Hello, everyone!

Today I discovered that the patron version has been leaked to the public. Of course, I wrote a huge number of complaints, communicated with administrators, etc., but it did not bear any fruit. My thread on F95 was updated to the current version, given that I did not ask to do it at all! This is only half of the problem. After the thread was updated, I immediately replaced all the links and fixed everything. An hour later I went to F95 and saw that my access to edit, stats and thread management on that site had been revoked and now it had a bot moderator. So it's totally fucked up. All my complaints are ignored and in addition to that, my only ability to control my thread is being taken away from me. 

You yourself understand that this is practically the largest site for games of this genre (if not the most) and from there goes a large number of interested in my game. that's why I'm so outraged. 

And I also feel bad that I fucked up in front of you - my patrons. 

I don't know what to do. I'm terribly frustrated and depressed because I'm taking it all too personally.

It's not really unheard of. F95 is a pirating site at the end of the day, so as unfortunate as it is, and it really is, it should be expected to happen eventually. The only games where this doesn't happen, tend to be games where the Patreon demo is locked behind an expensive teir. Take Revamped Bloodline as an example. Unlocking the demo 2 weeks early for that game is super expensive, so naturally only hardcore fans support those teirs, and due to their hardcore nature they're too loyal to post them online.

I say focusing on something productive is key here. Channel this anger and frustration into your game and show them the middle finger. Good games will always get attention/coverage and good word of mouth. Stay positive and stick with your luck. Pun intended.

As much as it sucks getting leaked, every game I have ever supported on patreon I tried on f95zone first. Getting the game on there can really only help in the long run. If people want to support the game they are going to do it regardless. I support over 20 games on patreon and still download most of them from f95zone because I support so many I cannot do the higher tiers for all of them.

Also some things to think about when thinking about what to offer as patron perks, game builds will usually get leaked once a game reaches a certain level of popularity, CG sets and wallpapers don't tend to be leaked, and 'voting in polls' is a perk that simply *can't* be leaked, the most anyone can do would be to post about how the voting is going, and the most likely result of that would be some people signing up to get to vote.

For what it is worth, I downloaded from F95, really liked it, and subbed for $10/month. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no website that is user and dev friendly? Patreon is so hypocritically prude, and on F95 if you're a dev it seems you have to be very careful about what you say or they take control away. There are other sites like itch.io, but finding my kind of games there is massively frustrating. F95 makes it super easy by searching on the tags. Like others mention above, I also support about 20 devs that I found through F95.

hmm I leanred about this game from lewdzone . I hope your game gains more attantion , I don't see actually any reason why it shouldn't its good story so far so it has to climp up .

No offense, but I don't think even 5 % of the game developers actually bought the Daz3D products they are using. So they are pirating as well and shouldn't be crying about it when they get to be the victim some day. So if the game has potential, many people will support it, even if they played a pirated version first. And on the other hand, honest developers will start to actually buy the Daz3D product, once they get enough support.
