Yep, probably not a tree-hugger. Besides, Money™ has no other politics than to make More Money™. On Patreon's side, I think this is a pre-emptive purge of anything they think MIGHT cause bad publicity in the future.

FARRRKKK!!!
Knew this day would come after the first purge, a new platform for degeneracy needs to step up because Patreon will eventually weed out the rest, slowly but surely. *Puts tin foil hat on* I don't think they're going to stop at incest, my guess is that everything adult related will be wiped from the platform within a year or two.
Does anybody really know what's causing this? My money was on Paypal pressure, they're notoriously anti adult but there's also some conservative group that pressured Steam to censor House Party and ban adult patches being linked officially, maybe it's them? It's a strange world that basically allows all manner of extreme violence to exist but gets all puritanical about sex.
Nutaku's Komochi Greenlight is probably (hopefully) the future for these games but it's still a ways off being a replacement for Patreon.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm slightly confused about the versions of the game. If I've never played it before, which one I should download? Do I need to download the latest ch1 from OP, play it, then download ch2?

Yes, chapter one plays in to Ch 2 and contains the bulk of the story so far. If you're lucky, once you've finished Ch 1, your save will carry over in to Ch 2 but there's a user friendly intro in 2 that lets you add in decisions/stats if your saves don't work.
Appreciate it. We do have a project in the works, our thread is

Do you mean Kimochi Red Light? If so, their TOS basically grants them ownership of any project they work with, so probably not. See discussion at page 721.
On the other hand, MakerSupport seems promising, does anyone know yet if the "MrDots Games" account there is the real deal?

lol Christ that TOS is almost threatening! How the fuck do they go from "100% of the net proceeds go directly to the game developers, Kimochi takes $0!" to "We own your shit now sign here" in the TOS?
So you're right, fuck Kimochi.

because it's using Stripe and that service isn't available in his country of residence (Brazil, I believe). Stripe also has a very strict no-porn policy (filmed, written, drawn or otherwise), but I'm not sure if it's enforced thorougly.

MakerSupport guidelines (

) say "here are some general rules. Cartoons and depictions are nearly always acceptable. Real-life photos and videos of sexual acts are very often considered pornography." The enforcement doesn't seem to be thorough at all. However, MakerSupport is a small operator at the moment, so if Stripe were to take notice and start enforcing their rules more strictly in the future, there might problems ahead.The payment part is a bitch. No point in getting paid if you can't get at the money. Brazil (if that is where he is based) is apparently coming (you can ask for an invite ATM) and there's something called "Stripe Atlas" which "No matter what country you’re based in, you can use

to easily incorporate a U.S. company, set up a U.S. bank account, and start accepting payments with Stripe." Anyway, I'm looking at these things out of idle curiosity, I'm sure MrDots has researched all of these options far more thoroughly.

it’s happening. MrDots patreon page essentially scrubbed of all things DMD. :FeelsBadMan:
basically a wait and see what happens situation. see how v0.17 turns out when it drops in a few weeks and then patiently wait for a solution to present itself so the game can resume updating (albeit at an even more glacial pace)

"I'm in the process of creating a new visual novel based on a romantic, slow paced adventure between an old man and a young girl. Our first demo will be available in March 2018. Stay tuned!"
Mmmmaybe don't word it that way when Patreon is breathing down your neck.

I don't see the problem. Pretty generic description and if it has the same vibe as DMD but without the incest, he could retain most of his supporters and it would not be agains Patreon laws. Not like DS, who's creating a totally different game and could potentially lose a lot more patrons.

His pledges will go down, that is inevitable. You have to understand that only a small amount of pledgers visit sites like this.
