Is there any content prohibited in porn games?

There are always white knights who will report your content. At that point they'll ask for a copy of the script, or so that's the idea I've been given. I have argued for a while that it's unlikely that they're playing the games, as that's hours of pay and companies are generally cheap. However, games like DmD had removed the content from their game at first glance, but left it hidden inside and then been taken down for good. So you could try it, but you will eventually be caught.
Understood, thanks.

Another question – is there any good ways to make money except Patreon, where it is could work for a long time? :)

As far as i understand, their judgement depends only on the page itself? Or they downloading and playing the game? In the first case i can just not mention the "bad content" in the description, right?
As far as I know they just look at the pages and read reports, though sanitizing you main page would buy at least some months until there are other services running, there are some beginning to pop up, but noting as trustful or big as Patreon.

Not at the moment. I'm waiting for the site Sponsorion to launch, which they've said will happen this spring. However until then the other sites that exist aren't all that inspiring AdultPledge for instance has really high fees and isn't doing much to inspire consumer trust.

You can post anything except for underage content here. However you can't fund incest rape bestiality mind control etc etc etc through popular methods like Patreon. So if you wanna make money, no you can't, but so long as your game is completely fictional and doesn't use copywritten materials you'll be fine.
You could fundraise on a platform If they and there payment Prosser was OK with it. But underage is a No-No all around
Of course, you need a good amount of money to start a platform like that

Sponsorion I'm not sure how well they will work they say 5%. I doubt they can keep it that low as adult products are High-Risk and getting a payment provider to do 5% on high-risk you would need insane volume

You haven't seen the email? They specifically went with a high risk payment provider.

Micro-subscription platforms are a mind fuck even moreso than fundraising platforms were, that quick hit of the subscription button and subsequently being too lazy to unsubscribe is uniquely good at getting people spending a lot of money. To raise funds effectively on something like indiegogo you need an established reputation or be supremely good at bullshitting and drumming up interest.

Until some other patreon-like website gets a similar subscriber count nothing will beat patreon bucks.

I was saying that High-risk payment providers won't do 5% fee to low for High risk also one of the providers (a major adult content payment provider) I've talked to regarding adult content had no problem with the content but denied to do it based on it being crowdfunding as that makes it Double high-risk and their bank would not allow crowdfunding

Also, a good amount of adult payment platforms will Not allow Bestiality and Rape

Ok... but as they have said the market is full of providers and they've been candid, and made a statement about the fee schedule, which is .05 cents higher than patreon.

I'm not taking away anything that you've talked to people about, merely pointing out that they seem to have found one that will.

What do you think is Patreon's stance on these elements if they are simply mentioned but not depicted? E.g. for the purpose of the storyline, would it be "illegal" to mention/hinting rape without showing pictures of it?

Given they've said they're okay with fiction like Game of Thrones, where (as far as I'm aware) a 13 year old Daenerys is married off to Khal Droggo and raped on her wedding night, they should be perfectly fine with it. But lets be honest here. They won't be.

You'll probably actually be fine just mentioning someone was raped though. They say Survivor stories are okay. It's all up to the whims of patreon at the end of the day.

Yes, that's how I'd like to interpret that too. But seeing how they have swept adult creators under the rug by hiding us from plain sight I wouldn't be surprised if they think we walk on thin ice with everything we do.

That is the case, we are on thin ice in their minds. To be honest, you're not likely to be reported for narratively important things like character x got sexually assaulted. Now, the scene at the start of my game where the father is shown molesting his son before his daughter stumbles on the scene and shoots the bastard with his own gun... That's probably gonna get reported. Luckily I don't plan on using Patreon for that one.

In case you coming from majority muslim country, I suggest you not to make one. If somehow your work became renown &/or exposed, at the very least is humiliation for life. Jail time could also be the punishment for some moderate muslim country. And if you coming from fundamental Islamic country such as Saudi Arabia or Iran, better change countries before dare to make one, as the punishment could lead to capital punishment (beheading) or 100x beating punishment with hard stick (no pun intended).
