Does anyone know what happened to Combin? I liked his games and like to support him, just his patreon has been down, and I dont know any other way to suport him. Is there like a discord server or something?

He's been AWOL for a few months now, shortly before his Patreon was put "Under Review" (which has been since November last year or something?). At this point I'm inclined to believe he just got demotivated and walked away or something.

As for other means of contacting, no Discord or similar that I know of. Only his that has been pretty much dormant for more than a year.

That said, it's not entirely unlikely that he shows up out of the blue with an update or anything. He's never been a communicative person. But I don't hold my breath sadly.

Well he wasn't very smart if he put these games on patreon as all of his games break many of their rules. Like rape and bestiality.

By the way he just released this game on DLsite. So, there might be still some hope for his others games after all.

Sadly, I think those games all will be censored now since they will be released in DLsite.

Creator's page on patreon is deleted but i did a search, and on his blog i found that he created a profile on

He didn't get much money via Patreon anyways.
I bet he is just adding his old stuff to dlsite to get an extra dollar from it.
Of course, I'd be happy to be proven wrong

Update on the current situation (kept only relevant information, emphasis mine):
As I found it is not going to charge Patrons when the page is suspended, I think this maybe a good time for me to finally take a break as I have been developing and releasing updates for the the past few years. I am sorry that I didn't inform any of you at that time because I want to stay away from the development completely and I haven't planned when to return. It is actually a rather rough decision in that situation.

One of the fact is I am exhausted of releasing updates in the past few years...I am a single developer who create most parts of the games which includes art, script(RPG Maker) and text with only a friend to help. The first year seems to be ok but after that, I found it was draining my interest slowly and started to tire me out. So, I hope to take this chance to rest and rethink about the development of my games as the number of Patrons have dropped a lot also.

I have thought of two main reasons for the decline of Patrons. The first reason is Patreon has started to censor some of the adult content like in the past 2 years. At the time I have removed all the nudity on my main page, the amount of new Patrons have dropped by half for each month and it keeps going down. It is sad that you can't show the things that you are trying to sell, lol. The second reason is my development has been slowed down since I am releasing monthly or even less frequent updates on Patreon. Despite there are extra content created like World Of Eqalem, Agent Alona : Missions...etc, only two games are actually completed since I started Patreon and I think what attracted people most at the beginning is my games are completed despite they are not something truly amazing and evolving like having a great system or really beautiful graphic like some other works on Patreon. So, I think they are the main reasons why my Patreon is failing.

I have been searching for more games on DLSite and found a new site named Ci-en which is similar to Patreon in the last month. As I have listed my games on DLSite, I have setup the page and connected my creator account to Ci-en successfully and below is the page: ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/6593

After discovering this site, I think this maybe the time for me to continue to work on my games as I can promote them and the development without worrying about violating rules as all my previous games are listed on DLSite with no problem and also, I have been away from the development for like half year. However, I am actually not sure what to really do as I still have Patrons on Patreon. So, I would like to unsuspend my Patreon account first to decide what to do next. After removing all preview pictures on my Patreon page, I contacted them for review and I thought I can unsuspend it just like before. However, they have actually asked me about the content of my games this time and wanted detailed answer...So, I believe I can no longer use Patreon to promote and receive support as my games should have violated most of their rules. I knew they are trying to 'clean' their site at some point but didn't expect they would even want to know and censor the content of the actual games.

In conclusion, I would like to announce I am leaving Patreon now because I won't be able to unsuspend my page and is moving on to Ci-en. And I believe I am heading to the right direction as I think my games are more suited on Ci-en because it can accept more extreme themes like rape, shota, beastialty...etc, just like DLSite.

It would be truly helpful if you don't mind to create an account(or existing DLSite JP account) and follow me there as it is free. I am going to post update information including preview pictures to the public on Ci-en. And if you still would like to support me, you can choose one of the 3 options. However, there will be no update currently as I found it is going to slow the development down and exhaust me which hurts the games eventually. I don't expect I would receive as much support as before but only hope it can helps a bit on maintaining and motivating the development.

As Reporter Kate is also released on DLSite too now, I am going to continue to work on Survivor Sarah 2 Chapter 2 and try to complete it this time. As you know, it is the biggest stuck of the whole development and I have worked on this game for years. So, if I am able to finish this, I believe things will be different. And latest release will be a reward on Ci-en and I would like to start it with Survivor Sarah 2 Chapter 2 when it is completed.
So, TL;DR: He stepped away from making games for 6+ months (since the last Patreon page blocking), but is officially returning to Ci-en and will keep on working on his games (allegedly/hopefully).

- He renders some of the best tits out there.
- How did I forget how dark his games can be (especially if you go after all of the H-scenes)?
- Getting killed by the druggies results in game over - but they're easily avoided. Died once to test it out. Not sure if you can get different scenes (like in his Green Shadow game).
- Kind of fun to see the references / visuals tied to Survivor Sarah and other games.
- "Completed" and got the Angry Benny ending . . . probably not interested enough to pursue other endings. I assume there is a "good" ending if you don't burn through all of your ethics (like his other games . . . something like >60, >40 and <40 get different endings).
- Still kinda fun to play another of his games . . . but not as good as the others (Agent Alona and Green Shadow are my two favorites - Survivor Sarah I to a certain extent).
