From the Discord:
The SQ Cruise Ship patreon page has been shut down by Patreon for infringing the Guidelines regarding 18+ content on the page.

This is totally outrageous and not fair at all. I'm sure I'm complying with all the guidelines and so, I have already appealed. I hope they review my case and I can recover my page as soon as possible.

Pareon page is not coming back.
Upon reviewing your page, we’ve found pornographic content. After a deeper investigation, we’ve also found out that the game that is at the core of your campaign contains the same type of content. Pornographic content is not allowed on Patreon therefore we could not maintain your page.
Anyway, I'll be contacting all patrons and spending some time looking for an alternative.

Hell they allow games that might as well be pedophilia on patreon so their reasoning makes no sense.

Such as Kidnapped man by LISAD, which is graphically pedophilia (despite what the in-game text says) as the MC is clearly shota. That game still has an active Patreon page.

Or Sistersitting, But they "patched" that one up so it's no longer "Underage"

Already did so. I've been chatting with the two devs on Discord.
Yeah, thanks for that. I've been setting up SubscribeStar today and am waiting for confirmation and review. Should be up tomorrow. I'll make sure to announce it. Oh, and it's still just me doing the game, although I'm receiving lots of help with setting the game online and coding from this amazing guy on Discord! He's going into the credits for sure.

Patreon's decision is really stupid in my opinion, they are treating my game as if I was making and selling pornography, without taking into account the whole "game" part. Also, they are apparently not applying their own guidelines, since this is clearly a piece of fiction. Of course there's way more twisted stuff in Patreon, although I didn't want to use that argument when I appealed the decision, since I don't want to ruin anybody else's page in the process.

I'm still working on the game and ready to give the benefits I didn't have the chance to give to my patrons. I read you all and am fixing the bugs.

Anyone have the early docking demo to post?
=)
Also, please don't do this. I have Early & Bonus Content available only for people that support my work. Once I have a platform again, it'll be available if you want to join.

Good to read your post. I was a little worried when I read about the patreon-ban-thingy. Not the first strange thing I read about them. I will definitely consider joining subscribestar.

What keeps me from supporting you with $ is the lack of a player option to turn off the damned annoying phone (and the NTR shoved down players' throats that has almost nothing to do with the ongoing events aboard the ship). What makes it especially bad in your game is that the MC turned off the phone and somehow is still being interuppted with messages (we never see him turn it back on). He should have thrown the damned thing overboard.

I love your game and I think it's quite fun. But NTR is a huge turn-off for me. Most games that include NTR allow players to choose whether they want that kink or not. The best games allow players to select which fetishes they want to see and which they don't. Please add an option to disable NTR content and I'll cheerfully and immediately become a paying supporter of this game.

Hi there! This is Tiplick here!

The SQ Cruise Ship is back on SubscribeStar! —>

Here I’ll be able to be much more explicit with the content I post on the site, feeling free to share images of the game without infringing any guidelines. This is definitely the right place for us!

Of course, I’m still working on the pending benefits from the Patreon page, and will be uploading them within the next two days. That'll be, depending on your tier:

- An informative post about the 0.5's progress (we're past 50%!!).
- A new poll (probably will also repeat the last one so we have the results on the new page).
- A "0.4.7 fixed" version, with most bugs fixed and compatible saves implemented.
- Platinum passengers - update on your characters being introduced into the 0.5.

The release dates of the 0.5 sneak-peek and official 0.5 update will be revealed in the informative post. The Early & Bonus Content promotion will be up again the 1st of October. If any of you just subscribed to a 10$+ tier in Patreon but didn't have the chance to download this bonus content yet, subscribe and write me a message. I’ll be more than glad to give you your benefit.

Thanks a lot for hanging in there and for your support. I’ll be waiting for you on SubscribeStar! :)

I understand that and kind of feel the same way about the SMSs. The only thing that's preventing me from making that part optional is the lack of another option that can replace it. It could be some other more feminizing and bimboizing path, using the phone for quests and other kind of stuff instead of forced cuckold content. But, here's the thing: I have planned a complete change for the whole introduction (before getting into the ship). That way I could set the characters in a better way and also enable other paths for those relationships (GF, GF's friend, Friend). Once that's implemented, making several paths for the cuckold content will be only natural. For now, it's forced, even if you say you don't agree with the GF. Once another route is enabled, the player will have the chance to ignore her.

This introduction change will happen after the next 0.5. Probably in between the 0.5 and 0.6. Could be 0.5.5 or 0.5.6.

I will also take advantage of this message and state that there's going to be a more "rebellious" route in the future. It's in the plans, but not for now. The game is in a process of expansion and the main story needs to advance, new features need to be implemented, new areas, new characters, etc... Also, saves will be compatible between versions for next updates, and online version need some time (this platform change has slowed me down), but should be available when the 0.5 comes out, if not a few days after.
