Did you read what he said? Just asks to delay the release here. Nothing unreasonable.I think the author understands that not everyone has big incomes! Because of finances, you have to choose two authors instead of ten! (I just don't have the means to support them all)
just do the math... patreon + his Deviantart page + whatnot... i dont think he's going to starve soon. i think the ppl. on this page are in sum the biggest pool of potential patreon/substar/etc. sub's for independent erotic content creators. having content leaked/shared happens from time to time... but some creators just dont think of it as advertisement. i found most projects that i currently support here.I think the author understands that not everyone has big incomes!

From what I have noticed, if you do a Patreon release and than make that same thing into a public release 2-4 weeks later most of the time no one bothers to upload your Patreon version early here and respect your process. This was you can solve your own problem and at the same time generate some publicity/goodwill.Creator of the game here.
I also understand that my game being posted here is some free advertising for me, so there's that. But I would kindly ask, if possible, that when I post an update for my game, to you would at least wait a little bit before posting it here (Even just one or two weeks would be appreciated).
What bothers me isn't that my game finds its way here (If anything, I'm flattered that it gets the attention), but I have to be honest, it's a little hearthbreaking for me that an update i've worked so hard to put together gets posted here just hours after I've shared the link to my supporters.
They won't. Anybody with the money and love for the game and the creator support because they want them to continue making it. I get my downloads from here but I still sub to multiple devs because I want to support them. It's not like this is the only place things get leaked anyway.The problem is that he posted this update only recently. His supporters probably waited awhile for this content.
Some of them may decide to stop supporting if it keeps coming here every update.
Of course, the creator may get a few supporters from this site.
You're asuming that anyone who downloads the game automatically enjoys the game and it's narrow fetish content or that people would be willing to pay just to sample it. Some are just want to see if there's anything actually to enjoy and perhaps support you as a developer or like me just curious to see if the game content and updates are getting anywhere.Creator of the game here.
I understand that any paid content is going to find its way delivered for free on a website like this one. No point fighting it, So i'm not going to try. And I do understand the desire to get stuff for free.
I'm glad that some of you get to enjoy the stuff I make, but remember that content creators like me rely of the financial support of others to even make this type of content. And having weeks or months worth of work distributed here for free just hours after its made available is a little bit upsetting.
That's it, only created this account to say this. You won't read anything else from me after this one.
I wish you all a good day.

There is a free demo available to all along with trailers showing you exactly the fetishes involved. So the argument that my stuff should be made free so people can try it out is a bit mute.You're asuming that anyone who downloads the game automatically enjoys the game and it's narrow fetish content or that people would be willing to pay just to sample it.

F95Zone must be one of your biggest free advertisers which you pay absolutely nothing for. I would not have heard of the game if it wasn't for game sites like this, and where do you actually get any real advertisment otherwise..?
But since you asked so nicely, I just looked at the pictures this time without even bothering to launch the game. The unique setting and story has could have huge potential but the slow progress and narrow niche focus on a few fetishes without real sexual content makes it in my personal opinion not really worth while.
I'm suprised you financially rely on it considering the narrow niche and limited output. Doesn't seem like a full time job time and more like a hobby side project.. With that said no hard pun intended, you've spent time and put effort into creating something unique, so I hope you get all the financial support from those who actually enjoy your unique creations and are willing to support.
It is not my intent to put DRM or stop the leaking (Impossible task anyways). As I said, I accept the fact that content will get leaked. Only ask for leakers to at least wait a little a bit before doing so, even if I know they probably won't care.All I can say is unless you want to flip off everyone and put DRM in game there's no way to stop leaking
>I put hundreds of hours every month into this
Everyone took hundreds of hours to be productive but not everyone can make a living out of it
I'm sorry if it sounds depressing but it's reality
If I can I want to make a living out of commissions too. but I need to find other job and make fanbox as a hobby instead of a job

I understand that any paid content is going to find its way delivered for free on a website like this one. No point fighting it, So i'm not going to try. And I do understand the desire to get stuff for free.
That said, if you enjoy content like this, remember that the support creators like me get, is what makes the creation of such content possible. Hurt their income and you inevitably hurt the game you are enjoying.
Frankly, there ain't much I can do here (Not without unreasonable expenses anyways). So I'm not going to bother.
I also understand that my game being posted here is some free advertising for me, so there's that. But I would kindly ask, if possible, that when I post an update for my game, to you would at least wait a little bit before posting it here (Even just one or two weeks would be appreciated).

This is not a request or a demand, I'm simply asking as a content creator who cares about his supporters, if you could at the very least, wait a little bit before posting the latest update to my game?
I'm sure what I'm asking here is probably a waste of time, but for the sake of my supporters, and the game you may or may not enjoy, to consider it.

Didn't expect you to show up here. I agree with you and am ready to wait a few weeks before downloading your content from here. I can't support you because of the financial side, although I have a desire. Thank you for making such content.There is a free demo available to all along with trailers showing you exactly the fetishes involved. So the argument that my stuff should be made free so people can try it out is a bit mute.
I've also already acknowledged the free advertising provided from the site. I was aware of my game posted here since this original post was made. Had no issues with it. My issue with it now, is that the VERY moment I post an update on the game, it gets posted here a few hours later.
If that happens everytime I update, yes that sucks a bit for my patreons to be honest. So I'm only asking to at the very least wait a little bit before the newest update is posted here.
That's it. I'm not asking for the links to my content here to be deleted, nor am I trying to shame anyone who consumes my stuff here (Or posts it for that matter). I'm only asking for my content to not be instantly devalued just hours after its released.
As I said, I'm not demanding. I'm only asking. Anyone here can decide to understand where I'm coming from or to ignore me and post my stuff right away.
And no, this isn't a side project. My patreon content is my full time job. If it wasn't I couldn't afford to do it. I don't think you realise the amount of work I put in to this, but I don't expect you to. Sorry for daring to make a living out of this.
I find it very unfair that people still think that because something is niche, or not a "real job" that It should just be free, regardless of the hours put into it (I put hundreds of hours every month into this, I can't possibly do this for free, I got to pay the bills)
I perfectly understand why many prefer to get content like mine for free. Not a problem, not everyone can afford it. But I just can't wrap my head around people who look at my work and just think that this is just a side thing and that I can't possibly be asking money for this.
That really hurts, as I put a lot working hours and pride into what I do. But to each their own. (Edit: Sorry, I know you didn't mean any arm in your comment, but it did sting a bit considering all the working hours I put into this. Have a good one.)
