Been so long I can't remember anything from it, but Patreon is fucked up how they are so arbitrary deciding "yeah, in this case childhood friend means incest, but in the hundreds of others it and landlady don't."

There are some refugees on "boosty.to", but I think they also subscribe by credit card, I'm not sure

I heard some pretty nasty things about boosty.to, so I'm a bit afraid of setting foot there.There are some refugees on "boosty.to", but I think they also subscribe by credit card, I'm not sure

Why not make your own site, call it Naughty Bits, that is basically Patreon for Adults Only but only accepts BitCoin payments. No more tyranny of credit card processors and incestivus for the rest of us!

They have Google, I guess.
If you search "Summer Scent game", 2nd and 3rd results are your Itch.io page.
They know unless they are a bunch of goddamn retards, of course.

Crypto can be hurdle to get into, not to mention a financial risk. And the biggest drawback: people aren't horny for long enough to set that all up for a naughty game creator!

majority of people wouldn't even know where to start with crypto payments... not really a viable option
Crypto is a scary thing for most people out there. Especially when you heard every day about a new crypto rug pull and what not.
Also, it's a lot of work. Some time I'd rather invest into the game.
I hope they will find me, but Subscribe Star isn't the most trust inspiring platform.

You can sell the game on GOG games and the Affect3d store too, I think. Nutaku as well.
The latter 2 are adult market places. The former allow NSFW games too, Being A Dik is on there. Man of the House and others are on Nutaku.
Not sure how we'll this would do on Affect3d, since it's mostly for selling render packs & comics, but they do have a game section.

The Naughty Captain you can always try what a lot of developers have been doing latterly, sign back up under another name. Don't have your game there, have it offsite or something to that effect. Some games have Patreon but you can't get the game there.
Gog is definitely on my list.
But my priority is Steam.
Anything else, we'll see about later.
I thought about that.
If not on Patreon, on another mainstream platform, like Ko Fi.
But then how would I publish the game? I don't see myself taking money from my subscribers without giving them anything in return.

A Supporter-only section on Discord. Put the links in there.
Pretty sure Patreon gives you your subs email too, right? Could just email it to them too. Lust & Passion (A Wife and Mother developer), for example, does that.

Not really. Patreon has ditched some devs because of games you can easily buy on Steam. But it's not easy to get listed on Steam.

Just avoid anything underage, including high schools, and you should be fine on Steam.

Seriously: Why not?
I mean, many subscribers are probably also members here and therefore are getting the game for free at some point (one way or another) anyway.
I think the majority of subscribers / patreons are doing it to support the devs and not necessarily to get the game a bit sooner, although that is probably a bonus for them.
There should be, and usually is, a bonus for subscribers - if not getting it early, often some input into the direction of the game, etc. Or name up in credits quite often.

Mailing list with the corresponding link would be a possible solution.

Sure but some people pay like $20 a month (that's $240 a year and $1200 over a total 5-year development time, which is not unreasonable). That's a lot of money for a custom wallpaper, an honorary mention, early access or literally anything else.
Nobody would pay even close to $1200 for a AAA game including all possible DLC's and whatnot.
The only real reason why they do pay that kind of money is that they think that the dev needs it and uses it to make something they like.

Well, even $5/month would be a lot for that (though the getting a mention in a AAA game isn't going to happen unless you are actually part of developing it. Well, maybe if you help fund it, but it would be well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars at least for that. You'd get more than that for sure if it was successful though in that case - it would be an investment there.)
