@Everyone
So, I had communication with a member of Patreon staff... Abel (nice guy). He informed me that they put my page "under review" because of the game's contents... you know, THAT "contents". So, in order for my page to go live again I would need to:
1- Change the contents of the game for it to be "legit"...or...
2- Remove it entirely from the site.
This is no surprise, it was bound to happen. So, in order for me to keep the game alive, I face with a little problem:
Re-working the game to make it safe and hosting it on patreon again, will take a lot of work. I mean, I don't mind doing it, (even if some hacker makes a patch in the future to make it unsafe. PepoThink )
Eitherway, this option means that I CAN'T add new content until I reworked the entire game.
If I decide to make the game as it is and don't host it on patreon (making it like a "hobby"), making it ABSOLUTLY free, I will certainly lose most of my income, because, let's face it, most people would stop pledging... and I will not be able to pay for my hookers anymore.
And of course, making it a "hobby" will mean that I won't be working on it as much as a Patreon project.
So, the only viable option I have is the next
I decided to (for the moment) remove the game from patreon. This way I can get my page live again, while I work on the re-work. But at the same time I'll need to work on the next project, which will be "safer" (but you know, hackers may hack PepoThink ) This, however, was something I was planning, to also help me with my current "burn out".
I was talking with a few other developers, asking for advice to help me get over this burnout, and the predominant argument was that working for too long on only one thing, tends to "deplete motivation", which actually makes sense. So, before all of this happen, I was thinking of starting the new project and working on the two things simultaneously... and now, well, I'm kinda forced to do it.
So, TL;DR, Once the page goes live again, I will remove The Manor from patreon, while I work on a safe version for it. In the meanwhile, I will start the new project, which, thankfully is something I wanted to do, as a way to keep the page alive and maybe get some new patreons. Because some of you will certainly abandon me (But I'll understand).
So yeah, this will be actually hard for my wallet, but I don't want to simply stop working on The Manor... This is my baby, and I will see it through to the end.
