Can confirm that this matches the one on your site with the fix in mnight2-final which isn't present in the one in the OP
Thanks for letting me know, I'll get that fixed.


Well, it existed for less time than shitreon did. And also has its share of problems, just like shitreon.
Just different flavor of problems, which is probably what makes some people jumpy. :whistle::coffee:
But as you can see it's perfectly viable just like shitreon, just has fewer payment options if i remember right and of course, far less popular than shitreon.
Yeah the far less popular part is the problem. If something were to happen to my Patreon account, I don't think many people would jump right over to Subscribestar, sadly.

Shitreon invents nonsense rules so that it can have an excuse to kick anyone out if they become too inconvenient yes.
That's why they're so unpredictable and its best to have backups especially when dealing with them.
But then again, it's best to have a backup plan when dealing with absolutely anything on this planet, imo. :sneaky::coffee:
I agree. Nota Bao was banned from Patreon (temporarily?) for using real porn gifs.
But more than half of the games on that site use real porn gifs.

Likewise, "realistic AI art" is banned, but I still see plenty of games using it when I look around.

So I've been of the same exact opinion for "Shitreon invents nonsense rules so that it can have an excuse to kick anyone out if they become too inconvenient."

However I don't want to piss off Patreon, so I must bow to my supreme Patreon overlords as long as most of my income comes from there.

Actually, i wouldn't be so sure.
If you can gather a loyal following with the ever-improving quality of your work... then they will support you til death do you part.
Even gonna go as far as getting star account just to support you. But, creating such a following.. is not a walk in the park. :giggle::coffee:

Yup, that's simply yet another example of them following their rather arbitrary mood swings. :whistle::coffee:

Indeed. We arrived at the primary issue.
Far too many devs kowtow to Patreon simply because they have no choice, which curbs their creativity something fierce.
Among other things.
As of now Patreon doesn't have a reliable, solid competition, especially one that can reliably deal with the budding porn game industry.
Monopoly really sucks doesn't it? It annoys the hell outa me to no end... :cautious::coffee:

My ISP is a monopoly but not for much longer, they've finally installed google fiber in my area.

No idea when I can switch, apparently they're doing a lot more neighborhoods before I can.

Two months ago my ISP raised the price of internet from $80/month to $300/month because "my contract expired", and they refused to reimburse me the amount. My ISP doesn't even display the full price of internet outside of a contract in their fine print either, so they can basically charge whatever they want.

Was able to get my bill back down to 95/month (ugh), but they forced me to pay $300 for only 1 month of subpar internet.

Monopolies do suck.
