Content

I recently got contacted by Patreon's Trust and Safety team regarding my content not meeting Patreon's Community Guidelines. To be honest I'd been half expecting this to happen at some point, and of course I understand Patreon have to protect themselves too. Which means I've been forced to make some changes. The good news is that we won't be shut down - as long the the rules are adhered to. What's been changed: - Games which don't meet Patreon's guidelines and all references to the games have been removed from Patreon. (You can access the old games still from my itch.io page)- Together Again has been slightly modified. I updated version 0.2.3b - you can view the changelog here in the description: https://www.patreon.com/posts/40623785- Games which didn't meet Patreon's rules have also been removed from Newgrounds. (I decided to do this so I can still keep Patreon linked to Newgrounds, and focus on future projects.) It's a bit of a hassle but better than being suspended. And the good thing is that development Together Again will be going on pretty much the same as usual.  If you have any questions please feel free to comment below or PM me.  Thank you all!

It sucks that Patreon won’t get off your back, but it’s nice to hear u won’t get shut down. I am really enjoying Together Again, and so I’m glad to hear u will still be working on it. Keep up the wonderful work! -K

Ok I understand ;w;

Ladripper

What did patreon not like about your content? I don't want to read through all of that legal jargon, so if anyone could give me a short summary, that'd be absolutely great

Well, you might have to consider going to subscribestar if Patreon becomes too oppressive.

pinky6225

What do we search for on itch.io to find you? tried Pink Tea but can't see any of your games

Rodimus Prime

That sucks! Do you think you'll finish an unedited version of the whole game on your other site or is that too much of a hassle?

Blac

Does that mean you won't work on games with a setting like SLOG or EC anymore?

Adrian Ling

I completely understand that situation is clearly not fun but i can't overlook the point that somebody on patreon team has to play all this games to verify violation of their guidelines. I just hope they enjoy their time)

Dan D

I can't help but notice the timing of this news and wonder about its validity.

Tyler Rogers

Will we still be able to get the non "censored" versions?

Waahnubis

Do you have a Subscribestar page? I gladly move over (as I have done with many other Creators already). Patreon more one more starts playing „morale police“ - so I would just leave them if possible.

Gavin McClintock

Hopefully we can still get the normal version in some shape, maybe if you stuck it in as an option vs a baseline feature- easter egg menu style

mark

Really hope you can find some way to do your true vision. Maybe at the end release it on your io page either way you have my support

Dubsington

Can someone share the relevant bit of the changelog for those of us in the lower tiers? I'd like to see what's going to change.

Collar Spider

I know fanbox is a good alternative, do you have a twitter that we can follow in case you abruptly get shut down one and we can't find you

DemonicWolf Cub

Will u be making 2 versions one with pantheon guidelines and one how it was originally intended?

Joe

What if you made the games behind a paywall on itch.io? Or at least the games that still have the mind break aspect to their story.

Queen Of Darkness

Also can I ask why you removed your previous works from newgrounds? Are you having the same problem there too?

Alexis

I get it, it sucks but I get it. At least they gave you the opportunity to fix the issues and didn't just deplatform you. Other platforms don't have the same user trust and ease as Patreon so definitely the best decision to follow their rules.

flutteryyh

I never have the heart to force my way on the girls and never choose the rough way, so it's fine by me. But Patreon shouldn't criticize those scenes from the moral high ground IMO. I mean, who would use patreon if there is no adult content on it.

Groeft

It is sad to hear that you have to self censor your works, but I get it. Hope everything will work out for you.

Greyback

While I understand that some guidelines and rules should be in place, but it's getting out of hand. One user here mentioned a "moral panic" I guess this is what's going on here ... ART should not be restricted. period.

Blooper

I'm sorry to hear they're giving you a hard time, but I'm glad you're taking it well. It's their platform and all, so although it's annoying I can understand their position. Hope they made their guidelines clear enough that they won't get on your case again at least.

Gürkli

How is this going to affect your future projects? Since i am pretty Sure the stuff patreon does not like is the stuff i support you for. Slave Lord was what made me do it and is to this day my favorite game of yours. Could you Split some of your work from your patreon just pro forma? Id hate to never get to experimence the pink tea flavor of debaucher again.

DDK

A shame patreon even censors your earlier works on Newgrounds like that. Atleast you can continue going I guess. Kinda funny thinking they had to play through the game to give such detailed feedback.

Aaron C

Is there any way to still view the now removed content? Will you maybe upload different builds with that content on other sites? Love your stuff, I'll keep supporting you regardless, but if you move over to subscribestar and get to restore all the removed stuff I'd certainly move over there instead.

Blue Saber

Big sad. I really enjoy the content you create. glad it can continue.

trainboy2019

I thought this was an April fools thing at first, man patreon can be a pain sometimes. Hope you find a way to release uncensored versions

KA

I just started supporting you but looks like I have to cancel since I dont support censoring. If you move to a better platform please tell me.

WeeG

I'm not sure how allowed it would be but would it not be possible to put your previous games on mega and then distribute them via the discord?

Saigon

I canceled my pledge some time ago since the current project is not my cup of (pink)tea but i had hoped your next game would be more to my liking. It seems chances of that happening are slim to none with rampant Patreon censorship. Funny how Steam which is a much bigger and mainstream platform allows even translated, uncensored(through patches) japanese h-games with straight up rape but Patreon wants to be holier-than-thou.
