html website that incorporates a monthly paypal gateway
That’s the exact problem. PayPal is the one forcing Patreon to crack down on games like this.
The payment processor is the biggest issue in setting up a standalone website. They don’t want to provide their services to people creating incest/rape/beastiality games.

It's a shame if BB is coming to an end but DarkSilver was never really into it.

Let's all remember we want talented artists and developers to find it worth their while to do this kind of work. Maybe for now DarkSilver switches to something else but who knows what the future will bring.

I've supported BB in the past but stopped because I found the plot overall depressing. It's times like this when things are changing that artists need your support and need you to give them a month or two to find their way. Maybe in a couple of months some will disappear completely but maybe it's worth a few dollars of support to see who makes it through.

Yeah but once you start the development of Glamour we all know that BB will be forgotten... I seriously have pretty much a year invested in "this game, and you" and don't really care about "Glamour" as I am knee deep in BB. (except, I think I dropped you when "douchebag" took Kira then came back to the fold when I was able to kill that prick! (v0.4 or v0.5 I think?))

Yes Glamour may turn out to be a spectacular game but atm BB is probably "THE" measuring stick by which ALL other adult games are being judged! And doing a, "it was all just a dream" ending or getting an "Abandoned" tag won't do your brand any good!!!

You may look down on this Pirate forum with disdain but you have no clue just how many of us actually do send you money every month despite being able to get it for free here. For a lot of us, we support your game at the level we can afford to, but want it as soon as it is released at the first opportunity, and don't pull our patronage when we have it...

All said and done though, I'll say it yet again... You guys code for a living and yet you can't figure out how to do a html website that incorporates a monthly paypal gateway??? Why not? Marketing is the key to everything, you built the product, you built the brand, people will go to the ends of the earth to find it, yet you cannot figure out a delivery system and rely on a broken website (Patreon).

Honestly, cash their cheques and tell them to pick it up on F95!
Problem with that is that Paypal does not allow these things either so you will get the same problem.

Only real way is another payment method on a website.(best choice at this point)
Or create something like Patreon(Should be easy if the bigger devs put all their teams together for a couple weeks, only reason why they don't do that is because it takes money to do that).

Isn't that the case already? I found BB on F95 (or something similar) I only go to Patreon to kick something back to the Dev. Patreon's interface and comment code is ass.

A game having a female MC shouldn't turn people away from the experience, especially if it's written well. We have literally 50+ games here where you play as the male character, and half of them, if not more, are stupidly written, Big Brother included, no offense.
A female protagonist in a movie or regular video game isn't going to turn me away. But for an adult game, I need to be able to imagine myself in the main character's role. I'm not a voyeur. My enjoyment of adult entertainment comes not from observing, but rather from being able to pretend I'm the one getting all of the sex. The same render of a man and a woman having sex makes a world of difference to me depending on which one is the character I am playing as. I have played adult games with female MCs in the past because there were more limited offerings then, and it just wasn't anywhere near as enjoyable as a male MC. But that's me. Other people may not project themselves into the main character as much as I do.

And that's completely understandable. I'm sure others are the same way. But I like to think about the story more than the sex in these scenarios. And when it is about the sex, whether it be lesbian porn or not, I can always project my image in the male having sex with the MC rather than the MC, you see what I mean? I do get it though.

I'm the same as that. The problem with being a female MC is that I imagine myself as the MC and no fucken way do I want a man fucking me.

Well im out for sure female MC is a huge turn off...as im sure it will be for many others

Might sound complicated but why not just keep a dummy page on patreon for financing BB and keep the distribution via email to the patreons couldnt be hard with autoresponce

@DarkSilver Sad to hear that you decided to put BB on hold. I don't know how difficult it would be to patch/rewrite or other to make the game in line of ToS and still keep the game as is through it. I will stop my support until you decide to go back to BB if you do that at all. Female mc is not what I look for in a game. But best of luck.

Having a female MC will turn people away for sure, now, should it turn people away? Well, yes, nothing wrong if playing a female MC is your thing, but I know it certainly isn't mine, and you can't tell people what to like or what to play, specially on a porn game where certain things will turn some people off. I won't even try the game.

I'm not telling people anything, don't get the wrong impression. I'm just expressing my point. I prefer to play as the male MC, but I have no problem playing as the female MC. A simple change in gender isn't gonna steer me away from what might be a good game. All I'm saying is, "Don't knock it til you try it." You might actually enjoy it.

Screen from Glamour looks amazing. It really might be something great tho I'm probably too optimistic. My only issue would be that female in corruption game (all adult games with female protags are corruption) should be as innocent as it's possible so virgins are essential for me. That's the only reason I can't feel Good Girl Gone Bad. But overall I'm pretty content as it's definitely something with bigger potential than late BB. I hope there will be a lot of non-erotic content as well cuz BB rather quickly was all about porn and everything was about sex

For games with a female protagonist I either think of them as someone I'm going to meet or try to get into their mindset. Perspective shifting can be interesting all on its own.
