An advisor of the dev-team, @Jeff Steel, is a RL lawyer. His opinion is having players voluntarily modding the relationships is the best long-term solution (plausible deniability) to comply with Patreon censorship.
All players can wish and hope effective tweaks can be found to improve the present situation.
Please don't give in. We can all jump off the last bridge when we come to it. We haven't reached it yet...

Darn this thread moves fast, feels like im necroing threads, even though its from today. Anyway, heres the message a creator got when it all started going down in october.

From patreon page:
"Here is the excerpt from the message sent to me from their staff regarding the new guidelines:

"To clarify, if there is an optional feature in which a character could engage in incestual or non-consensual activities, then the player would still have a chance to view and interact with content that is considered to be a violation of the guidelines.

If this feature were to be removed from your game so that there is no mention/depiction of incestual or non-consensual activities, then it would fall within our guidelines. This extends to all content on your creator page, direct links that lead to this type of content, and other platforms showcasing work funded through your Patreon. "

Now im interested how this works out, because I can definitely read this out as "you can not include any option to have characters related", but im hopeful it is easier to go around that, still hoping creators dont rely on simple name changers though.

thx for sharing! :)

crap, started v16 and the save didnt work (from v15) and i couldn't start from a v14 end save either.
at least i could input my numbers so i could start from v15 with "my" points.

so, i liked this update, good progress and theres a lot of plots going on that could create all kinds of situations.
at this moment i can't see any solution for F&D, right now i get the feeling of "forbidden" love (not incest) between two lovers that the "evil" witch don't like at all, because she need D to marry another dude, so she get power and influence and money.

Well i will give it a shot later, Let's hope they don't screw the next update too.
just remember to use for the best chance and if you want it here is my copy of chapter 1 which i think already has the save selector mod on it
if not here it is just apply it anyway to be safe

Is it just me or are the linux archives damaged?
I've downloaded from a few different hosters and had errors extracting them.

The lawyer I quoted, @Jeff Steel, thinks that to remove too many player options would be a non-viable business decision by Patreon. I am unclear as to all the ins-and-outs legally. But to take the time and effort to try to improve the "Lewd Patcher" idea [Jeff thinks this is too transparent] is an impressive feat by the DMD dev-team.
I have seen developers not take this route because they had the urgent impression this would not suffice, at least with Patreons huge variance of enforcements.
Also as we have seen with quite a few "regular" games being modded with a lot more than we are talking here, I do think the Lewd Patcher idea is by far the best option, as it would have the Patreon version of a game "clean" without any reason to complain. Then people can chose if they even want that content in game and patch it, with a patch (ideally) provided by the creator himself.

This is also backed by this message from a Patreon Guideline person:

I can see a creator having a "dual" presence online: a website that hosts content that's considered violative to Patreon's guidelines, and a Patreon account where they fund content of a different theme -- but there is no link or relation between the two. As long as there's no "Check out my Patreon page here" on the hosting website, then it wouldn't be a violation.
