That's not my Neighbor
Last time I will explain why I can not give you a Steam key
Hi, I want to tell you and explain one last time why I can not give you a Steam key for the new version of the game.
Everything I am goin to explain you can read it by yourself here: Steam Key Rules and Guidelines
Steam limit the amount of keys that I can give for free, for this reason I can not give a key for all the people who bought the game here a while ago.
The discount on steam was made for you, I know that people who didn't buy the game here can buy it now with the discount and doesn't seem fair but there was no way to apply the disscount only to you so I preferred that new people get the game cheaper than you have to buy it more expensive.
Please understand this, I would give you a key if I could but Steam have rules.
And please keep this in mind the next time another game from here gets viral and later the developer doesn't give you a steam key.
Having said this, I remade all the game for the steam release so at leasts you don't feel like you are paying for the same thing twice.
This game release on February last year, in all that time you play and ejoy the game I made, you paid for that and you still have that game and always will be yours. I made a lot of extra content for it and didn't ask you to pay anything more than the price a set at the begining.
If you don't like to think that the Steam version is another game then see it as a dlc that you need to pay to get it.
I made the game as cheaper as it is, there are a lot of people that always tell me that I should raise the price but I don't want it, because I don't care about earning more money, all I want is share my game and earn what I think is fair for all the work I put on it, game development is hard, really HARD you have to deal with a lot of stuff, I don't think I am asking for too much in exchange.
I am really very grateful to everyone who supported me, and I still thinking in ways that I can compensate all of you but I can not give you this new game for free.
The main reason the game here was shot down is beacuse I am planning to add something that only the people who bought the game when was available can access it. I am still thinking what can I do, but I will do my best to figure it out.
Thank you and I hope you understand.

The steam price and the original price were insanely cheap, maybe id be a bit bummed out if the new version was like $20 but it’s not. Paying $3 for a complete reworking of the game with a fuck ton of new content is more than worth it
Lo minimo que esperaria es que siguieras subiendo actualizaciones a esta version, aun si la intención con la que hiciste una nueva version para Steam, fue para que no se sintiera como que comparabas lo mismo pero aún asi el juego no cambia demasiado y aun con las actualizaciones al poco tiempo se siente monotono asi que no veo como una opcion comprar tambien la version de steam.
i got the game like a year and a bit ago how long ago do you need to have bought the game to get a free steam ke
Lies.
Steam not only provides 5000 free keys of your game as the Default Release Steam Keys, no questions asked, they also provide free keys in case you're selling your game outside of steam. To quote the Steam Key Rules and Guidelines, "You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important however that you don't give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers".
The only reason you might not want to give people on itchio steam keys is that it would force you to lower the Steam price of the game to the same level it was on itch, since having it cheaper outside of Steam would violate their guidelines - and you clearly want to squeeze out as much money as possible, while lying to your customers and asking them to buy the same game twice.
you are wrong like you said it provides a certain amount of keys so lets say 7000 people bought the game, it wouldnt be fair for the 2000 that wont get a steam key, he is not lying you are just selfish not to pay 4$ on steam for a game that you did like so why bother creating rumours, yes steam has guideline but when u buy a game on Epic games or others they won't give you a key for steam so you can play on steam, its marketing either grow up and learn or stop squeaking
"Lies"
I'm so sick but too lazy to educate the kind of people like you again so ima just drop this pic instead.
Hello all.
I would like to download the this game via Steam’s page to play as live stream.
Does the game have any guidelines or rules?
May I just follow guidelines for the Valve which is based on the Steam?
Thank you.
None of the music should be copyrighted, you can play the whole game as it is without any issue.
it is quite a nice game that you made, and i honestly do not mind paying for it again on steam.
This is an indie game made by one guy, with original art, simple yet fun and re-playable gameplay, and it's not even $5. I would gladly buy this game again and again to support this indie dev.
This is something I did think of too. On one hand, having to buy it again is usually a terrible thing to have to do. Usually triple AAA compnay kind of business practice but that overshadows the actual reality here:
Itch.io + Steam, at full price, would be $5.98 total. The literal worst case scenario here. There are many worse games that charge exceptionally more even when on discount, never mind at full price from both indie and triple AAA. And this is from one dev and this dev isn't failing from lack of trying. Steam - limits keys, Itch.io - refunds must be made within 90 days of purchase (if you wanted to repurchase it on steam). He tried but got blocked on both ends so I can't blame him.
The only thing I'm not too happy about is the game now requiring steam to run, as opposed to running independently from any launcher.
A small nitpick that can be worked around but it was a feature of the original, intended or not <:D
Estou chateado pois comprei o jogo com a promessa que ele seria atualizado aqui na itch.io e me sinto triste pois o link que recebi no meu e-mail pra abaixar o jogo quando entra está a última atualização 28 de setembro de 2024 fico chateado que não teve atualização no link de download que recebi após em 2024 comprar aqui sou brasileiro e não foi barato O game quando comprei em dólar por causa das taxa e com isso fico chateado pois a promessa era sempre teria atualização no link enviado no e-mail que fiz a compra e não foi cumprido essa promessa estou chateado
So I Am A Developer But Im Not That Good But I Have A Question. Why Didn't You Just Update The Files On Itch. This Is Just Out Of Curosity.
Because I can not give the game on steam for free since on steam cost money, steam doesn't allow to put the game for lower price anywhere, and it is not an update is another game.
I get having to pay on steam, but now that it's there I can't even download it anymore since it's not available on Mac :((
honestly im jus sad it wont get updated here on itch anymore :<
hi bro have one question, someone make for me ( custom mode guys ) on the another computer, i want to record that on my computer and actually change the folder from me with HIS FOLDER WITH DOPPLEGANGERS etc. how to make it? it's problem when i only change the doc. and photos with doppels, which he make for me, not showing that in my verstion steam on my computer, have solution? Greetings!
Hi, make sure the folder is in the directory:
C:\Users\******\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\That's not my neighbor (Steam)
****** is your user name
And also make sure that the folder es named: Custom_Data
Also, if you want to keep yours make sure to make a backup before.
wait this is stupid why not update itch also??
Aparte de la versión de Steam, hay planes de hacer también ports para consolas en un futuro? Me gustaron mucho los cambios de la nueva versión y se ve como un proyecto que facilmente podría estar en una, existe alguna posibilidad?
Crazy that people genuinely expect a game that cost £2.50 to give out possibly thousands (if not more) keys to people. I have bought the game on Itchio and Steam, it's not much at all and frankly I'm just happy to know you're getting more money instead of losing.
It's more people want the game to still be updated on itch. I twas promised future updates would be given free for people who bought the game. Yet Nacho "remade" the game (When in reality it is basically the same game. I suspect he made it from the ground up but it is still the same game) and won't give original supporters the updated version of the game on itch.io. Where they originally purchased it and where they were told they'd receive future updates for free. I suspect people wouldn't be complaining as much if they were still receiving what they were essentially promised from their purchase of the game. I feel that's a perfectly reasonable expectation.
I honestly don't understand why people are complaining so much about this. I mean, yeah, steam key would be nice, but you genuinely didn't know the rules and you've apologized for the oversight. The game is a decent price, and it feels completely different than the game that's available here on itchi.io.
Not to mention we've had the game for a whole year with FREE updates once you bought the game. Thank you for all your hard work and I will continue to enjoy "That's Not My Neighbor" for a long time to come on Steam. 💖🤩🥰🙏🏾
❤️
But why isn't he just updating the new version on itch.io for people? That way everyone happy. People who have purchased the game would still be able to get the new version if the itch.io version was updated. I get not being able to give a steam key but there's no reason not being able to simply replace the itch.i files with the new ones of the game.....I feel its because the developer had to remake the entire thing and wants compensation for remaking it. Which i'd understand if the steam version was a huge step up from the original. However its kind of a watered down version. With the exception of the custom mode. So it just doesn't make a lick of sense why he wouldn't just make everyone happy by releasing it on ithc.io for people to download???
It's probably because Steam has an entirely different set of rules and format for games to be posted there. I'm no coding/game making expert, but I'm sure there were a lot of changes made to the games coding and design behind the scenes that we don't see. They had to make a lot of adjustments to the game for it. Honestly for all the time and effort that went into it, I think the current price of the game is a steal 🤷🏾
I would have held out purchasing the game here, but you reassured me you'd honour previous purchases.
I will note the price on Steam is very reasonable, but please be careful in the future with making promises that you don't know if you can keep.
Yes, I am sorry, this is actually true, but at that time I didn't know about the Steam rules about the Keys, I can give you a refund if you want. Or if you want I can give you a steam key because I promise you that before you bought the game here.
Tell me what do you prefer and I will do it!
Thank you very much for the offer. You wanting to make things right is more than enough for me, so please keep the money for yourself and the key too.
I genuinely do think the price is more than fair on Steam even if it is purchasing it a second time, and I'll be buying it again now.
...in my eyes you've kept your word to me, and that means a lot. Keep up the good work developing the games, and thank you for responding to me.
Thank you, I will be more careful next time before making promises, and if at some point you change your mind I can always give you a key or the refund if you want!
wait they actually explicitly stated that they would give a steam key? omg that makes them doing this so much worse 0-0
I genuinely believe Nacho Sama's original intentions were true, and they did want to honour previous purchases to those who asked about the possibility of a steam release. I asked over 4 months ago now and at that time they weren't even sure it would be on steam, but promised me a key if it were to be released on that platform. It came from an idealistic place, and they unfortunately didn't research how Steam handled keys and were unable to feasibly follow through with what they originally promised.
This doesn't mean they're a 'worse' person for it. More due diligence needed to be taken first before they created an expectation that couldn't be fulfilled.
I'm one of the people they promised a key too because they believed they would have a stock of keys to give out, I contacted them about it and they were happy to honour what they stated and in the end I chose to decline and purchase the game myself again anyway. They're under a lot of heat, for what to me is a honest mistake, and for the sake of an extra £2.49 (I believe I purchased it at a discounted price too). I'd prefer to give them a break.
People have the right to be upset about it. I just don't think the developer was being malicious... and I won't be holding it against them.
I get your point, but it's not a "mistake" it was an intentional decision. Plenty of games are available on steam and itch.io, they didn't accidentally switch it to steam exclusively. Also, the contradictory statements of "um actually it's a completely different game " and "I wish I could honor your previous purchase of the game I made a mistake UwU" really irks me. Its either a completely different game and they shouldn't have felt the need to offer a steam key(and shouldn't have removed the option to buy this one) or it's the same game and they should've just continued updating it here.
so I basically just wasted my money
?
So, when I release the game here, never was told that the game it was going to be on steam, the steam announcement was made late december 2024 and I put in the description of this game page that a new game of this was going to release on Steam so I recommended new people to don't buy this one and wait, I didn't remove the option to buy this one yet just in case someone still want to buy this before it cannot be available anymore but for that reason I put the warning.
Then when the game was about to release on steam lkike in a week I remove the option to buy this one.
The only people that can said that waste their money are the ones that buy this game in that time between december 2024 and march 2025, and I can told you that wasn't a lot of people, and even if that people did it I explained everything in a transparent way, if they didn't read then it wasn't my fault.
Nobody bought this game with the intention to get it on steam, if you are not in the time period I have mention (dec 24 to march 25) then you bought this game because you wanted, and you have been playing with that game for a long time.
And before you tell me that you bought this game with the intention to get it on steam in the time period I said, then tell me what is the email you use to bought it and I can check when you bought the game here and if it is true I will happily return your money.
The issue is. people bought the game here expecting free updates until the game no longer gets updating. Presumably the steam version will now get updates leaving anyone who purchased the game on itch.io in the dust with no new features while features will be added on steam. So it's less about people expecting it free on steam and more that they expect free updates on here when they know steam will get them. Even buckshot roulette still updated the itch.io version of the game AND the steam version.
It's a slap in the face for people who supported the game early on. You support the game to be told "ok no more update guys. You'll have to buy it a second time. My hands are tied!".
So I think it's perfectly understandable why people are upset about not getting steam version because they know that version will now be the only one getting updates and they no longer will get updates on itch.
Edit: I will say i do appreciate the discount. Even more so that you pointed out it was for mostly people who already had the game. I don't know if you sent emails out to the itch.io owners to tell them the game was released and is on offer. Regardless it is a nice gesture. I am just pointing out why people are upset. ,
how disappointing this was the first game i bought off itch and it throws us over for steam
The discount is amazing, thank god I noticed it on Saturday. Thank you Nacho Sama!!❤️❤️
Making the full release of the game be only on steam is absolutely ridiculous. Abandoning the fans that originally supported you is a terrible move. I will not be purchasing the version on steam, if I could refund what I bought here I would. There was no reason to not release the update on here as well. I'm genuinely so disappointed and will not be supporting your games in the future, The blatant willingness to fuck over fans is truly disheartening. It's not that much money, but it's the principle of the matter, I can no longer trust you to fulfill on set expectations.
My biggest gripe is that you never even told people to stop buying it here!
I did it and I even remove the option of purchase this game.
I am not abandoning anybody,I just make another game, the game on itch was finished a long time ago.
If I choose to name it as this one was becacuse I want it. If that is a good or bad decision is other thing, but is my game so I do what a want with it.
So your defense is that you're claiming they're entirely different games? When both the games are 90% the same with the exception of the custom game mode? That's....a bit of a stretch don't you think. You clearly don't want to release the steam version on itch.io because you want people to re-purchase the game and recoup the efforts you put into "remaking" the game. I don't know man. Just sounds like you're being greedy. Like...you have to release from the customer perspective why this seems like a scummy move.
It's not a different game though, it has the same art and premise, just a few things removed and a new update. IF you truly view it as a different finished game than why would you remove the option to purchase this one?
The audacity to call yourself a fan while you're here swearing because nachosama didn't give the option you wanted. How can you even call yourself a fan when you're putting such a rude comment? You're literally a fake fan who just decide to insult the dev once you didn't get what you wanted, ain't no way real fans will do the same thing as you did. You can't even understand the difference between update and remake even when you think the remake didn't came out as much as you expected. Shame on you and congrats for making a comment that discouraging the dev to continue TNMN, the real fans gonna be so pissed and disappointed with you people 👏😀
an adult uses one(1) swear word, 20 dead 40 injured.
Also are they actually referring to it as a remake? Isn't it just the version from itchio with new features added/some removed? It doesn't look like they redrew anything, unless they rewrote the code? And what do you mean "discouraging the dev to continue TNMN" is the version on steam not finished?
"an adult uses one(1) swear word, 20 dead 40 injured" Dawg, you've got to be kidding me 💀💀💀
Okay so first of all, lemme tell you something clear so you can at least understand the real situation. Nacho already stated multiple times that the Itch.io version is already finished, the remake on Steam is another version. Both version are built on different frameworks. Despite some of the art assets may look the same, the mechanics and coding were entirely redone from scratch to fit Steam's requirement. The whole remake is build for Steam version, it's not really like he can simply drag and drop the same files and BOOM- "TNMN remake is finished within just a few hours, now i can put it on Steam, yay!!!".
Second of all, i've said this multiple times in the comment that devs also need to protect their games from piracy because Nacho stated that his game has been stolen by some people multiple times and they made a profit off of it. It's also one of most valid reason if he doesn't want to update the Itch.io version anymore and move the game to Steam because Steam has stronger protection than Itch.io and it makes it harder for casual players who want to get a free copy of it.
Third of all, when i said "discouraging the dev to continue TNMN", it means that TNMN will literally have no continuation since people backlashed him that much. If people here were a bit nicer and give some actual constructive criticisms to make the game better, i believe he will be motivated to improve the game and learn from his mistakes, not blatantly disrespecting him to the point he doesn't want to do his other future works as well.
Conclusion is, people didn't give him a break because of his mistakes, and he discouraged to continue TNMN and his other future works because of all of the disrespect toward him. I'm really grateful if he still decide to come back and continue to improve the game, but if he never comes back, then i will NEVER forgive those who already insulted him and his game that much.
My dude I really don't care, you can't justify this to me. You can't say they did nothing wrong and say they made a mistake. And this wasn't a silly mistake either, it was an intention decision. If they loose support because of their decisions that's on them. I simply said I was disappointed in their actions and wouldn't support them in the future,there was no name calling or anything like that so I don't see why you think I'm being unfair. If a dev looses the support of their fans, that's not on anyone but them.
You don't care, huh? Okay, but your comment is one of them that actually bothered me. If you don't want to buy the remake and don't want to support him anymore because you got disappointed, i don't care as well, but saying "the blatant willingness to f*ck over "fans" is truly "disheartening"" is like you treated his mistakes like a "betrayal" while he literally apologized for many times. No actual real TNMN fans will count you as a fan if you stated such a bad opinion. I think you don't fully understand the whole situation either so i just assume that you got so disappointed to the point you need to bring the word "fans" as well just to justify your own disappointment! 🧍♀️
