AND THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME'S PRODUCTION.
- PLEASE READ!-
So, I see a lot of people are still in the dark about the problems I faced and the future of the game, so I hope this next lines will clear things up.
On March 5th, my Patreon page was under review because Patreon staff (probably) recieved reports about my game (The Manor) contained "fringe" sexual content (aka: Incest, Beastiality... duh).
After a few communications with them, they gave me only one option, which was to rework the entire game and cut out all content that breakes their Community Guidelines (there was a second hidden option: the termination of the page all together). And, of course, I wasn't really happy with that, I didn't want to censor this game after all the work I put in it. So after a few clarifications from them (mainly I wanted to know if they would close my page again if they find external work on my name that contains "fringe" content, which they won't) , I decided to pull the entire game out of the Patreon platform, so I could still work on the game without any kind of censorship... but, I won't get money for it. which is a sacrifice I had to make.
So, Now The Manor is no longer hosted on my Patreon page, and it has no link in any way and/or form with the platform. But I can work on it as a external work, and keep all the kinks we all love.
Sadly I still need moneys for... you know... living. So I will start to work on a new game aswell, which will be a "safer" project, only for Patreon, with the hope to get enough supporters to make a living and not die in the process. (just to be clear, I will NOT stop working on The Manor).
This means that my work will be splitted in two: The "legit" (everything that I will do for patreon in the form of safe "almost" vanilla projects) and the "clandestine" stuff (All the incests, beasties, shotas and legal lolis you may want, and probably a lot o other stuff... the sky is the limit now).
Overall, this decision was for the best, I'm positive that I can make a decent "vanilla" project to be able to get the necesary moneys for my livings... while making the other stuff under the table. Also, working on other stuff besides The Manor will actually help me a lot with the burn-outs and will keep my ideas fresh.
So, even if I appreciate the suggestions about making a "incest patch" for the manor so I can keep it on Patreon, it isn't an option now.... and I really don't want to do that.
TL;DR: The Manor Is NOT on patreon anymore, but it is NOT dead, I'm still working on it, though the updates will be a litte (more) erratic, because now it is officially a passion project (not making money out of it). But, the "good" news is that I will be also working on a second game... but a little more vanilla, to please the PC overlords and make a little dough.
