Credits Update - Month 14 - July
🕑 Added 2024-08-01 13:31:21 +0000 UTCHello again! It's the first of the month, and that means it's credits update time!
For anyone who's new or doesn't know what these are:
Every month, I update the credits in the game to include Patreon supporters who paid $20 during any month of production. People who pay for more than one month will be credited as such [ the number of months is under everyone's name ]
If you paid $20 or more during any month of production, your name should appear on this long screenshot of the game's credits! You can also message me or comment on this post to have your name changed in the credits to whatever you want- you paid so it's up to you!
I have to do all of this by hand and brain so there could be mistakes! [ Patreon buggered up their search function for members and it can miss people as well ] Please check on the credits if you've ever paid $20 or more and make sure I have you on there properly.
Thank you so much everyone for your support! Not just the people on this list but everyone. It's been a bit of a tough week and my anxiety about censorship is very high. Looking through these credits reminds me that there are people who believe in the freedom to make dark content, and that hopefully I will be able to maintain a creative home no matter what happens.

P.S: Perhaps let us know (via your other website?) if you ever need us to send (polite) correspondence to any platform that may be suspecting your content. π€ I would say that IF I were in your shoes, I would come up with Plan B's just in the worst scenario your Patreon was temporarily suspended for an unknown period of time. Try having emergency savings already set aside for sure, but also maybe a "regular" member-payment/sign up system via other channels: "These Are The 17 Best Alternatives to Patreon (2024)" - Mightynetworks.com https://www.mightynetworks.com/resources/patreon-alternatives#:~:text=Onlyfans%20is%20an%20alternative%20to,creator%20with%20a%20subscription%20model I like this article cause it cleanly tells you the pros/cons behind every alternative subscription service website, IMO. BUT, only take my idea as it resonates to your unique personal situation though! π

"It's been a bit of a tough week and my anxiety about censorship is very high." Sorry to hear that's been a concern for you, Gato. π₯Ί You can only hope people will be able to regulate themselves after doing what you can to put up content warnings, instead of them projecting their emotions/wounds outwardly onto the wrong target (ie. you). Humans are funny critters, man. π€· I seriously admire you for taking your hard-earned gift for drawing & telling stories, and choosing to bravely share them with us even when knowing such content won't be palatable to everybody. While I've written my share of original NSFW/"Dead Dove" dark content, I honestly never posted it publicly anywhere so I give you serious props for being so vulnerable and unapologetically yourself even when it's hard on some days. π« Just know the content and themes you touch upon have been around for millennia. Even if one platform/institution tries to pretend such facets (or "shadows") of the human experience doesn't exist, doesn't mean others will and they'll create their own channels for exploring, transmuting, or healing elsewhere. Hell, even in more heavily censored countries like China, people always find covert ways in the age of the Internet~ πβ¨ Let yourself feel however you want to feel, but just know you're not alone and countless people support you or understand the need to explore such themes (even when it's not content they enjoy/prefer themselves). Such fair and open-minded people still exist out there--in both the real world AND online, thankfully--despite some loud, dogmatic types you may find online. πͺ
