I still dont understand how other games on patreon are puting out all these censored content in their own games...
ICSTOR got flagged. Once you get flagged they start watching you much more closely.

Other Patreon accounts have also been flagged and taken down.

Cases in point:

Big Brother:

"
Today is January 27, one year anniversary of Big Brother on Patreon. We had very productive year, our game has earned a lot of followers and we had a lot of plans for it in the future. But, unfortunately, Patreon has decided it doesn't want incest content on their website anymore. First we couldn't mention it in the description, then we couldn't have any adult content on our page for non-subscribers and now our game is banned altogether. And we can't cut out incest out of the game to unlock our page either, so here's what's going to happen in the near future:
  1. We're still going to finish 0.13. We won't get any money for it and it's going to be free (you'll find it on the torrent sites, there will be links on discord and telegram, etc.). 0.13 is going to be released on time because a lot of players are waiting for it.
2. Big Brother is going to be frozen and 0.13 is going to be considered a final version of the game for now. We may continue BB development if we find an alternative to Patreon.
3. Our Patreon page is going to be completely reworked and restarted without Big Brother.
4. Our team is going to start working on our new project Glamour full time. You'll know more about it on our new updated Patreon page.
5. We're going to continue giving you regular updates. New screenshots, gameplay mechanics description, interface, etc. We love making adult games and we're going to continue making them, regardless of the temporary setbacks. Stay tuned!

There's rumours that pirates are planning to release a patch that would restore certain content. Pirates work very fast. I would say that they'll probably get something sorted for the community within hours of the game releasing.

They're nefarious like that.
What about the 3-day earlier beta access from patreon? doesn't seem worth it if the evil pirates don't release their patch by then

Any sleep sex due to non-consent.
Celia's entire route due to heavy themes of non-consent.
The neighbours because they considered it to be wrong for the lesbian woman to try and convert a non-lesbian.
Any reference to "teen" for Sara.
References to Sara's inexperence with sex have to be removed.
Any reference to familial relations had to be removed due to incest. Linda became a landlady, Sara and Caroline became tenants, Bob became the landlady's husband.

That's just off the top of my head from what I remember. From a creative standpoint it was fucking brutal.

It's worth caveating that Patreon takes their instructions on what content is suitable from their payment processors - like Visa and Mastercard.

I have to agree with you that's brutal, so for them the whole game is wrong, this is stupid

At first I thought that it was the law that hold the Patreon and forbited all incest content I didnt know that they take intructions from Visa and Mastercard

To my knowledge I think that the Visa and Mastercard thing started when the Pornhub accusations started
my opinion I think that its good that they are taking some actions because Pornhub was taking a nap when some users uploaded stuff that they shouldn't upload and there are victims that exists because of some assholes that decided to ruin those victims lifes but this affects other creators who are making a living out of porn videos or games or even animations

I mean I dont see how a game on patreon lets say Milfy city will make any harm even with the incest content they are not taking real people and expose them to porn the same shit was going on when Mortal Kombat was first released some people creamed their pants because they thought that their kids playing the game will become murderers
Cases in point:
Summertime Saga
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I don't see how Summertime Saga effect the rules of the Patreon I mean they took out the incest content this game doesn't have rape or sleeping sex not a non concent so why they are reviewing DC I dont understant a thing

Were neighbours and Celia removed or just revised? That was a substantial portion of the game.

The neighbours were removed as 100% of their story violated Patreon's terms of service.

Celia has been extensively, extensively, extensively reworked to get her back in.]

Pirates will probably upload a version that has her original theme. It's like whackamole. You take down one pirate uploading a rule-breaking mod, and five more appear.

I can only speak for the UK, but there is no legislation which bans the production of art depiticting incest, provided the participants are adults.

The seminal legal case on the issue is where a British man produced a work depicting the rape and murder of the pop group Girls Aloud. He was charged under the under the claim that his work could accidentally and easily be found by young fans of Girls Aloud. The court found that he was not guilty as his work had been suitably hidden from the reach of minors. e.g. behind an 18+ warning, and also not appearing unless people were speciifically searching for guro content.

In terms of Mastercard and Visa, they are private businesses who have elected not to process financial transactions for a large segment of the erotic industry. This really hurts adult content creators as it becomes much more diffcult to pay and recevie payments without Mastercard or Visa to faciliate transfers of money.

There have been very clear instructions from Patreon that there cannot be an official patch which restores forbidden content. Even if the patch is hosted on another website, such as ICSTOR's own site.

Which is why it's down to pirates to restore the content.
Question does Subscribe star also have the same rules as Patreon or they are more free to those rules?

Don't worry often is the case the pirates, and modders, can often do a better job writing. so best to leave the game for a while and hopefully some one more competent can complete it.

You keep talking about a "pirate" version even though there's no "official" final version yet. :Kappa:

Onyxdime about how many hours of gameplay do you expect the update to have?
I honestly don't know. My current playthrough is WAY slower than any real player actually would given that I have to analyse/check/fix each line as I go. I'm also having to check everything from the start, rather than just the new content.

Beta playtesters will probably be able to better answer that question than I can, when it goes out to them.

Okay, so roughly 30min update? That sounds great :BootyTime:

Onyxdime why couldn’t you rework the neighbors story like Celia extensively? Or is it because Patreon could not let you

Celia is critical to the plot. Cutting her from the game entirely, as Patreon originally suggested, ruins Judy's route as well given that she is supposed to be providing therapy to help you deal with Celia's actions.

The neighbours had two scenes which weren't linked to any other characters. Patreon may have let us if we tried again.

After we get 1.0 out the door and released I'll ask ICSTOR if he's interested in going back to the neighbours and seeing if we can find a Patreon-compliant way to slot them back in.


deliah????? whos dat
The best girl.

Originally just called "Pool girl", ICSTOR let me design her plot and turn her into a side-character. Nowhere near as much content as the main girls, but her content is quite unique compared to what you do with the other girls in game.
