Shut down on patreon. I understand that: their site - their rules. But noone take away your game. Just need another way to fund it.
I don't know anything about rules on subscribestar so i can't say anything.
But your own site! Ok people can get together in a crowd and report. Pfff who cares. It's your site - just use another domain.
If you sure that wasn't subscribers than i guess stay with them to fund art for this projects.
For example the game Light Of My Life(that i really love for it's plot). Many people think that girls are ugly. Hah! Moderators even had to set a warning.
I don't know how much patreons you had when all that happens but i think that you can recreate all ideas that you have. Like rebrend for patreon or using another platform. I think previous patreons will find you again by you style. Of course if you still want it.
By the way i've found some rumors when patreon closed their site for many adult-creators that somebody(Was it MrDots?) want to create a platform without such strict rules ;). I don't know is that idea still alive or not.
I don't think you understand, or I'm not explaining it very well, so I'll break it down again. Anything like Patreon / Subscribestar (even this thing you are talking about with MrDots?) will have a report system. Payment processors will then put pressure on whatever platform to shut down any material they don't like. My own domain again would require some sort of payment processing like paypal and so the reports can go through that way. I've thought about this a lot and I'm telling you, due to the actions of some spiteful individuals here, UD can no longer be funded.

You are right. We don't understand each other so it's useless.
The main reason to close Urban Demons is mass report on your Patreon.
Why? Who? Why not to use other platform? That's doesn't matter. If somebody want to understand it read previous posts by author.
Thank you NergalsNest for answers. Even if the game abandoned you still answer to us. Good luck with other projects and stay safe))

Fucking Payment Processors man... the only option you would have would be to reach out to Dick Masterson and his newproject2. That seems to be where people who are basically persona non grata with current places like Patreon and such.

No problem. Hopefully most other people will be able to understand my point I am making. Thanks, take care.

People mass reported your patreon and got it shut down because you were taking money and not delivering anything. The fact that you're no longer taking money and still aren't delivering anything means that nothing has changed except you're no longer profiting from nothing. You spent years dithering and saying "yeah, I'm working on it, I'll work on it in the future, don't worry guys" and what happened? Very little. So yeah, can hardly blame people for deciding to take some action.

It was Urban X life all over again.

Apart from the fact the Patreon was paused for the majority of the time delivery wasn't happening. Also saying nothing was happening is being disingenuous at best. You think Urban Demons got to where it is the moment by nothing happening for the years it's been active? I swear people have been warped by the lies and maliciousness that people have posted here. It's actually quite concerning how toxic some members of this community can be because some deadlines were missed for genuine reasons. It's almost like people forget it's actually human beings that make their favourite games.

People don't like to be told one thing and have another occur. They especially don't like it happening over and over. Other devs are able to put out content regularly or at least provide a decent excuse when they can't instead of months of silence. I've been watching the game since very early on, but it was quite clear as time progressed that your heart wasn't in it. You should have just been honest that you were giving up instead of continually offering false hope and broken promises. Now you can't do that and it upsets you. Well, as far as I'm concerned good.

Basing someone's ability on another's ability is completely ridiculous. Some devs are doing this as full time jobs, others are doing it with full teams behind them. You should stop making assumptions about people, you don't know me. "This heart wasn't in it" thing had very little to do with UD and very much to do with where I was mentally at the time. I've always said I will agree my communication for that time was not great and it could have been handled so much better. The only thing that upsets me is people pretending like they know a damn thing, when they obviously don't. Case and point.

In conclusion Mr Nergal.

My honest and humble opinion on Urban Demons: maybe take this suggestion in the air and feel free to grab it *do what Oseo Bones is doing by making the game in a clandestine way*.

He even have several discord servers so users can interact and talk about an specific game *which is allowed on patreon/subscriberstar and which games are not allowed by these platforms*.

Everyone happy tbh, but once again the choice is up to you and even if would be nice to have some official game updates from the non-mod versions A.K.A vanilla version. I guess even after you are 100% with the other games you possibly maybe want to finish up UD since its a promising game and im sure you can work around a solution for not Directly adressing to your patreons and subscriberstars that you are in the works of such game so everyone is happy.

Whatever method you can think of, it's unlikely to be realistic. I wouldn't be happy having to work on another game for the sake of updating UD. And there's no way I'd know which of the two games was more popular, which one people are pledging for and where I should focus my effort. And there's still no guarantee it wouldn't end up being blocked. I consider Subscribestar only temporary, eventually they will be forced to adhere to the same rules as patreon by payment providers, even if they don't have paypal.

Well breaks my heart to say you are quite right and at the end is what your audience which is pledging wants ;(

Even tho UD seems to have good storyline, plot twists at the endings, and paths to choose while progressing in the game which are really fitting and promising. Guess at the end i cant say how many people do LOVE this game since i starting following it on the creation date of this account in F95Zone ;P.

Not much to do about it so whenever the time comes to have UD updates. Let it be the right time *even if takes 2 & 3 years*, but if there's a slight chance that either the people supporting you via patreon or SS even decide to constantly asking you on discord or via other way about UD updates maybe i hope you get that sparkle of be back to deliver a finished version of this game.

Good luck, Stay safe and thanks for your answer :3

Hello there. I just wanted to pay my respects to NergalsNest . He was one of the devs that made me want to give it a try with this whole porn-game-making stuff.

I'm not gonna talk about "what's going on" because sadly I'm not up to date with the current developments and i don't want to speak from ignorance. But I'm going to say this:
Even if I love this forum (It was the first place where I uploaded my games) and even if I got to know a lot of precious people, there's no denying that there is a large portion of folks that would prefer to ruin a man's whole career by mass reporting him, ill-criticizing, name-calling and just being plane "meanies", when there's something they don't like (Even if it would be easy to simply ignoring him and go support other devs).

There is a bad (and sad) side to the whole porn game community (that also goes outside the boundaries of this forum). A mentality that, when something isn't ready by their own time and specifications (or unjust comparisons with other (bigger) dev teams' work) then everything about the game and the game's dev s wrong. I call it a "crack-head" mentality. Everything is fine and good as long as they got their "fix", but when there is a time when they got to wait for it, they prefer to go kill their dealer... Well, maybe this whole allegory is a little far fetched. But I think you guys get my drift (if you get my drift)

I was also reported by some angry fans. Had to take my game outta Patreon. But I think I made it work in the end... (for now).

Regardless... I think I only wanted to say: Nergal, you will always have a place in my heart...

(#nohomo)

PS: and if some of you want to start talking shit about me after this post... remember, "stick and stones may brake my bones, but..." wait... Now that I think about it, stick and stones are really bad for me.

Same thing happened with Nyphomania Priestess recently, some puritan went on a spam free till staff removed the game. This forum can suck dick a lot of times especially when users feel like they need to be catered to for every content.

That's the point of the saying, sticks and stones bad, words not so much. But I'm pretty sure that phrase is considered hatespeech in 2020.

Misguided opinion is more like it. UD is still getting a final update, I meant it's not coming back as a project. If you want to know why, maybe ask a few members here why they thought it would be a good idea to mass report the patreon to stop it being possible as a project. You talk about greed / profit, but you don't seem to grasp how projects actually work? Art costs money, and people fapping to my projects won't keep them going either. I hope that clears things up.
Not really misguided When you really should treat people who supported you on Urban Demons with a lil more respect & courteously & I do know how projects work I been working on mine for some time now. I know art costs money so does encoding storylines & working with the tools on RPG Maker. Your patreon was also held up for months to a year before you became wild swing for whatever reason is none of my business to get into. Not all people are bad some like to mass report because they are trolls & they do not like to see progress. I'm just a fan of Urban Demon's Your work not attacking you in any way if my posts may seem like it. However, you should have really said yes UD is getting a final update instead of not working on UD in your reply to another person on patreon. I don't make a habit of going off on people but when I need to say something I say it despite the consequences & it does not matter if you agree with me or not I made my point & my peace & I will not be giving any more replies or posts on your UD page.

Hey! Thanks for that. I really appreciate hearing that I inspired you to create something awesome! (I'm assuming it's awesome, I haven't actually played yet. In fact I wasn't aware of it until you were just tagged in it! But it looks really cool, and I want to give it a try!)

I think you definitely hit the nail on the head in terms of the (minor, but very loud part) of the community as a whole. And I think the whole "crack-head" analogy can be quite apt actually, for some people specifically.

I'm sorry to hear you went through something similar, it's such a shame they have such a group can ruin it for the majority of people who just enjoy the game and want to see it do well!

All the best to you, and take care!

Lets not forget that devs like nergal, icstor, gumdrop & mrzz are the main reason why the erotic game scene is such a mess.

However nice that other people working still on this game.

1) We don't talk about me here
2) Don't be mean to Nergal
3) CrimsonINC made that scene not me
4) BelmontKing12 and BisonBison made the original Mom portion of that scene, not me

Man people be so tilted, if the game is abandoned, nothing anyone will say can change that. My only regrets are the bugs and that's it, but still the game was so good I forgive most of it's flaws. It helps that I didn't pay for it, I can understand some people being miffed, but there is a limit.

Please tell me you're making that up, even if for no reason more than people losing their shit over a goddamn porn game. Not a fan of the content of it myself so I don't pay attention to it. Its a sad day when people get into a tizzy over smut.
