With the added benefit (?) of letting everyone on your friends list know that you're watching girls based on flowers fuck. And stab bugs. (Though thankfully, not fuck bugs.)

No, that would be pointless. It would have to be something more standalone. A downloadable, dedicated game, which Steam would then launch. But... Who's gonna MAKE that? With what time and money? We can barely even get them to implement changes that the original DMM version has already, and its been pretty clear that DMM won't even create new assets (new girls etc) solely for us. So how the heck could we convince DMM to greenlight an entire new version of the game?

Okay, let's assume someone flew over to DMM headquarters, got them all drunk, signed all the necessary paperwork, and fled before they sic'd the Trump Pest on him. And magically created the new version, while we're dreaming. Yippee, we have two English versions of Flower Knight Girl. Now what? What do we gain? What does anyone gain? Because I'll tell you, I don't see any gains.

I do see losses, however. Losses associated with creating a functionally-identical product for the same marketbase. Nutaku would never do that, it's horrible business. The only way would be if a new company got licensed to operate on Steam... and Nutaku would NOT like that one bit, as that's directly cutting into their market share and profits.

So, really, the Steam version would have to be:
* Hosted by Nutaku
* Requiring no new investment or development
* Identical to the current Nutaku version

In that case, rejoice! Your wish has already been granted! It's a little hidden, though, so I can't blame you for not finding out how to play the "Steam version" of Flower Knight Girl. Just add Firefox (or Chrome, or etc) as a "Non-Steam Game" in your Steam library. You can probably tweak things so that the game name shows up as "Flower Knight Girl", too. Bam, done.

The advantages of Steam are:

- potential for trading cards (means a lot for some folks)
- achievements (means a lot for some other folks)
- potentially a much much larger player base, meaning more income for DMM/Nutaku through more Gacha sales. Steam player base if huuuuge and there are lots of soft nudity games on there. The would have to cut out the H scenes for the Steam version, but still plenty of players who would drop some money on a starter pack and occasional bonus/deal.
