Hello moto,

Patreon informed me at the start of this month that their system had problems so it automatically declined renewing memberships in a lot of cases.

I didn't intend to inform this until I realized that their new Discord system also automatically removed everyone out of my discord server.

So, in case you couldn't renew the membership, please reach out to me on discord (https://discord.gg/D8KxCt6YwK) so I can add you back manually. (In the past, no one was removed from discord after they stopped supporting me like this.)

I'm doing this because I think even if you only support me once, it's very precious to me so I think removing everyone out of my discord server (like Patreon bot is doing right now) is a stupid act.

Off-topic: The scene is in MFF-0.15. I'm still wondering whether I should split MFF at the end of MFF-0.12 (Nana's first night) or at the end of MFF-0.15 (Karen's first night). The first part ends at MFF-0.15 will have both girls' nights. But the game size has already been so heavy at the end of MFF-0.12.

At the moment, I'm trying to release MFF-0.10 as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Have a nice day (or night).

Yeah. Patreon has an odd billing system indeed. I support many creators that I like on Patreon, well over 20 plus creators, but what I find disturbing about Patreon's billing practices, which seem a bit shady, is how their billing system takes more money than it should for memberships. For example: I have signed up for a monthly membership and say it costs $10 per month, which I pay for one of the many creators I support, but if I sign up for any membership late in the month sometimes it charges me full price minus a small prorated amount for the membership. Let's say I sign up on August 25, 2023, then 7 days later I will be billed again by Patreon on September 1, 2023 for another full month, which makes no sense whatsoever because now I have clearly over paid for nearly a month of membership the first time, and then again on the 1st of the month, which means I am paying twice in less than 7 days! If the prorated amount was actually for 7 days of membership according to the membership costs, then I would have no problem with that, but that is NOT the case. Patreon is clearly over-billing people, and they think they can keep doing it!? It's either a broken billing system or a willful scam, or both! I wrote to Patroen about it several times already, and Patreon support always has some vague BS response about it and fails to address it. It's very disappointing to say the least, which is why I only sign up soon after the first of each month to avoid Patreon's shady billing system, which does not seem to help creators or supporters who pay for these memberships when people sign up in the middle of the month or late in the month. Patreon needs to seriously fix their BS shady billing system, because Patreon is clearly taking more money from customers than they should be, when it comes to monthly membership services. If anyone (customer) pays for a membership to support creators on Patreon on any day of the month, that should be the day when the 30 day monthly billing should begin! Instead, Patreon has this odd, shady billing system that bills you twice for the same membership if you signup after the 15th or later of any given month with a minor prorated discount that does not calculate the amount due correctly, which means Patreon customer are paying more than they should be for memberships, unless the customer signs up and pays on the 1st of the month for a membership! That is pretty messed up! I have screenshots and evidence of this to prove it, and it has happened more than once. It makes no sense why a company like Patreon would allow this to be, because it is clearly not right what Patreon is doing. If Patreon fails to fix and correct themselves soon (within the next 60 days) relating to their shady billing practices, I will be filing a formal complaint with the FTC through my attorney. I find Patreon's actions regarding their shady billing practices unlawful and wrong. I have been over billed so many times by Patreon it's ridiculous! So having an alternative method for your supporters is a very good idea for sure. - Cheers! - JB NYC -

Hi. Actually, Patreon was complained about this for years so they decided to enable this kind of billing: you join on date 15th of a month and you will only be charged again on the 15th of the next month. But it was the start of a lot of bugs so I decided to keep the current system until everything is stable.
