So as some of you may know, summertime saga got their content under review. So I’m thinking about not getting too deep into Sentoryu as originally planned. And when I mean by that is to only work in the hentai stuff and finish the game there. I may not bother too much with the hidden camera system, getting every component of the Cafe yourself, etc.
I’ve seen a few comments about Carl being cucked, but keep in mind the game is not finished. However also keep in mind that so far nothing about the games breaks any of patreons rules on adult stuff. But Carl has sex animations created with with all 4 of the cafe girls(2 for each girl), plus mira(2), holly(2), and jeni(1). We’ll see if Holly and Jeni make it in. I’m thinking about it at the moment. At worst I can use it in a miniflash.
Sentoryu and even the Rookie was something I wanted to market a bit and ideally they both need to not have potential issues. On top of that there is a growing list of other games I need to get to. such as umichan swim game, finish DoE VN, Yui game, 3D arielle, aria rts, and I think I am ready to get back working on the next big Umichan Maiko game project. all kinds of stuff really.
feel free to post thoughts.
Well it definitely sounds like you have your hands completely full. For the Patreon thing, I think you’ll just have to be very coy about how you post your Patreon posts. Maybe for Patreon posts you simply give a link to an external site to show new things like scenes and stuff. The whole Patreon thing is complicated, but I think the best thing is to find ways to play around the system, without inherently breaking the rules.
I’m ok with cutting a bit back in Sentoryu hidden camera system and the cafe components, but I think you should keep Holly and Jeni animations in there.
Good luck with everything.
Linking still violates Patreon’s rules.
What about having something on the website (This Website) where you can see Patreon only content with a password, and the password is only provided through Patreon. That way patrons know where to search for their stuff, and they are the only ones who know how to access it.
I have a patreon section on the site already. I always just link to the patreon section then you need to use your patreon credentials to access it.
thanks I’ll think about it. I’m fine for now though either way.
I think there might have been other patreon games which technically do violate the patreon rules? but they go around it by creating a patch that is provided on a seperate site like lewdpatcher so once you download that patch yourself and put it in the right folder, the games play completely normally and uncensored. However the instructions for the patch and download link arent on patreon but somewhere else (i.e Lewdpatcher) there are like 7-8 patreon games there at the moment, maybe look into that?
games that i know which use this are sisterly lust, as well as Dreams of desire (pretty big and popular) maybe check it out
Thanks I have considered patching in the past but idk. Seems probably worth doing when a game has lots of image scenes. but when it has a lot of sprites, animations, and minigames, it becomes a headache. Probably would only do that if I was forced to tbh.
kinda unrelated but a game with sprites only seems like a pretty good idea
I’ve been following the Summertime Saga team since September and been watching DC’s (DarkCookie) live streams on Picarto. Been a fan of his work from day one and the reason why his content was under review was because apparently some people on stream reported his content which involved incest which in term violated Patreon guidelines. Fortunately, his Patreon page is back up and DC has decided to not put incest into the game anymore. And, to not host any downloads of their game onto the Patreon site until their latest patch is fully completed. So anyways, you better hope that no one snitches onto your site and finds anything involving incest in it. But I doubt it, since the people who reported were apparently envious of Summertime Saga’s popularity and his earnings on Patreon. On the safe side, removing incest out of your games would keep you out from suspicion if anyone decides to report you. But if you do get reported, I wish you the best of luck to keep creating great content but without incest. (Sorry for the long post!)
Many thanks for the update~
patreon smh, oh well
Looking forward for the scenes, didnt think there were going to be that many,
One of the things I’ve seen some other developers do is create a patch to change the wording of who’s who in description and wording for patron. Like for Sentoryu you can make Carl a family friend, Holly’s son David can become a student from overseas (i’m not too creative), etc. Then have a patch on a separate site that has what the characters were originally supposed to be for the fans who wish for it. Just my 2 cents on the matter. Love the work though! I look forward to your future works!!
When will it update here in the site?
Please
hopefully before the month is out.
Patreon has gotten REALLY Anal about Incest themes
So yeah you either need to rework the game’s wording or not bring up the fact its incest in the advertising
I’m about to be done with it as swiftly a possible.
When will be the next patreon update on this game?
yeah i’m way behind on that. hopefully in a day or so.
Is it ready?
