Important Update (please read this!) (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Please read the entirety of this post before you comment below. 

I have some bad news to share. Yesterday, I was contacted by the Patreon Trust & Safety team. They had become aware that Long Live the Princess features content that is not allowed as per their Community Guidelines. While they were kind enough to simply email me about it without suspending my account or closing the game's Patreon page, the message was clear: Remove the offending content or get suspended/banned. 

Honestly, I have been prepared for this for quite some time, so it's not a big shock nor a particularly massive challenge. Still, it has some ramifications that I believe it is important that you all are aware of:

1. Within the next day or so, I will remove all download links to the game from the Patreon page. If you still need to download it, do it now. This is a temporary measure to keep my account from being suspended while I work on a more permanent solution.

2. I will start rewriting Evelyn's storyline and will give her an entirely new background. Please keep reading for more information about what this actually means for the game. I expect this rewrite to take about a week or so. 

3. Once the rewrite is done, I will re-upload the game to Patreon with the modified Evelyn. Once this is done, I expect Patreon's Trust & Safety team will be satisfied and move on.

Let's talk about Evelyn for a minute.

You all know what the issue is with her and why Patreon contacted me. This was a long time coming. Anything hinting at sexual relations between family members will have to go, which has enormous consequences for her story since it relies so much on this concept. As a result, I intend to fully rewrite her background, story, and puzzles to explore a different theme that is acceptable within Patreon's guidelines. The central theme with Evelyn is, in my opinion, forbidden sexual attraction. I want to keep this theme even after the rewrite. I also want to make her new incarnation equally as exciting and naughty as she was before, just with a new twist. 

I don't see any reason to change any other content than Evelyn's. 

I have absolutely no interest in doing a name replacement like so many other adult game devs do. The game you download on Patreon will, even after this change, be a full, satisfying story without requiring any shady third-party patches. In fact, I hope it will increase the game's replay value for long-time fans since there will be so much new in Evelyn's story. You have all put your trust in my ability to deliver before. I only ask that you put your faith in me again for this. This isn't a welcome change to the game, but I'm going to make damn sure it's an enjoyable one regardless.

As part of this process, I'm going to become a little more careful in the future. I might delete comments on Patreon and Discord that I think could be harmful to the game's development. Please avoid posting anything here that Patreon might find objectionable. 

If you have any questions about this process, please send me a private message on Discord. I will be happy to alleviate any concerns you might have, to the best of my ability. 

For those subscribing to me at the $10 level and above, I have to apologize for not posting one of my longer posts/articles this month. I was planning to write one yesterday, but then this whole mess got dumped into my lap, which obviously ended up taking all my attention. I will make up for this later. 

I also have to apologize for this getting in the way of the development of version 0.33. That version will have to remain on hold while I rewrite Evelyn's story, for obvious reasons. 

I'm sorry that this happened and will strive to make it as painless as possible. With some luck, you might find yourself enjoying the new version of Evelyn more than the original. One can only hope.
