For those wondering what happened to the OXO, I was backing them on Patreon back when they were around. From what they told the community, they proposed to their GF and told her about what they were doing as a job and the GF wasn't cool with it. Basically stopped doing lewd stuff so they could get married. I was pretty pissed since they were working on a new game at the time and had pretty much nothing to show for what I pledged, but I would have done the same thing in their shoes. They dumped the assets after that, pretty sure Poke Abby had already been handed over to another party to port to VR. The animal wieners are from the game they never finished, was going to be open exploration where you could mate with 'spirits' and get knocked up with their eggs.

no, its all just old stuff from their furaffinity and itch account from before they vanished.There's a horse penis model and a dog penis model in that rar file. Should we expect a juicy update soon?
They also have tree models and nature stuff but I dident have those before they vanished.

That is a sad story if I've ever heard one, my own sentiments on the matter would differ from yours though, and it's just another reason why I don't do Patreon.

What happened to bros before hoes?
Alright, jokes aside, people need to be comfortable with their partner's work. If my future lifelong companion happen to be a developer for a smut game then I just have to accept that. If it pays the bills and they enjoy their work then who the hell am I to judge them? Love comes first I guess but goddamn, think about all the hours and effort the devs went into making this project and then be forced to stop.
Edit: Assuming it's all true of course.

Jk or fr?
What a bitch either way, but if Deviant dev is actually still Oxo just under a different name, then it looks like it's worked out alright

The reality is a good number of the games posted here would never have even gotten started if Patreon didn't pop up as a means of support. The Western adult games industry was pretty small before it, at least outside of Japan.
He made the right decision for him, I'm not trying to call foul. I'm just also reserving the right to be pissed about it. I just checked my folder, I still have the environment mock-up for the follow up game. It was called Fuu Garden. Just a forest with a few details you walk around in first person, nothing spicy or really interesting or I'd try to put it up.
Oh I remember that one. https://f95zone.to/threads/fuu-garden-v0-01-pre-alpha-oxopotion.7235/ (showed up at the bottom of the page under "similar threads").
And yeah, as to the creator's situation, I understand that he chose a (hopefully) life partner over making these games. Also maybe his SO overreacted, but I do understand how the content he was making can be seen to be a fair bit extreme. (Molesting/raping a cartoon, somewhat chibified young woman). Not trying to kink shame, but I do understand that to anyone who isn't used to this genre, that's quite... a strong thing to be working on.

Idk sounds like a manipulative relationship to me, imagine asking an actress / actor SO to stop doing their job because you're jelly of people they act with.
To me that's a massive red flag, sounds like someone who later will go full "Your bike or me" kind of shit, worse being a source of income. Miss me with that shit homie, I rather have bread to eat than ass.

Noted, but if it hadn't been Patreon it would have been another company that you can be sure of. Capitalism tends to work that way, specially with new technology in Silicon Valley and the California. The problem I have is with the management and the decisions they chose made. Case and point, SubscribeStar, which isn't even in the Americas, but did come along later, is doing mostly the right thing mostly because Patreon did the wrong thing.
As a personal note, and game dev myself, I wouldn't want your money if I didn't think I deserved it. Patreon treats both customer and developer like their own Guinea pigs and think themselves a bank and lender at the same time. So unless you have no problem "donating" your money through (to) Patreon and the game dev with that little caviar, I'd say you have more than the right to be pissed off, because you'd been played.
Anyway, at least you got a consolation gift it seems, and it looks like you're cool with that so heck, dubbins is dubbins am I right.

Fair, I mean it depends on the situation, we obviously don't know more than the bare minimum. What I meant is that I could see reasonable, rational situations where a SO was uncomfortable with the work he was doing. Also possible it was an unreasonable request, I don't know more nor is it any of my business.
Okay, why are like half of these people talking about the man's relationship? If I even read the first post right the guy don't even know if any of this is actually true. This whole thing is just getting weird now.

I don't get that feeling at all from this post.
You have to remember that even the most developed countries still hold pornography in poor regard. It's not something most can casually talk to friends and family about without fear of being ostracized, which is echoed in the post. The other problem is that he's been hiding years of his work from his fiancée up until they're about to marry. Imagine being with someone long enough that you think they're the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, only to be told "oh by the way, I've been hiding half my life from you" just months away from marrying. Regardless of what it was, you'd feel hurt, right? That's on him.
And from what it sounds like, he's incapable of separating work from his personal life. If he keeps working on them, he will have to talk to her about them. In his own words, he needs to share it. And that's not fair for her, especially after being blindsided.
Regardless of what changed recently, he wanted to be with her more than he wanted to continue making porn games, it's as simple as that. We can only hope that she's worth more than what he had to give up.

I don't disagree with your points, but they're unrelated. It sounds like you have a personal beef with Patreon, but that wasn't a deciding factor in why OXO chose to discontinue the project. The risk of a creator deciding to drop a project unfinished is there for any subscription based crowdfunding platform, only something like Kickstarter creates an obligation for the creator to actually finish what they started. That's a big gamble for creators though, it can be hard to budget small projects for someone who's just getting started. Run out of money working on a Kickstarter project and you can have lawyers come knocking.
Realistically, I'm not really bitter about the money. For some of the higher tier crowdfunding stuff you end up spending more than you would on a full $60 USD game if you back the at $5 level for more than a year, so it's ultimately less about getting a good deal and more about supporting a creator. It's rare to see a developer with that level of skill and such a unique art style, got me hyped up and then just left. There's probably a joke about his backers getting NTR'ed by his wife in there somewhere.
