Introduction:
We are an indie game development company who focus on creation of the adult 18+ visual novel game called World of Sisters. Here you can find usefull Q/A answers about how we operate with game data in the game, on our website and on our discord server.
General information:
Your privacy is important to us and we want to ensure in clear interpretation. This privacy policy list of topics describes in detail the types of data which are collected and how we use it. We will provide links and insight about how game data is being processed and used below.
Website cookies:
We respect your website privacy and webnode services as a website provider tracks number of visitors and access bandwith, under the website provider (to keep web content secure and safe from possible attacks). We do not have use for cookies on the site and do not track, record or store personal information. (Eg. like some sites does for ads purposes) We are following the EU cookies based informing about them according to related laws. Our intention remains to keep the game free to play with as few disturbances as possible (So no ads on the website, no ads in the game, maximally what you will find are few links to patreon and social media in main menu).
Patreon access:
We have multiple tier variants with certain game rewards set for individual people who support us. For example: An early access, communication channels, assist with game issues / features and prioritized announcement of new game content and features. We plan to re-invest every dollar back into the game to make it better, provide support for more Languages, corrections, animations, stories and new extra content.
Game engine for the game - Unity 3D solutions
Our game runs on Unity3D engine which comes with some specifics related to this multi platform solution which define game player and app user privacy policy. These FAQs provide a handy entry point to our longer and more comprehensive https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy
Unity 3D Developper privacy policy:
They are intended to enhance rather than replace the important notices in the Privacy Policy, which governs collection, use, storage, and sharing of the information that we collect or receive. More information about unity privacy policy here: https://unity.com/legal/developer-privacy-policy
Game privacy policy:
Our game World Of Sisters does not process, store, alter, send, sell or work with user (player) personal information. We use only statistical information gathered through this website, individual file sharing websites like number of downloads (where each new game release is uploaded) and basic statistical information from unity analytics.
Game only processes gameplay information during when it is actively running (while game opened) Game do not write information to your drive anything outside of saving saves or saving game setting (like music volume or option variables or by Playerprefs - in Q1 2023 we switched to saving game data to .txt files on appdata (default individual desktop app location which contains only few kilobytes at max with a thumbnail preview of the save and the save text file, before above mentioned date the whole save data was saved as "settings" due to technical limitations through playing it was impractical making partial saves from gameplay each in same place, not intended to cause any hussle).
Game Data Transfers:
We take steps to ensure your data enjoys the same level of protection as outlined by both EU and US regulations. Adequate safeguards are in place to guarantee that gameplay information is secure regardless of its location. We do not send game data to a 3rd party outside of basic unity infrastructure tools like unity analytics. Eg. game session, or feedback form send from the game using ingame link to google forms and translation tool for our correctors and language translators. (We do not track e-mails in these feedback forms, and have no way to reach people back aside from situation where you voluntarily leave contact - eg. be notified when certain bug is fixed)
Game collects only basic and anonymized information through unity analytics. We don't give this data to 3rd party and use it for basic game overview like played sessions per day, average length of a session, or thrown exceptions. The data is used solely for improving game, monitoring and fixing errors, data that are not cleared in 6 months are manually disposed after 2 years within our unity-analytics account. We do not share account access with other users or other 3rd party companies. (Our focus is only on the game creation, but not using basic analytics like knowing how many people actually played our game would be like driving blind. It is used for retrospective to know what game releases were more popular, fixed in-game issues, etc.)
Game does not actively send extra information that wouldn't be desired by you as player of the game. There exists a way for players to manually sending us information in (Game options -> dev log -> copy err log) which is primary ways for us to identify and solve game errors and fix issues. This is why the main way to communicate with us is to send us error logs (manually by e-mail with copy pasting error log in there).
Statistical data retention and deletion:
Website and analytics data is often erased on each game update version as we don't see point of having the data (we often fix bugs quickly and make gameplay changes on a monthly base), we only want to have rough vision how many players downloaded the game, what was the average session in each game update and what we could do to improve by feedback sessions. We do not store or track any IP address accessing this or other websites.
We maintain a clear data retention policy that limits the storage of your information to the necessary duration for providing our services. When you delete game folder or appdata folder then there is no way to retrieve your gameplay data, (as they are not saved / send anywhere)
By playing the game you agree with basic statistical data of unity analytics to be processed for monthly based anonymous statistical views used only for above mentioned purpose.
Fair use:
Our intentions focus primarily on creation of the game, making new content and story in small team of 2 people, it is not our intention to spy or collect data on anyone and we use only use necessary information to track down gameplay issues, game errors, screenshots and information people send us by e-mail and feedback forms.
We are using public free fonts in the game and on the website based on Font API and privacy policy for service use.

Discord access:
Everyone is welcome to join our discord server: https://discord.gg/VmpTBXd4xc
Where we discuss ideas, where you can openly talk with game creators and submit ideas. We are doing regular voice calls where everyone have access. We also need to say we prioritize ideas from our patrons and supporters who keep game development running as it is very time consuming for a small team we currently have. Our intention is to expand our team with more graphical designers and a community manager. Keep in mind English is not our primary language, but we are trying our best to communicate with everyone who ask us questions (in every case we can use google translator).

Always use only official links to download our game which are posted on this website and discord server sections. Links on the discord forum we might provide links to content from external websites that are not under our operation. It's important to note that we lack control over the content and actions of these websites. As a result, we cannot assume responsibility or liability for their individual privacy policies. We have 2 discord moderators who keep track on the discord server rules and prevent spamming behavior like posting unwanted links there.

17) Asking others for a save = Rather use in game cheats to unlock everything or write GOODGAME into secret code to unlock gallery. Despite game is able to load other saves and upgrade them in between versions, some mean people kept posting badly edited saves from years old, which contained dead ends or even errors, but then people complained to us (We tracked origin of problems to reusing altered saves) - So we had to prevent bad experience - NO spamming sharing or asking for saves please, be fair. (Or use skip content or cheats to jump to any moment of the story, it will be simplier and safe - it's called "START TALK" in cheats where you choose any moment/conversation to start)
Thank you for taking time and reading these rules, we want to build a healthy community, discuss ideas, solve issues, add features & chat together transparently.
Frequently asked questions & answers:
#1 - When will be the next release?
It will be posted here: https://subscribestar.adult/worldofsisters
Or in this discord channel 🎮┃game or 📣┃announcements
If it is not posted then it is not set and even we don't know exact date.
#2 - When does a XY version release -> become public release?
Every new release shifts old releases into the cycle from (SUPER EARLY RELEASE -> EARLY RELEASE -> PUBLIC RELEASE)
We won't reply to individual messages asking us due to hundreds of people asking us monthly - we will use that time to actually work on the content.
#3 - What if you REALLY REALLY want to know exact date of release?
It will be released when it's done.
Working on game is streamlined process of cooperation of multiple people, testers, correctors, fix iterations and bug hunting which is hard to estimate every time someone asks
#4 - How often new game version is released?
In 2022 we did 16 releases. In 2023 we did 20 releases, in 2024 we did 10 releases so on average new version every 3-5 weeks
#5 - We decided to not provide exact dates of releases - Please respect our decision.
Our Discord moderators have orders to ban those who will demand it and spam. (1st comes a warning)
#6 - Delivery estimation and actual release cycle in development (ALPHA -> BETA -> RELEASE)
We know waiting for next update sucks, but releasing overly unfinished/untested stuff is even worse, that's why we need time to draw things, iterate texts, polish animations, test things 99 times so on 100th try there are no clear bugs - Basically make all the waiting worth it for a good piece of new content. (edited)
PS: doing 100 tests usually mean 10 new things added - could be conversation where characters don't stand like stones with neutral emotions, or writing texts is one thing but seeing them in the game and see how it feels usually needs few iterations + someone else from alpha testers to verify it's right. So the more features/texts/graphics that are added, these all needs to be tested, checked, and Visual Novels are basically consisting of a lot of a million small stuff that fits together.
#7 - You have asked us what was our inspiration for the game?
#7.1 - Japanese Visual Novels
Because I used to play them, mostly dating simulations and their hentai versions, it just lured me in and I wanted to create just that, but fit for the western EU/US audience.
#7. 2 - Not another teenage movie (first 30-40 minutes only)
Because immersion of being a horny teenager at school who has a sexy sister that hits on him works well as a hook to the story. Especially when we would swap the roles and make you try to date the sister, and to not make it too hard, why not have two, one that likes you and one that hates you, what a challenge it would be trying to date them both!
#7. 3 - American Pie movies 1
Because when I saw them first time they created this feeling to answer "what would happen if" and we thought if we create a game and let you as a Player decide what comes next it would be something new fun and tempting to do things that are not very probable to happen in reality.
#7. 4 - Scary movies 1-5
Because it brings crazy ideas to life, good or bad, it's a hell of a ride!
#7. 5 - Series: How I met your mother / Friends / The big bang theory
Because individual character storytelling create attachment for the characters and that lead to more funny/awkward/crazy/dramatic situations.
Why is there a demon queen - evil aphrodite in the game?
Because we wanted to create a backstory that adds a mystery to discover. Something that starts slowly, yet impact the game ending.
Big inspiration was Bill Cipher from gravity falls and because gameplay wise game can't make dating as hard to be realistic, while on the other hand having sex too easily doesn't feel right too, so we found a way to explain this - main character work with the devil of love herself on his shoulder and her magic slowly influence everyone to your advantage. We know currently there isn't much of her in the game, but there will be soon. Plus think who could be the most iconic boss for the endgame of a dating sex game - Evil Aphrodite herself!
