Let's get things out of the way first: Thanks for the positive feedback on the first ending. I will try and make the other endings as big as that one as well. Also, thank you so much for your bug reports. Helped me a lot and I think the current version has no more bugs.

For the next ending, my dear Kinksters, please scroll down to the vote, where it is currently a very close race between Mary, Dr. Horney and Nikki. This is a dynamic vote and you can change it whenever you like. Maybe you want to make sure your favourite wins ;)

Alright, let us talk about the Patreon Fees!

I am not only a creator, but a patron to other creators myself, and I am as upset as you are. Especially lower tier supporters are facing a huge increase of their fees. Normally, if you would pledge 1$ to me, I get .85 Cents. Now they say I get .95 Cents, but Supporters have to pledge 1.38$ instead of one. Which is just stupid.

I am doing what I can to make patreon.com return to the old model. By posting on reddit, sending emails to the support and making threads in the creators forum. And by the way, I am not the only one. Almost every patreon creator is fighting against this change as well (and the ones who think it's good are at least so smart to keep their mouth shut).

I should have adressed this earlier, but when I'm close to finishing an episode, I focus all the attention and energy on getting it done...and I think it's in your interest as well so that you all get the Abusem Ending during december.

I have thought a lot of what I can do to help supporters on a budget, and I've decided that I will (kind of) pay the fee for the lowest tier myself, charging only 1.5$ instead of 2$. I admit that I do not only do that for you, but for me as well. I thought we would hit the 400 supporters mark before 2018...400 kinky people like myself in a 3/4 year with absolute fetish niche games! But since the change in fees I've lost about 40 patreons, with people even messaging me that they stop pledging to send a message to patreon.

And I totally get your point, I understand it. But for those who can't afford to pay more, for those who have very little money and still use that little amount to pledge to small creators here on patreon.com...for you guys I will happily pay this fucking fee!

Argh...getting angry and emotional again. I know that these 1.5$ is more a statement than a real help...and I don't want to play Saint Martin here after I just upped the prices this month...just wanted to let you know that I'm as unhappy about the change in fees as you are. As a creator and as a supporter myself.

Alright, enough unstructured rambling about patreon. In the next days a Kinkster talk is coming up about 'Captured by Dark Elves'. What fetishes would you like to see, what do you want to be able to do...that kind of stuff. I will also let you know what my general idea for this game is...and maybe show you some of the artwork, not sure yet. What? Reveal a character? Mmh...

That's it guys, thanks for your support!

- Stay kinky!

It looks like Mary has a small lead right now, so if that doesn't change until later this evening, her ending will be next

Hi Darktoz! Would you also upload a safed game files that has the progress right before the start of the new DLC? I accidentally deleted the safed games and I don't want to start from the day one again

Darktoz

I know that sounds weird, but I don't have any savegames. At least no one that you could use. I am playtesting the game in the gameengine...so my savegames would be unusable for you. So unless one of the other patrons has a savegame that I can upload, then I unfortunetly you have to play it again...

Darktoz

Thanks, but she's always so sarcastic...not sure she deserves more scenes :)

Ugh, boy. If you pledge 10 people $1 or 1 person $10, Patreon uses the same number of transactions to take it from your account (one). Under the old system, Patreon charged a fee once after lumping all of your pledges together. I wouldn't really have a problem switching this fee to the patron. Them also making the change to charge per pledge just smells like Patreon trying to justify a change that benefits itself above all else.

Darktoz

Yes, that's about it. I have never heard or seen a creator whining about the fees before, except the one that they are quoting in their news post (he complains that he earns 11k, and has to pay 1k of patreon fees...that jerk). It also just doesn't feel right. If I want to support a creator with 2$, I want to pledge 2$, not 2.38$.

Bootsfetish

Oh and I think that your system of affinity is good. To reuse imo.

Darktoz

sorry Guigui, had to delete the post because I can't let you link to pornsites on public posts. But I get what you mean and I will definetly keep the affection system. But I think I will give it a better graphic :)

While I appreciate the gesture, when pledging money on this site, I'm not just pledging it to you, I'm also giving part of it to Patreon. All they're doing is trying to earn more, by making things less transparant. I for one refuse to give ANY money to a company that uses business practices like this. Maybe find an alternative to patreon? Because this is/was my last month of spending any money on this site.

Darktoz

There currently is no alternative...and trust me, I've already checked it. Maybe in the future there will be something, because a lot of people are unhappy and usually that is the point where an alternative shows up. However, the ideal solution would be if patreon finally admits that they made a mistake and return to their old model...

Darktoz

I know that side, and there is a big downside: They don't accept Paypal. There is a reason this site is still quite unpopular ;)

Nice Burn

Is there a possibility of buying your games - i'd definitely do it.

Darktoz

Currently not, because the only game I would consider selling is 'The Asylum'. But that one isn't finished. Some supporters only pledge once and then leave...you could say that is a form of buying ;)
