VN Ren'Py Layla: Shattered Hopes [Ep.4] [OtB Games]

[OtB Games]

can you add layla doing hard drugs, and add currency?

Drugs are prohibited on almost all major platforms. Since I plan to release the game on Steam and Patreon, I need to account for their guidelines, which explicitly forbid such content.

I firmly believe a powerful "descent into the rock bottom" can be achieved without it. The darkness will come from the human cost of the choices the player makes, the psychological pressure, and the grim realities of the environment Layla is in. Her "rock bottom" will be defined by moral compromise, desperation, and loss of self, which I find to be a more universally resonant and narratively interesting struggle.

Regarding adding a traditional currency system: I don't see the value in it for this project. It would force me to spend time balancing an economy—effort that I feel would be better spent on elements I find more compelling.

My main focus is to concentrate entirely on the story, the narrative, and the variety of choices the player will have to make. For me, that's the heart of the game.

Patreon forbid blackmail, coercion which is a form of dubious consent, sexual slavery. Main thing that results in insta ban are noncon, pedo content, any type of animal content and incest. Basically everything that's illegal. This is a thing for every platform, SS banned loli content for now though it doesn't mean they won't rest.

Yeah, I'm okay with that. Thanks for the detailed clarification — I can live with it.
In Episode 5, you'll see that it's possible to create lewd scenes without resorting to explicit content

Yeah, I understand that Patreon what says it goes but their changing rules every time is pissing people off. Since I'm in fanfiction community, some of the writers had to change their stories since one fanfiction writer's story that had rape is deleted. I thought it's only art and game but it seems they are strict even in writing form with rules.

Patreon does tolerate blackmail and coercion if its optional. Its the f'ed up logic that prevails on that platform.
