Incest is the issue. Tomoe being MC's mom and Sheila being his step sister is the problem.
Xomatsu, working on the game, said "once this gets fixed, the update will be just about ready
. He cannot do much until this is complete. That means entire game has to be skimmed for anything Patreon deems wrong"
Patreon rules are clear about incest, it's a no-go when directly linked to the account. Same goes for several other . . . lets call em, fetishes.
Normally thought Patreon put account in “under review” if it's violating their rules till the owner has corrected it. With Irphaeus account still active it smells more than just a little bit fishy. I understand that people react the way they do.
From a note about Patrons GOALS, he is looking for at least 2600 patrons (currently it has 1500+) until he will hire a 2nd programmer. It could be possible that he is doing most of the work but waiting for 1000+ just to hire another programmer even when your update releases are so inconsistent, clearly shows the misplaced-priority. I doubt he will ever finish the game.
As for his 2500 Patreons till he hire a second programmer . . . WTH has the amount of Patreons to do with that. If at all it should be the amount of money he earns. That's ridiculous.
A real shame what he does with his Patreons. Truely enjoyed the game when it came out, but now . . . . . to much bad blood. He should come straight with what's the issue and either solve it or be done with it and move on.
