Congratulations on missing the point and instead ripping at the examples.

The original comment was for ADULT CREATORS and not for game developers only.
It is irrelevant whether it is a VN game, a game mod, a video/render/image/sound, ...

The "fine line" is "paid content now and as public content later".
Or on various pirate sites.

It's very relevant. You probably know that Sims 4 with all the expansions is about 1k USD. Both mods you mentioned require original, un-cracked game. That means people playing those mods have material means to contribute to Parteon if they want to. It's not like they live in eastern Europe where the AAA game price (~ 50 USD) means 25% from average monthly income.

It's also relevant because we are talking about mods for a game produced by a multi-million dollars company. As long the mods are beneficial for that company, Parteon will be happy to provide "support" (as in letting them earn money without interfering) for mod creators.

On the other side we have an obscure dev who's building a game from scratch. No backup, no connections. Just the coding knowledge and passion. No one will defend him if he gets bashed or abused by Parteon (especially if he's from eastern Europe). Will just have to endure and hope for the best.

So yeah, it matters a lot imo what kind of game / mod / art / whatever is put on Parteon.


Don't need to be so offensive about that btw.

The obvious answer to my question is yes.

No point in even trying to explain common logic to you, it is a fruitless endeavor.

Friends!!! Thank you for your patience and understanding! The page on Patreon is unlocked, but there are a number of issues that we will try to resolve in the near future. Just in case anyone has a problem with the archive. Друзья!!! Спасибо за ваше терпение и понимание! Страница на Патреон разблокирована, но есть ряд проблем, которые мы постараемся решить в ближайшее время. На всякий случай у кого возникла проблема с архивом.

Thank you for staying with us in our time of need and trying to support us. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get some kind of livelihood in our situation right now. War is very bad. It's horrible! Спасибо, что остаетесь с нами в трудную минуту и стараетесь поддержать нас. К сожалению, это единственный способ получить хоть какие-то средства к существованию в нашей ситуации сейчас. Война - это очень плохо. Это ужасно!

Write us which services, in your opinion, are more convenient than patreon. We will try to consider using them in parallel. Напишите нам, какие сервисы, на ваш взгляд, более удобны, чем patreon. Мы постараемся рассмотреть возможность их параллельного использования.

From my short search around, Patreon seems to be the biggest, most popular and steadiest. Less successful, unknown or just as restrictive would be SubscribeStar, BuyMeACoffee, and pixiv.net/fanbox.
There's also Discord where you can create a private community for discussions and sharing content or having your own private site/blog set up.

For adult content creators, all avenues are at risk of shutting down at some point. It depends on their own perseverance and cunning to bypass the restrictions and keep their work alive in any way they see fit.

subscribestaradult seems to be the alternate of choice for adult content creators leaving patreon, the only downside being subscribestar dosent use third party payment processors like paypal, which in the end is a good thing as patreon is forced to crackdown on adult content becasue of pressure from paypal which does not allow for adult content

New publication on Patreon today. Join our patrons and get these updates now.

About it v0.93.5_15.04

- Continued to work on improving the translation of the game. A huge thanks to our friend Salvelinus.
- Various fixes and improvements to the gameplay.
- Improved some of the mechanics on the set. In the dressing room, on the movie set, makeup artists, as well, now watch the nails MC.
- The housekeeper, who can be hired by the MC, in addition to ironing things, has now started doing laundry when laundry detergent is available. There was an error in the game mechanics of the housekeeper, which has already been corrected.
- Did a lot of work with the saved MC clothing options. Now, before they are used, their condition and MC size are monitored.
- Expanded the ability for the MC to repair clothes and fit them to her size if she has the appropriate skills.
- MC now warned her partners of an unfavorable period for lovemaking. In this case there is minimal damage to the friendship and NPCs can think of other ways to have fun.
- Made new in-game interaction mechanics for couples. Now MC+ male NPCs and female NPCs + male NPCs can have fun at the same time. So far, this hasn't been implemented in the game itself. But we've prepared two new tests for you to evaluate the work done and have a lot of fun.
- As a reminder, the tests are located here.

Thank you very much for YOUR help and support !!!

The answer to both questions is maybe.
But not anytime soon in more than a token "see I did something!" proof of concept.

There are other matters that need to be added/changed first.
For instance, before a somewhat believable pregnancy system is implemented, sex and relationships need to be fleshed out.

Would be really great if you could post a changelog or even just a small footnotes of the noteable changes with an update. I don't really want to download and unzip a 2.8gig file to be able to click the button which tells me if this has anything new of interest or not.
