The only other possibility is that Patreon's leadership ITSELF is a "moral majority" population.
Close, it's the credit card companies taking the position of the moral majority as you're putting it. Big credit card company's practically have a monopoly just split between the 2 biggest ones with a few smaller providers fighting for scraps and niches. Since the big 2 control so much of the market without any meaningful competition that they don't need to worry about tip toeing around public reaction or outside influence. Oh you're gonna boycott mastercard? Good for you, good luck working with the alternatives who take the same stances or don't provide the same coverage. Same with Visa. Meanwhile American Express isn't serviced at a lot of stores both online and brick and mortar. So it makes no sense that the credit card companies need to placate public approval when they practically own the entire industry and are absolutely needed to function in an increasingly online society. The only alternative, and only logical conclusion, is that it's internal pressure from their board of directors and share holders. Have to remember that the US is traditionally a very religious and socially conservative nation. The religious right has a long standing hold on a lot of the economic power of the nation and much of the generational wealth and they have a lot of influence on the policy, both public and private within it.

Which means subscribestar isn't safe either it's probably just too small still to have caught their eyes.

Hopefully not any time soon but probably inevitable unless they take some very unorthodox steps to secure their payment infrastructure. They don't accept paypal which is what's important for now but as I understand paypal started banning incest content on any service that uses them as a result of pressure from the credit card companies, so it's possible that SS might have to choose between allowing incest or keeping credit card payments one day.
Hypothetically they could make a sister site that doesn't use credit card payment options and that would keep them safe a lot longer but that'd probably be pretty bad for creators if the only way you could pay is through, bank cards, wire transfers or crypto. Not to mention who knows if it'd even be worth it to maintain such a site.

Only thing that's going to push folks off Patreon is something better. There is enough coding power here to hack the planet. Seems like, with some concentrated effort, a "bigger and better" could be created.

Don't know if it's still like this but I always hated Patreon is that you couldn't make single payments. You HAD to use a subscription model which is exactly what they want. Just like Amazon Prime. You set up a subscription, forget about it and then you keep paying month after month even if you no longer wish to be doing so. Fuck.. them.

So back on topic, anyone else think that Anthony has a bunch of female parts still and hasn't made his transition? And that he wants to use them with the MC?

Bad day for My Dorm. Bad day for devs when Patreon uses f95 links as proof of incest

As I've said several times before, including previously in this thread in a different context...

CyberNazis gotta CyberNazi
(And they can all suck donkey balls!)

Honestly, I'm surprised that the person sending you the nastygram wasn't named... wait for it... ERIC!

Maybe it's the Jack Herer and I'm not claiming an exact match but Emma (once she gets her new hairstyle and makeup) reminds me so much of Cece. Yes the render but also her personality. They both kind of bounce around bubbly from person to person. Anyway... trust the Jack.

P.S. How in the hell did you work a Pittsburgh joke in there? Yinz? Someone on that dev team follows the black and gold!

Uh, ya...that's the "moral majority" I was referring to. I just didn't want to start a fiasco about "religion" here.

In any case, I agree. Let's get back on topic.

Just finished Part 1 and starting Part 2. The MC is pretty derpy but it's not a show stopper atm. My favorite girl, so far, has to to be Rosie, the aunt, I forget her default name. She's an utter babe but I really don't care for her rip-curl haircut. Probably because I've seen it on too many other models. Thankfully I grabbed a couple of shots without that hair style and she looks so much more beautiful. In the first one I think she looks a lot like Angelina.
Norah's hairstyle was my wife's choice, so I should comply with it :D
There are some hairstyles I don't like to work with, and Norah's is one of them. If I had known then the downsides of it, I wouldn't have shown it to her. But I agree, Norah's one of my favorites for the #2 spot.

It has probably been suggested before, but an Early Access release on Steam does wonders for dealing with the evil overlords at Patreon. They don't care about incest. (y)
The idea is to release Part 1 on Steam. It has been an idea for a long time (almost a year) but I want to do it with some things I don't like in the first chapters fixed (some grainy renders I'm ashamed of, moving the whole Part 1 interface to Part 2 interface, and even adding a gallery that should be added previously to Part 2). It will take time and every free minute I have is spent developing the current update, so I'm always delaying it.

Anthony has made the complete transition, so he won't be an LI (for the MC).

Emma and Cece (I guess you mean the LoF character) share the same model and it's not heavily customized, so visually they are almost identical. Personality wise I can't agree. Even if I didn't finish LoF, what I played showed me a different Cece. Perhaps it's because I didn't finish it. :D

My right thumb asked my left thumb. Nope, no one in the team follows the black and gold. Why thumbs? Because it's a one-man developer team and I couldn't ask anyone else. :ROFLMAO:
I decided Kate was from Pittsburgh because, when I was designing her and chose her name, my wife told me "overweight and named Kate? Someone will find some parallels with 'This is Us'". So she got a couple of brothers (Randall and Kevin, although neither is adopted or non-caucasian), moved her home from the originally planned Buffalo to Pittsburgh, and I started researching what would localize her even more (the rest of the girls' hometown isn't used yet). I discovered the 'yinz' and some other things (like the rivalry with the Browns, so I moved Kim to Cleveland to be able to insert a joke).
I'm a Spaniard, so my knowledge about American sports is very limited (besides the NBA, which I've been following since the 80s), but I'm an avid researcher.
I wanted to insert the 'yinz' for a while, but not with a shoehorn, so that was a good moment.

Well Cece was one way when it had to do with her and her issues but another way when she was around others. She just wanted to help everyone with their issues. Plus, when socializing, she seemed much more "sunny" for example the vacation at the mansion in LA. Alone or when triggered it was pretty damn terrible for her.

Much respect for that level of research and it's not just the research... it's the story building which sits on top. Really man, I would have bet a LOT of money that you or a staff member was from Pittsburgh. Fooled me completely. :)

You can always create patches through Steam. I used to work for AAA companies a lifetime ago doing QA. So any tweaks you want to do can be fixed in patch especially since what you want to patch is cosmetic and not because it's full of bugs. "We'll fix it in patch" is one of the most common things people in my department would groan about as projects approached release. I understand as a dev you want to release a perfect product, but the thing is you're releasing a working product. (Which is more than Cyberpunk released as.) The thing with AAA games is that devs don't control the release, heck QA can only delay a release if the bugs present cause a monetary liability to the company. Marketing sets releases. There have been very successful indie games that weren't or aren't completed that have patched massive amounts of content (Terraria, Stardew Valley, Valheim, etc.) Although adult games are more niche, (despite the fact that everybody gets horny - even the 'moral majority' (which is weird since they're neither moral nor the majority*.)) the important thing is "My Dorm" is good enough to launch its Season 1. With Patreon drying up your major revenue stream, Steam should be able to fill that gap.

Seeing as Nora is my number one, I am happy to see she is a strong contender for your number 2.

Right now I'm not writing any scene with any of the girls. So Martha is my #1.
Strong contenders for #2 right now are Norah, Erika, Kiara, Daphne, Scarlett, and Debbie.
BUT when I am writing a (romance or lewd) scene with any of the girls, that girl is my #1. It doesn't matter if it's Alexia, Meemaw, Saira, Simone, or Samantha. The girl who is in alone-time with the MC is my #1. Even girls who still haven't had that chance (like Kim, Amanda, Lisa, or Eva, to name a few) have been in the #1 spot.

Nope, you're wrong, Martha is ALWAYS number 1..........
