Not directly but they wrote:



My mistake was to publish the working on the new menu post. After seeing that they have clearly looked at all my posts and found some other picture that they didn't like.

I'll be the first to admit that some of the girls in the new menu looked way too young and it was stupid of me to publish this instead of having the artist adjust some of the models first.

Ah, yeah. They do look a bit young. Damn. I'm still sorry that happened. Their assholes for not letting people correct anything.

Tough situation, I don't know what you could do, maybe register the game in another name? Could that work? The problem with Subscribe star is that they block your cards if they suspect you "poach" content and upload it so nearly most of my cards are blocked. It is kind of an ass tyring to use subscribestar.

I don't think another name will help. When they discover that I'm promoting the same game they will take my confiscate my money and kick me out again.

I will try to convince them that part 2 is within their rules and that models has been adjusted. I'm not very optimistic, I think I just need to accept that Patreon is gone at least while I'm working on this game. Perhaps at some point I can start a Patreon site with a new game and without promoting it too much give out THS as a bonus to top tiers?

Anyway, right now I should focus on getting people on Subscribstar. I've heard others also complain about their card policies. Another option is to pay directly to my and have me send them updates, but people will probably trust big platform more than me :unsure:

Did you consider Steam? Desert Stalker has at least 3 characters in the "stepdaughter age". One is Ain. You can see her in my sig. You even can rename their affiliation to the MC.

Since your Story has no High school context, there should not be a Problem I would assume.

yeah DS is not comparable to THS in regards to "being off age based off looks"

That Menu screen shot show a bunch off petite young women,i'm not surprised some patreon MOD or review board flagged it if they saw that image and only that.

Not saying that the following was the intend off Erik but it is pretty obvious that some people try to push content by just labeling under-aged content as off age especially in virtual content.
or use the "3rd party" scapegoat which is most common for "the family affiliation"(incest) content.

if you try to look at things from patreon's side its all a risk/reward estimate and the scales just tipped into to high risk for them.
as cutting off Erik's patreon will probably not hurt patreon but any issue could come with underage content will cost them a lot image wise etc.

now we having played THS obviously we all know that that will not be a issue.
IMO its just the choice off models leaning towards younger & petite women for a part off the cast is the reason this got misinterpreted and flagged by patreon.

i know this sucks for Erik but patreon doing this was just a matter off time...
they may have put forward the reason off "under-aged" for it but it seems that a bunch off the users here who have experienced patreon bans before to have forgotten that "step dad x step daughter" is considered as incest and ban-able under patreon TOS.
which obviously and undeniable is the case in THS. (its even in the VN description :HideThePain: )

i do hope you find a way to continue xxerikxx as i do find THS a good vn and know your content isn't incest/under-aged intended just a few people twisting it into it (point and case the recurring "fan" made incest patch causing issue's & misunderstandings)
maybe do adopt the 3rd party scapegoat for the step-father part to limit risk off being shutdown again.

THS is now exclusively on

66.jpg

When the Higher Society returns with new updates from July 2025, this will be the only subscription platform it will be published on.

Subscribestar will be our main source of income moving forward, that means that your support is more important than ever before. As you hopefully can see I've hired a professional artist to do renders and animations. At the moment that means that the project has more expenses than income. Hopefully that will change when the new version is out.

It's also possible to use paypal to buy a subscription directly from developer:

pass on my thumbs up on to the new art/render dev.
models look close to like they do in part1 + it seems the environments got a slight upgrade.

hard to say for sure but these previews are looking good (y) :BootyTime:

So this means no more updates on the io page? Everything will be thru ss now?

I don't know what io page is, but if you want to support the game and buy a subscription then you need to go to

Oh it's this one. I always assumed it was you. If not I'm sorry I always got the game from here. If it's not you hope you can resolve it.

It's mine, but Itch isn't a subscription site and doesn't bring much income. Maybe I will publish something there, but it's not something that I will prioritize.
