I think Sin didn't hear back until like 8-9pstWell, I've now removed any mention of daughter or students, just in case. So now I've just got: "Teacher's Pets is an adult game. You play as a teacher starting out at a new school. There are many characters to interact with at the moment, each with her own unique and identifiable personality. "
Which is sure to intrigue potential customers.
Still no contact from Patreon, I sent them another email about an hour ago. Apparently they're open 3 more hours today.
How about Steam early accessyou can still promote your game uncensored on f95 deems:FeelsGoodMan:
There's a lot of games on Patreon that violating their so called community guidelines but they didn't take some action for that like what they did to your page. My point is, if they really want to implement that community guidelines they must be fair enough.Except the most popular games on Patreon are at least as questionable (regarding the community guidelines) as mine and they've either not been taken down or were quickly back up. I have no problem making further changes but I haven't received any further contact from them at all.
Ha, making something Steam-appropriate is certainly something I've been considering for my next project (with adult patch available, of course). VNs really seem to be taking off on Steam. I'd have to patch out a hell of a lot get TP on Steam. Besides, VNs don't really lend themselves to the early access model. As much bitching as you hear about an incomplete product with Patreon games (where it's largely expected) I imagine if you tried to release a VN in the state my game is currently in you'd quickly be reviewed and refunded into oblivion (assuming people actually found and played it).How about Steam early access
Steam is a toxic place. And believe me Valve is even more zealot than Patreon ever will be. Don't go there.Ha, making something Steam-appropriate is certainly something I've been considering for my next project (with adult patch available, of course).

seeing other devs geting their page back i am pretty sure you will get yours back as well.So I'm fairly certain that the person charged with monitoring my page never received any of my emails nor checked to see whether I made any changes. Because I have my "irredeemable" email account, the one I use for TP stuff, forwarded to my personal Gmail (and had no reason to bother setting up SMTP for it yet) rather than reply directly to her email I emailed the address they tell you to contact on your suspended page (guidelines@patreon.com).
Well shortly before 6 pacific time I received this:
Hello again,
I am following up from the message I sent yesterday.
Please take the weekend to make the necessary changes.
I am away for the weekend, but I will check on your page on Mondaymorning. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach out to me.
Which seems to indicate that she was completely unaware that I had sent multiple emails or that I had made updates to my page. So, yeh. I guess that makes me feel a little better? Or worse, I don't know.
