Charge up front activated
🕑 Added 2018-07-01 11:00:41 +0000 UTC As I notified you all earlier this week, to mitigate fraudulent activity, I'm switching to a pay up front setting starting today.This won't affect existing patrons.
New patrons will be charged as they pledge.
According to Patreon's guidelines:
If a current patron increases their pledge, the difference between the current pledge and new pledge will be charged up front.
If a current patron decrease their pledge, the difference between pledges will not be refunded.
This payment plan will help the game development as I see how several patrons are trying to get +$20 tier bonuses for free by pledging high, only to decrease their pledges in the end of the month and then increase the pledges again. This behavior hurts the game development more than piracy as I cannot plan an accurate budget for buying assets.
Thank you for understanding!

Indeed, it is a very good source for advertisement. But if none of the players (pirates) support the indie devs, they will likely not be able to afford to continue their projects; I know I wouldn't but you guys make it possible. Piracy of adult games is a double-edged sword.

Yeah, i dont think piracy really hurts adult games developers. Because, lets be frank, its free advertisement. If these games were not on pirate sites, then nobody would hear about them. (sadly Patreon "recommendations" dont work. Dunno why, but it always suggests crap. )

Same here. I would never have discovered this game, if not for a certain not quite legal site. Now I'm a patron and very glad that I am.

"This behavior hurts the game development more than piracy" i cannot do more agree. at least piracy make me know you and become a patreon to support you for all your work, i am not proud of it, but i am proud of being patreon of you hope your story will continue to be more interested.
