Said it 100x before but prob shouldn't use Patreon in the first place, as he can get banned anyway with everyone's money wasted from just having a de-boring patch which is obviously dev-made, as it's just a 46-byte switch that just unlocks content that was always there, just hidden, like the Hot Coffee mod for GTA.

Two different games
patreon's version is friends indeed where the patch won't work
friends in need is the other version of the game that he has on other platforms
Weird, why even have an AVN at all on Patreon? I can almost guarantee essentially no one is playing the boring whitewashed-for-Patreon version. I'm surprised it hasn't been banned anyway, it's kinda obvious it's TOS circumvention. Genius though, the AVN version of a phishing site by intentionally but subtly mispelling the intended ones' URLs. I know some devs get away with it by simply having nothing to download on Patreon at all, the subs are told to go to their sub-only Discord or something for the links if they want the actual game and not just SFW monthly renders/spoilers from it.

The whole patreon thing sucks so much, adding so much unnecessary hurdles for creators, wishing to hell it dies.
chapter 11 is gonna have a major focus on... you guessed it, the worst character in the game.. gabby, again.
ontop of this he is taking a break in december.
see you guys 1 year from now, when maybe some interesting content will be added

Yeah this is the case for some literotica patreon i follow. they just link the discord to patreon and then share content on discord
It's kinda farcical let's be honest. Isn't it all because some evangelical passed some shitty legislation related to child trafficking or something ridiculous
Well it would if people would quit being idiots and stop using the platform and financially supporting their dumb shit, as every $1 you give to a dev on there Patreon gets 8 cents of that. If a dev I like isn't on SS or other censorship-free platform (at least up to the limits of the law) they don't get my money, period, as I canceled all my Patreon subs just on principle when their shit first started back in 2018, even though most of them weren't even porn back then other than Mr.Dot/ Dating My Daughter that I was subbed to which ended up in limbo until SS was started thanks to them. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before all porn is simply banned there, as it should be anyway, not only would it be simpler for both sides than try to police every porn story on there but it isn't worth subbing to at this point anyway if you want to write/publish or read a compelling or even realistic story on there. Things like rape, incest, bestiality, scat, watersports, blackmail, underage sex, etc exist and always will, even if you choose to make like an ostrich and pretend it doesn't by censoring it.

True, and she was forgotten for a reason, but simply because she was uninteresting to the audience. And since the update was dedicated to her and Gabby, where the hell is Gabby in that case? A couple of scenes at the end of the 10th update is damn little to claim that it is dedicated to Gabby. This is what is upsetting. Instead of the expected female characters, we are once again getting either new ones or uninteresting and forgotten old ones. In the end, this is just annoying, and what was promised was not fulfilled.
Nothing Patron bans is actually illegal (not counting the actual illegal stuff they've never allowed like real C P), at least in the US (though some states have tried to outlaw porn altogether or require state ID to access a site like KY recently started doing, probably just a matter of time before those laws are overturned when someone is either arrested or sues them for it). It's mostly MC's and Paypal's doing and just their usual morality policing and strong-arming bullshit you get to do when you join the billionaire's club. Patreon could have just given them a middle finger and started processing their own payments with direct bank transfers (so instead of people giving bank account numbers to Paypal they'd just give them direct to Patreon and skip over that meddlesome middleman) and been better off in the longer term, they just chose the lazier and less disruptive option in the short term that will probably bite them in the ass over time.

A bit OT but yeah, quite the sadistic prick if he actually existed, yet some weirdos still somehow think he loves them. If anything none of this is "real" and it's just one simulation among countless others, with the scientist(s) /"god(s)" running said simulations giving about the same amount of shits about the individual bits of data called humans (or anything else for that matter) as the cosmologists do about the 12 billion individual particles of that universe simulation (well, a 350M ly cube of it) they did awhile back while studying the evolution of the universe and how/why large scale structures like walls and voids came to be.

This looks really interesting but after checking through the thread I have some questions specifically about the evil route. Not interested at *all* in the good guy route.
What are the consequences for being evil? I really dislike stories that punish you for being evil purely because of "muh realism" when irl that shit rarely ever matters.
Also, will the evil path end with harem?

Lightning round-response to comments I've seen:
"Why is [X] broken?"
Because you're playing an alpha version. Should've waited two days and gotten the beta.
"Why so much Mason?"
Because I wanted to, and because it makes sense for the plot. You have the option to brush him off and go do something else, if you want to.
"Where are all the other girls?"
You mean Madison, Gabby, Nicki, Viola, Carolina, and Brittani? They're here, and all of them get pretty important plot developments. I'm adding a small Ashe scene to the Beta. Pepper, Alex, and Risa were all just in the last chapter. That's the entire main cast, appearing in the last two chapters. I mean, if you're unaware of Sapphire's identity, then Pepper kind of appears in this one, too.
"Why so many new characters?"
Because FiN doesn't take place entirely inside your apartment, sex-mansion, etc. You go out in the world, and tend to meet people there. Don't assume that, just because a girl has a name and headshot icon, means they're going to be overly important. It's just easier to figure out who's speaking when there's not four people with the name Unknown talking back and forth. The main cast are still the girls on the cover.
But, every girl also has a supporting cast, and their own plotlines which sometimes overlap. That tends to mean that yes, there are a lot of characters, and yes, some of them are even women. That doesn't mean they're love interests. Likewise, if you can have sex with someone, that doesn't mean they suddenly became an important character. It means I'm making a porn game, and am trying to work in as much sex as I can, without derailing the plot.
"Why's Friends Indeed even linked here? Why does he even use Patreon?"
I don't know why it's linked here. I've tried to remove it, and the mods put it back. I've tried to remove the "Vanilla Version" because it's not a "Vanilla Version" of FiN. The "Vanilla Version" of FiN already exists, and it's called not installing the patch. Seems like a lot of extra work for the uploaders, but whatever. I literally cannot control what happens in the original post.
Friends Indeed isn't just a version of Friends in Need that removes certain menu choices. It also makes significant changes to certain scenes/renders, softens language here and there, etc. Patrons of Friends Indeed can't get access to certain channels on my Discord. I don't link to Friends in Need from my Patreon. I do about as much as I reasonably can, to keep them entirely separate. As for why Friends Indeed, and my Patreon, exist -- because a lot of people subscribe there, so someone clearly wants it.
"What the fuck, nothing even happened, guess I'll come back in a year."
I get more done in six months than most devs do in a year, so I'll probably see you sooner.
"I paid nothing for this but I'm still upset!"
Sorry?
