Weekly Update July 28th 2025
🕑 Added 2025-07-29 00:17:44 +0000 UTCWell I take my week off and it’s bad news all over the place. If you follow me you almost certainly have heard about the Mastercard/Visa/Paypal situation and it’s effect on steam and ich. Thankfully for me as of writing this I am uneffected, but that could change over the coming weeks depending on what sites they target next.
What does this mean for Seez content?
Short Term:
As of writing this, nothing changes. My plan is to finish CH9 of Aki and then make the tech demo of Luna. Since Aki doesn’t really have spicy themes I don’t think I will need to make changes to it should Patreon or SubStar get targeted next.
I will be opening a Boosty and Pixiv page soon. This will give back up options to support me should I lose my patreon page.
Long Term:
Because things are changing so suddenly and quickly all of this may not be relevant, but this is what I'm thinking given the situation.
I am planning on dipping my toes into a couple spicier tags. These tags are content that is currently not allowed on patreon. My plan was always to have a Patreon version that fully abides by their rules and a SubStar version with the extra content. Depending on what sites get hit next, I may only do the one “safe” version.
The real problem is if Patreon’s Guidelines get even more strict I may have to just end Aki early and remove it from the platform. This is not what I want at all, but it would be out of my hands at that point. I would still finish the main story but the epilogue content may just not happen. Because THR: Aki was my project to learn RPGmaker, it is terribly coded/organized. So going back and changing old content to fit the new guidelines is far too much work for it to be worth it.
The take away:
Now it is more important than ever to follow me on the other platforms. I don’t tweet much but twitter and discord are going to be the backup ways of finding me should my page suddenly disappear.
Hit me up on discord if you have specific questions.
Aki CH9 News:
Everything is going well, I should have CH9 out in the next 2-3 weeks depending on.. all of this. I’ll have teasers to show soon. I’m not going to add any pictures to this post so that I can post it publicly on patreon.

You can also call these payment processors and make your voice heard, which is the same strategy Collective Shout used with around 1000 phone calls. Do keep in mind though that the customer service representatives are also likely displeased with the situation.
