I'm already with Regsoft. A lot of sites ask for a Regnow ID so I though I'd get one of them, too. Can't have too many affiliate programmes.
Thanks for offering a link to my site. I've set up an affiliate programme with Regsoft, and anyone who thinks they can sell a few for me will get 30%. For more details, check here:
http://www.pachinkoagogo.com/affiliates.htm
Let me know when you do, and I will link back to you.

This is riddiculous! After contacting support to fix a link on a promotional button on my site, they decided Pachinko a Go Go! is "adult" and deleted my account immediately and without warning!
Quote:
Unfortunately RegSoft.com cannot
provide services for any product in regards to adult-related material.
Since the product does contain simulated nudity we cannot allow for it's
sale through RegSoft.com.
Bullshit! It contains "simulated" undies!
I have submitted my game to about 200 download sites and paid several hundred dollars in advertising, some of the campaigns started today. I already had affiliates signed up in their affilate programme. The game passed their screening process when I signed up, so I can't understand their sudden termination now.
The key I am marketing on the internet only shows Atari-chan stripping to her undies, and she says mildly suggestive and double-meaning sentences -and she's just a toon. That would be about what you would expect to see in a beauty pagent (except with real women), and even in most of North America beauty pagents aren't banned from family viewing AFAIK. Any Americans here think Atari's undies should be R18? (I don't have to ask the Europeans  )
I mean, I was deliberately avoiding an adult label by toning it down. As it is, I could have had Andvari animate Atari-chan masterbating with her pachinko knob, and it wouldn't have made a difference (I might yet do this if every other credit processor deems it adult, I'd probably get more sales since an "adult" game that only shows toon undies probably wouldn't sell too well in the real adult market).
I didn't see anywhere in their contract that said anything about refusing software based on feminist policies, which is obviously what this is. Thanks to them I've lost credit card sales for at least the first day of my advertising campaign, as it will take time to sign up with a new vendor.
Regsoft are a bunch of old women with bleeding piles!
There, I feel better now.

Bah! that sucks that they refuse to sell your product on their site. It's nowhere near as bad as they make that kinda game sound. There's no way that it'd ever be rated anything like R18 etc.. But it's kinda cool that you got some controversy over the game.. "Any publicity is good publicity" heh, I hope once you find someplace that'll sell it you get the best sales possible. Good luck

Naw, don't change a thing. If they don't like it that's their loss. Have you taken a look at Plimus ? You might also want to consider running your own program that calculates payouts and sales for you. I think there is one called Solo thats supposed to be somewhat inexpensive. Some are actually CGI/Perl based. It costs a few bucks but you can also look at something like Interneka PM me when you find a winner.

Thanks for your support. I haven't had trouble finding other vendors, though it would have saved me time and money had I known Regsoft had personal value issues about cartoon characters cavorting in underwear.
I received an email from Bradley Moreland at Resoft today calling Pachinko a Go Go! pornographic:
Quote:
we cannot allow for any adult-related/pornographic
material to appear on a vendor's site or product. Please refer to the
dictionary term for pornographic below:
pornographic: any material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual
arousal.
Not to mention that the primary purpose of Pachinko a Go Go! is as a pachinko game simulation.
As far as I can tell from the ESRB web site, Pachinko a Go Go!, in the form I am marketing it on the internet, wouldn't rate more than a T, even though the ratings are more severe in North America.

for this, almost finshed, game. I would like comments on all aspects of the game and any bugs you may find. Every feature should be working. It's all there, and this version will be pretty much what goes out to the world. I'd like to know what you think of other aspects like the web design as well.
