Well, this is an interesting little controversy. Sadly it doesn't surprise me that DS would do this, which I think is part of the problem. We expect DS to have done this - and I believe that he's at least had a hand in this if only attempting to promote it - which says a lot about him as not only a dev, but as a person.
That being said, the best way to get away from any allegations Starlord is to prove by doing. Take advice to heart, even if they seem to be coming from a place of trolling. Don't attack people. Most importantly, put out good content. A tech demo is fine at the moment, but you've got to put out something 'worthwhile'. Some sort of story, something substantial.

Lol, i don't get it.
This guy is making almost 300 bucks on his patreon, for nothing?... I mean, any "developer" with some tricky knowledge, can do this "tech demo" with the open crawl and all this.
doing it is at just a google search away (There are plenty of tutorials).
Don't get me wrong, im not hating.
But GodDamn, people here is talking about scams, and this guy is making good money for literally nothing.
I guess people likes scams. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But this is not surprise. There are some developers who, month after month, get profits from patreon (some of them earning more than 2 thousand, yikes). And it takes up to 3 months to update their games. With only 1 or two events. so... meh.
I do not know, the scenario is disappointing me a little. lol

As they say in my homeland - "I am not 100 bucks to please everyone." Obviously, those people who support me on Patreon like my idea and like what has been done so far. I do not force anyone to come and support me, I make a game for those who want such a game.
Moreover, I can’t understand in any way that you need to smoke in order to give birth to such a logic: if a person makes a game about Star Wars - then this is just a DS and no one, well, that's just nobody, nobody-nobody else! There can be no other person in the world who can also make such a game. Are you think is a nomally?

Long story short, some guy named "DarthSmut" made a SW porn parody game, which looks promising, until its revealed to be a total scam. Dude is infamous for making fake accounts, manipulating likes, deceiving comments and reviews and acts like an asshole. Dude was so toxic, mods banned him from oblivion.
And after that, everyone obviously became so bored that they decided to throw tons of shit on anyone who even mentioned that he was making a game of SW

bruh,
why do i have to pay EXTRA for mods ? and what is special version ? personal addons ? what's that ? DLCs ? no ty.
if i'm for example were a ptreon for 10 months which is equal 50$ i'm sure as fuck entiteld to full experience,instead i get paywalled cut features/content.
that why noone love EA or Activision.
also,aggroing on the community rather than defuse the situtation does not help.
you do exactly what Uncle Smut did. talk big,paywalling everything and them scam&milk patreon. you alredy talk big and paywalling features.

Well, you're choosing to ignore what Sam said at the beginning of the thread. Someone saying that they're making a Star Wars game isn't an instant sign of it being Darth Smut. However, accounts that have been linked to DS in the past suddenly promoting your game out of nowhere, before it's even been widely publicised? That...well, it doesn't make people feel confident, put it that way.
However, let's work on the benefit of the doubt. So far you've said that you just want to show off what you've done, and in fact, don't mind if this thread gets deleted. Don't ask for mods to start deleting posts though. They can, and will, choose when to step in to police this thread by themselves. Attempting to call them down to do so...well, first it won't work, and second, it'll just not look good.
Just go back to working on your game, and don't reply to people who are posting here, unless they're directly asking questions about the game. If in a few updates time - which hopefully won't be too far away - you can provide something beyond a character creator, then the thread will move on, and you'll be distanced further from any allegations. In short, the best way to prove that you're not DS isn't to continually say that you're not, but to put out a decent enough game that people can see you're not him.
I have no idea what accounts are in question.
As for further development, in order to show people an interesting game - I am going to do this. But you understand, I cannot take it and make it at the click of my fingers (I, as it were, not Tanos). It will be necessary to spend some time, for which, I am afraid, the "doubters" will repel everyone who would be interested in the game from this topic. I just lose a significant part of the audience, simply because... Because.
Here is my take, I'm completely unfamiliar with the whole scandal that revolved around DS and people targeting you, but in order to gain their trust screw the whinning both from you and around you, because circlejerking won't stop anytime soon, followed by a compeling mini updates or short teasers that would prove your project is indeed a "game" and not some kind of youtube's browser game ad buzz and definitely scrap SW title, before Disney attempts to pull you to court. These are tiny suggestions, although I would like to be supportive, my take still remains to be neutural until foreseeable version.

Well, then I'd advise you to look at Sam's post on the matter, on the very first page. Here's a link, if you prefer.
No one is expecting you to be able to push out a new update right now. That'd be silly. I am suggesting that you, for the time being at least, ignore this thread and just go back to working on that next update. Considering this is just a character creation, there isn't much for an audience to look at, so don't worry about gathering an audience right now. Worry about that when you have something more substantial to show.
Trust me, if you come back in a month's time, having taken all the criticism to heart, worked hard on the game, and post something significant, with actual gameplay? The allegations will fade away. Your Patreon has been up since early May, and you only released the tech demo - though it's more akin to a character creation demo tbh - two days ago. You're already making $255 a month. I don't think you need to worry too much about expanding your audience right now. Work on expanding your game first.
If at the end of reading all this, you still want to say that it's not fair? Well, sadly all I can say is; tough. Life isn't fair. Besides, this is a piracy site. Blame Darth Smut for his actions in the past. Don't listen to him if he ever tries to tell you that he was doing great things here, and don't join his discord.

You also shouldn't ask for money on patreon without any content whatsoever you know. Gotta present something playable first.
The problem is not that I want money in the absence of a real game. The problem is that they consider me to be a fraud simply because my game is similar (damn, but it even does not look like!) to the game of another person.
I'm not shouting "I made a masterpiece, give me money!", I understand that my demo is nothing yet. But I have nothing against such an opinion. I just don't want to ME doused with mud simply because someone else doesn’t like SOMEONE.

As I said, there's nothing you can do about it other than put out better versions of your game. It isn't that you're both making Star Wars games, it's the other stuff that made people suspect. Any suspicion that you're DS will get forgotten if you come back in a month with a much better example of what you want to show. That is literally the only thing you can do to make people come around on this. Continually saying that you're not him won't do anything. Saying that it's not fair won't do anything.
Putting out a good game will show your potential, and this will be forgotten in time.
