What I've seen some successful content creators do is give their patrons some input into the game, like with polls for the next character or which area of the game gets developed next or what new features get added or a say in what extra content gets made. Game versions and extra content and passwords and cheat codes can all be leaked, but influence can't. There are also people who offer custom scenes to higher level patrons, but they seem to get overwhelmed by that when they get more attention. Lots of people include their patrons in the credits with a thank you message and access to private parts of their discord server where the devs and fans can interact more casually. A&H do most of this already, so I think they're on top of it.

(By the way, what's the most private way I can support someone on Patreon? I haven't supported anyone up until now, but I might be in a position to soon and want to know if there are ways that don't leave a trail that could be found by incredibly nosy and determined family members)

Here's what i do:

- get a separate debit/credit card for this kind of stuff only
- feed cash to it manually, not via online transfers, so that the nosy family member wouldnt notice funds being diverted to a shady account
- use a fake name etc. on patreon (who doesnt)
- happily waste all your income on pr0n games development --> profit ;)

Awesome, but banks like to have a physical address on file where they send things, and not all of them will take a PO Box instead. If I want to go full "I live with a paranoid ex intelligence agency spook" level of unhealthy paranoia, would it work to pay cash for visa gift cards, which I use to add funds to an online only bank or paypal, which I then use to support people on Patreon?

Thanks for your help, sorry for the admittedly weird level of paranoia.

Have you tried using a gift card to give money to a paypall account, or something like that?

A quick google search says it can be done, but Paypal has a reputation for being a little twitchy with suspending or locking peoples' accounts. I'll probably end up using them anyway, though.

Good luck! I hope you find something that works for you.

There is no trade mark, or copy right, so is it really piracy.
Click to expand...
Yes, it is. In every country which signed the Berne Convention - which is every country existing except for five or so each in Asia and Africa, but including even outliers as e. g. North Korea - copyright is automatically granted with the creation of an eligible work. You don't have to file for anything nor state anything on the work itself. If you create something and put it on the webs to see for everybody, unless you give explicit permission to do so, copying still amounts to piracy. (Not including "private use" laws, which make it a little more complicated, but that's the gist of it). Trademarks are something else entirely, they do not refer to the work as a whole but to its name/logo/general layout and have nothing to do with copying the work itself but with using name/loge/whatever for other purposes (usually within the same economic area).

But the main essence is: all these "(C)" and "TM" you see in many places have little to do with your right to do something with it (you don't have it in general, "fair use" or similar in different countries notwithstanding) but with the issue of proof and with the issue of legal costs arising if something goes before court.

What's the matter? I have clicked 'Review Rules' in office's computer, and this error appears in the game. How can I solve this?

still depends, if they are simply leaking the original download link, then nothing has been pirated. If they are re-uploading the material that would be different.

True, but what it doesn't depend on is whether there is a "Copyright" notice or similar in the game, as the post I was replying to seemed to imply.

This may be a save you wanted - all quests done, Rachel and Debbie are on maximum obey - but you can raise the points for grades, disciple and popularity if you go on playing. ;)

But its more fun to play through release 6.2 from the start ( day 2) to explore all events and not to miss any graphics in this wonderfull game.
If you want to extract the graphics (image file to found at your folder .../The Headmaster/game/ images.rpa) you can use
