Ren'Py Patreon & Incest

[NephosDev]

I'm in early development for a game that might eventually go up on Patreon. I'm aware of the general restrictions when it comes to incest, but my question is more specific than that.

I have two characters that were initially written as siblings (male MC and younger sister), but since I'm not interested in incest as a fetish all that much, I decided to rework their backstories instead of attempting to shift a few words around for the eventual release. Basically, I just want the characters to have a relationship dynamic similar to siblings that don't get along, with a lot of playful and sarcastic banter, who eventually warm up to each other. So now I'm wondering, if I say that a character is "like a sister to me", would it still be potentially too much of a red flag for Patreon, or can I get away with it?

Thanks in advance.

from Stone Fox Studios sounds a lot what you are describing, where the two main character grew up together after a his mom married her dad. They don't advertise that dynamic on their Patreon, so maybe that is the key.

According to their community guidelines, it's only not allowed if they're closely related, they're not very consistent with their rules on nsfw games though, but what you described sounds fine.

yes that's definitely a red flag to patreon because they dont allow sibling sex and it doesnt matter of blood related or not. so the more you make it feel like their are like siblings, the more patreon will disallow it. exactly where they draw the line is impossible to say but you're playing with fire. dont make them act like, or treat each other like, family members if you want to be safe

that just clarifies that when they say "family members" they dont mean you cant fuck your wife or her side of the family. of course you can. but you cant fuck a sister, and then it doesnt matter if blood or not.

No, you're right, they're talking about people who are legally related to you (probably in response to everyone just adding "step" to their family banging games and changing nothing else)
