Patreon, Downloads, and Projects (Patreon)

Happy Friday. I hope your weekend goes well and good. There's a few things I need to bring up, though none of it really pertains to The Apothecary content.

If you haven't heard, Patreon is changing certain policies which make it a little more difficult for developers of adult VNs and other media to post their content on Patreon. This mainly seems to target actual images/videos, and it doesn't matter if it is behind the wall of becoming a patron.

Along with this may be direct downloads of adult content from Patreon itself -- basically making it tricky to post download links for games in posts or front pages of Patreon creator pages.

While all of this is still up in the air, and there are other changes coming from a developer standpoint, I wanted to get a jump on this just in case. That's why images previously with possible NSFW content were removed in favor of a base image I grabbed from Google. If it comes down to finding alternative ways to provide download links, I will make a post on here and on Discord to get everyone's input on how that is best done and go from there.

Lastly, as 0.3.1 is finishing up alpha testing and about to jump to beta testing (expect download links to appear in about 8 hours or so), I've been putting together a small side project to work on when I'm in 'idle' mode with The Apothecary. I'll post it when the demo is done.
