Incest Patch

[Judge007]

hello, i have two questions about incest patches.
how developers avoid being suspended for incest content by patreon? how incest patches works?

Devs usually swap out all the incest with not-really-believable "roommate-landlady-friend" versions to not get banned on patreon.

On the technical side, the easiest way is to just write both lines all the time under an "if" clause and check whether the incest patch is present:

if incest_patch:
    mc "Hi, sis!"
else:
    mc "Hi, Mary!"

thanks for answer.

I'm not a programmer, but wouldn't it be easier to make "sis" a variable? Which could be unlocked either via a patch or by user input?

It would save a lot of lines of code, and it doesn't require a new patch for every version.

I'm quite sure a lot of games actually work like this.

I recall one developer simply addin a single sentance after the introduction, simply saying something like, "Oh by the way, you are adopted." Of course the player knows to ignore it as the game is meant to be played with incest. I dont remember if it lasted long or if Patreon still took down the game.
