Hi guys.

Today is a very sad day for us.

With much despair, I have to regretfully inform you all that DMD will no longer be available on Patreon.

Earlier this week, I received an email from Patreon’s staff, informing me that I would not be allowed to continue with the development of DMD on this platform anymore. They gave me the chance to continue this game on a different site, as long as it’s not related to Patreon in any way.

Initially, their team had planned to have my page completely removed from Patreon unless that I appealed their decision and gave a reason why I shouldn’t be banned and no longer able to create games on here. After three days, I finally received a response, where they were happy to keep my page open, but it has been at a huge cost - me agreeing to remove anything related to DMD from my page.

They have given me until Monday January 29th to remove everything that relates to the game. Otherwise, I would be banned indefinitely.

Patreon have allowed me to keep my page alive and continue on with a different project, but this time they want to make sure that there is no incest involved. I in turn have agreed to forward my new project idea, storylines and walkthroughs to them before they are published on my page.

When I received this news on Monday, I couldn’t work on the update to be able to finish it. I tried really hard, but I just couldn’t focus, given the tough decision I was left to make. So, I’m terribly sorry but I won’t be able to release v.17 this Saturday as promised.

I do hope he keeps making DMD on his own site. I not really into new stuff right now. Not at all even if he uses the same model. Really hope he doesn't just abandon DMD and move on to other stuff.

I am honestly lost for words after reading that. To even think that this game mite not get any kind of ending is horrifying to me.
Same here, I guess he just has chosen the wrong name. DMD is too obvious incest. I wonder what would happen if we bombarding Patreon with all the adult-incest content. Will they really take down all those sites and lose the 5% share they get on each of those games?

Mehh this ruined my weekend..... I really do hope he finds another way to keep making DMD and another way to get paid.

What do you think? How big is the chance DMD will continue?

Yes, they will. As more youtubers join the platform, the total marketshare of adult games shrinks and therefore Patreon can go with their original plan to ban all adult games. They are making more money off Youtubers now than from adult devs, so Patreon doesn't need them anymore.

Pewdiepie could raise more money for Patreon than all the adult devs combined.

Could MrDots just not create a small shell game on Patreon that fits the guidelines, and possibly parodies how much of a joke Patreon is, then just use his patron email list to get DMD out to them.

i believe if he cant find a way to monetize DMD without Patreon, then there is no way hes going to continue making DMD. the big problem i see is the masses know and trust Patreon. they will put their financial info on the site and feel safe contributing to whatever creator they like. even if Mr. Dots were to find a new site to monetize his project it will be tough. he might not have everyone from Patreon move over because the other platform or site that he would be using to monetize his project might be new to a large number of them. So they might not be inclined to use the platform or feel comfortable leaving their financial information on that platform or site. so the way i see it ( and it pains me, with a heavy heart) this just might be the end of DMD.

And if they did it with DMD its only a matter of time that the other projects start tumbling down as well. These are such sad times for this community and this industry as a whole. hopefully there is a way he can use some other platform. and if i think up any ideas i will certainly try my best to get a hold of Mr. Dots or someone who can (I'm not a pledge.) and i suggest that anyone and everyone who enjoys not only this game but pretty much every game in this community and industry to do the same with Mr. Dots and all the other creators that they enjoy and support!

Hi guys.
I know that many of you only cared about this game and that’s why you signed up to pledge. And if I don’t continue on with DMD now and decide to make different game instead, your first thought may be to leave. I completely understand that. But I’d like to think that you all pledged because of the work and passion we put into our game every month, no matter what the game is.

MrDots

Well, that's it right there. It's definitely dead. For good. The moment you realize a game dies is when the dev starts another one. What a shame to give up like that. Didn't expect Mr.Dots to fold. What a shame.

Sad to say that but unless developing DMD is his hobby as well, it will die. You can't gather money without paypal and Patreon. And if DMD is down now, it's more than likely that DoD, BB and other clearly incest games will die sooner than later. They might even remove whole market in a year. Sad for DMD as even tho I don't like incest it's worth being finished. Hope his next game will be dope

People will attack poor dude for abandoning DMD but seriously what he can do about that? He lives out of it and I'm sure he's in a deep shit right now. Even if he lose half of his patrons he won't lose everyone and going out of patreon would mean that. In fact if he'll stay on Patreon I doubt he'll keep all his teammates if his pledges will drop too much. Crappy for him and all other incest devs

I'm sorry Mr Dots but I would imagine the vast majority of your supporters were only there for one thing and that was DMD. There may be a small percentage that will stick around due to how much they liked DMD and recognising that you would be able to put that quality into your next product but I doubt it would be a large percentage. Truly is a sad day and I now feel the need to shoot some peeps on Battlefield to release some frustration :(

Hey i might be late to this but has anyone else gone around looking for other sites similar to patreon?

i just found this site and i think someone might have gone through a while back and took Mr. Dots name on this site to try and trick people maybe? it doesnt seem like anyone actually used it. take a look at it
