Too be fair, i don't think people wanna throw you to them just as a human throwing a bag of puppies into a meat grinder. A line we pirates and modders try not to cross from the original game creators we derive our work and pleasure from.It's hard to say if this game has helped bring subs to Ferdafs or not. His sub numbers aren't public and I don't think he's ever said anything about it on pateron. I hope it has? It is one (of many) reasons I don't accept monetary compensation for this project, and encourage people to support Ferdafs instead.
The "don't ask, don't tell" logic implying Ferdafs not saying anything about your mod would bring backlash and subsequently pulling support from their Patreon supporters (if they haven't already) if they decided to ... pursue this legally / if they even wanted too.
But also teaming up would have consequences for both you and them because Patreon frowns on the spicier themes, which Patreon owns by all accounts and Ferdafs is their employee. It's in their TOS contract, I know because i was going to use them as well until I've learned my work and content is their intellectual property they pay me for to own. Learning this i also researched into the why and found Patreon can't cash checks with explicitly strong porn because they were deemed too questionable by the banking industry ergo: can't lean into legally regulated content that is in breach of local authorities. Ergo, fines and jail time and assets being frozen. Which means Ferdafs takes the fall because the game mod which is based of their game is attached at the hip. Guilty by association.
So yeah, not a good idea to try pursuing a team up, at least not while Ferdafs is still working under Patreon. Even if it meant you, NightMirror could get compensated and finish a well designed game together. The legality of it is treacherous and shady as hell.
