Always remember – no Patreon’s – no game – more Patreon’s - better game with more content
This is in fact a veiled threat and poorly thought out marketing scheme. Due to my financial situation I CANNOT continuously support ANY game but have on occasion supported this game at the bronze level. The only one this fair is to is Bob. IMHO

On that note I still this a unique and enjoyable game that I guess I am now reduced to waiting for the public release. One thing that is not unique is that it will be hacked like most if not all the other games here.

I haven't even played the game but I still enjoy this thread for the drama. I like this new development. I don't remember any other game with similar drm and such a thinly veiled threat to the patrons not to share.

You're probably right but it may hopefully delay the sharing a bit. Of course it's fair to me too :) but how will you feel if you buy something in a shop and find out 2 minutes later that you could have have it for free. I have 2 options - I can discontinue the USD 5 tier or try to stop the sharing - I find this way the best solution. If you have any other solution - please let me know

Maybe it doesn't work - but at least I have given it a try. As far as I know - many games send the game as direct post - so no drama here :cool:

You should be grateful to Bob for warning everyone. He could have done it without warning you. And report the person who's passing the game on. That way the person would be banned from Patreon and would never have been able to support a game again. I think it's very fair, although now it's gonna be harder for Bob to catch anybody.

In truth this isn't the first time Bob has taken this tack. I guess getting a perma-ban is a viable option but not sure it is worth the effort. I have admit Bob seems to have gotten over his initial anger at the leaking of his work which is a good thing. Hacking will so I think like other games he should live it and turn that energy to making the improvements to the game that have been referenced before. Like the translation and maybe tweaking the story line a little. For me the last update was fine and had the right amount of grind which was easy to follow the logic. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Walkthrough not a day, week 2 sunday 12 at 2pm, it says you have to go in the living room to offer the panties. Even if we follow the schedule to the letter, she is not there, she is not in her room

Also pretty much warns everyone right at start of game about the linking and sharing

If you use the WT from the official site, you will do it without problems.

Just putting this out there. If someone leaks the game, CeLaVie Group will instantly drop whatever it is they're doing then hunt, hunt, and hunt the leaker down and insta-ban them from Patreon. Next, they'll complain about it here and on Patreon and come up with some kind of punishment for all Patrons to suffer as a result of 1 leaker.
So, if someone does leak the game, uploaders have to be alerted instantly and ppl need to mirror it ASAP. And to protect the "leaker", ALWAYS use an account here that is NOT in any way similar or tied to ANY Patreon account. Or even better, just contact a mod/uploader through a conversation to keep the share private and the source won't be revealed.

I just got a belly laugh out of...
1. MC sees Liza sleeping on couch
2. MC rolls naked Liza over on to her back
3. MC spreads apart sleeping naked Liza's legs
4. MC sticks his finger down to the last knuckle into sleeping naked Liza's pussy
5. MC says to self "Better not disturb her"

Some of you - relax :) Only thing I ask for - don't share the game - the first 1 to 2 weeks after Bronze release - as it will make it easier for me to support both my Patreon's and you guys. As I previous wrote - if it's not leaked I'll make a public release soon after with some common support.

Ahh here we go again with the threats, this time against your own patrons. Seriously, I really thought you had learned by now that you only hurt your reputation (and by extension you purse) when you try to put the screws on pirates.

Just be cool and let it happen. Look at all the games on this site. They all get leaked, and the most successful ones are often the ones where he creator actively participates in this community, leaking be damned.

Most people only support a creator when they think that he deserves it, when he creates his game out of passion, not just as a means to milk it for the maximum amount of money. Putting those kind of restrictions out there makes you look greedy. People will take notice.

If you don't know it yet, take a look at the thread of Darth Smut's Death Star Trainer. It's a nice read and shows why you really don't want to go down the same road.
