannot guarantee the achievement of these goals, but I will strive to do my best.

Lastly, I apologize once again to all the players who have supported me. I feel deeply saddened, lost, and confused. As I write this, my heart is heavy. I recall conversations with players where some talented game developers gave up, which is truly regrettable. Despite the quality of their games, persistence would have brought rewards. I also pondered why one would abandon their hard work. Today, I finally understand; who would give up when there is still hope and opportunity? It's a desperate act! The risks associated with adult games like mine are too great. Even if I were to establish a new sponsorship platform, there's no guarantee it wouldn't be banned again. I dare not challenge fate. I earnestly request players to understand the significant adjustments I'm making to the future game development direction.

I'm deeply sorry, but please rest assured, I won't be defeated. I will soon regain my confidence.

As I embark on this new journey, I will release the trial version of the new game along with version 0.71. So, it may be a few months before we meet again. Please continue to support and follow me.

Wishing everyone all the best.
