I haven't personally used that one, but based on what I've seen, they seem much more open and less intrusive. That being said, Indiegogo seemed to be a good alternative, too, until they weren't. One major problem seems to be, like someone said in a previous post, payment companies exert pressure, but I doubt that tells the whole story. More likely, it's just a convenient excuse to shield the (ideologically motivated) actions of people employed by the platforms themselves.

In all corners of life, money overrides ideological concerns nearly every time. One or two zealots might join up to someplace like Patreon with fanatical goals of ridding it of smut, but in the end the people in charge will always accept legal money. The payment processors are the same way: for years, Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and so on cheerfully processed payments to Pornhub, Xvideos, and many other openly pornographic websites.

What changed was the scope. Patreon got big enough to attract the attention of governments and moral activist groups who weren't thrilled about legally-iffy topics like incest, bestiality, and the like. Everybody loves money, but nobody loves law enforcement attention, major media articles, or Congressional subpoenas. The NY Times expose on Pornhub's shitty moderation allowing revenge porn to stay up (again at the behest of an anti-porn group) furthered this chill and caused the payment processors to think twice about working with adult content. Given the choice between taking a stance and having the larger business threatened, they'll always side with the business. It's also why Tumblr, Imgur, and (soon) Reddit are moving away from porn, because investors in their upcoming IPOs don't want any unwanted attention from anti-porn groups either.

TL;DR: You don't fuck with the money. If smut fucks with the money, smut loses.

Are you really sure that this game, which even its producer abandoned and which has come up with a ton of alternatives as time progressed, is a work that is good enough to talk about for pages every day to continue?

Completely agree. In fact, that kind of external influence, and worse, is pretty much pervasive nowadays (ESG system). The thing is, what we are saying is not mutually exclusive. The cultural context is what it is, and what it has been for years now. The fact that those "motivated" actors I was talking about are even accepted, or tolerated after some time, speaks volumes. I mentioned Indiegogo and Kickstarter because I'm a comic book fan who's been pretty much forced to buy either indie comics or manga, and I've seen the way those platforms have been acting against certain authors who happen not to be perfectly aligned with the dominant intersectional approach to fiction. No spicy stuff, no extreme violent content—just regular superhero action and fantasy, yet, at best, their campaigns get shadowbanned and, at worst, they are booted from the platform.

The political and media pressure you described so well is a major direct factor, but it also had the unfortunate side effect of empowering certain kind of activist who might be able to find his/her way into a position of power at a company. When that happens, you can be sure they will act. And they will be both thorough and petty beyond belief.

Very shortly, ICSTOR will be sending me Liza and Yazmin's renders.

At that point I will have every single render, and the rest of the team will be waiting on me to finish writing them.

I think I should be held accountable for the pace of my progress, so I update it on here.

Have you finished writing for all the other characters?

Every character is complete and sent to the programmer for coding with the exceptions of:
Lily and Sara: Currently writing these.
Violet: I'll start her story as soon as I complete Lily and Sara.
Liza and Yazmin: I'm waiting for ICSTOR to send these renders across.

Seriously, we gonna get Violet Macy and pool girl, 3 character that got nearly 0 screen time (except Violet), and not the harem/preggo ending… a real shit if u ask me

Well, we have no proof that anything stated is, or isn't, happening. Until the time comes, you can safely assume there will be zero endings at all. Or you could look at it a different way. Until the final release does, or does not, come. This project is both alive and dead... Schrodinger's pussy, if you will.

Quite proud of that double entendre.

how else do you think they can keep the scam alive? By giving us BS like this to start with then milk some more money out of the gullible subscribers promising other endings with a DLC down the road.

Mine get deleted too for those reasons as well.
Those fanboys/fangirls that think that its fine if it's delayed after so many promises are delusional, hence they report those messages.

Onyx still needs to complete Sara/Lily, Violet, Liza and Yasmin.
That is probably 2 weeks... No wait make it 4 weeks because he still needs to receive the renders of Liza and Yasmin.
Then after he is done it will be god how long because he needs to send it back to icstor.

And if someone deletes this I know they are butthurt about the truth and I will make a screenshot of this as proof it got posted.
