>Patreon contacted us asking for some changes to our ingame content to better suit their new guidelines (which have to be made for our next release).
>MC will probably be 18+ now
>it will be his step mom and step sister
Literally what's the point to throwing money at this anymore?
Press 'F'
>take the taboo out of taboo relationships
He shoulda just moved over to a separate platform instead of fucking around with content
>all this before the sister update
NO, I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS
That's a lot less changed than I thought. Whatever
>before teacher update
>now it's a completely acceptable relationship between an of-age student and a teacher
See, for a relationship to be interesting in something pornographic, there's got to be some excitement and at this point, it's just some fuckboy getting into very cliche, predictable porn plots
Social taboo was what made any of this bullshit interesting, it's why basically no one takes the Mia Route
Why not just lowkey leak a 'fix' for this shit? I mean thats just fucking dialog.
Those are just my predictions. All it said in the email was that they're changing content. DarkCookie could be removing the entire Mother/Sister/Aunt arcs
With that much money coming in, it probably would have caused an even larger shitstorm among backers.
This is the fifth "Press F for Summer Time Saga" thread I've seen int he past couple of days. You obssessed or somethin OP?
I guess but how many people will bother investing money into a "lol, they're actually step siblings/family" game? I imagine the interest in the fucking routes before was the forbidden aspect.
>ohhh, should I sleep with my unrelated, 18+ year old son/nephew? I feel so ashamed
Before, everyone was thinking it would just get cancelled
Going "Sorry guys, have to make a few changes, if you drop support it's completely understandable." is a lot better than "I'm taking the money from Patreon and moving over to a whole new backing system where you can keep giving me money."
It's dumb either way, but it's not entirely in his control.
How about he makes two versions, one with taboo, the other with normieshit. On Patreon people back for the normie game, but when they do, they get a free key for the taboo game.
Here's hoping they lose a shit ton of money to the point that they actively look for a new platform
>Going "Sorry guys, have to make a few changes, if you drop support it's completely understandable."
It's more along the lines of
>sorry guys, you paid for one game but getting another, too bad, I already took your money and will stick to this safe easy service
Keeping the game the same but moving off patreon is in no way more controversial.
He is probably going to have a small patch in the discord for the taboo stuff
I mean I get that but Im still just disappointed. Vanilla is fine if there's some relationship underlying that sort of content but SS doesn't have that so I'm trying to figure out why other people might be interested
If that's it it will be sorted in a patch easily. Even outside that there's a lot of other content.
The stuff in the OP are just user's guesses. We don't know what the changes to content will actually be.
He won't put the entire project on hold with the sheer amount of money pumped into it and he won't remove the three incest stories (undoubtedly the problem) completely because of all the content they have. I can't see what else there will be other than renaming.
We'll he'll probably be changing the dialogue but in a visual novel, that's basically the same as content
And like I said it's easily changed back with a sneaky patch.
I doubt it. I doubt he would go through the trouble desu. At present moment, SS is probably violating guidelines on incest and underage relationships. So that's what's gonna get written out.
Except those things change a lot about the routes they're in
downloads have been temporarily removed, anyone got a link?
Check /aco/
gee, i just downloaded this last week.
guess i got lucky.
hahaha these guys are raking in 23k a month just to let a few people prolong their boners?
hahaha man, i'm in wrong line of work. shit, i think we're all in the wrong line of work. this isn't even the first patreon scam i've seen either
Not so much a scam but yeah, it's a lot of money for how inconsistent they are with releases
It really sucks. I have been playing this game yearly.
I have a shitton of backlog of games with better art, better story, better gameplay, and with similar icest themes but for some reason i always come back to STS with high expectations and good hours of content enjoyed.
Because as far as concept, it's like a weird bad porno extended into a proper visual novel.
And that's dead now basically
dude it's a scam, no matter how hard you look at it. people are just okay with it because a lot of people don't have control over their own dicks.
this is basically interactive porn you flip through like a book. there's a few buttons, some alternate routes. they're dicking around while people have delivered the same level of quality for far less money, some even in their spare time. patreon supporters and kickstarter donors are some of the lemmings on the planet and when these guys disappoint all their fans and, the team disbands because of some internal struggle or the team leader's ego trip everybody will be standing around asking "OH SHIT WHAT HAPPENED????""
Do you know what the word "scam" means? It means you don't get what you paid for.
It wasn't a scam, but it is now.
>step siblings
You fucking wish, that's still against their guidelines. It's going to be 'roommate' and 'landlady' or some other bullshit. Wish I could press F to give the Patreon CEO's offspring cancer.
It's not Patreon, it's the credit card companies
Just learn moon already you fucking faggots. There are literally thousands of eroge and nukige that are higher quality with all the shit you want that you can get for free or cheap.
Fucking dropped. So hard to find legit incest.
Anyone have some recommendations?
Really? Then those kikes deserve cancer, fucking hell.
Since when do credit card companies care about the type of porn you pay for?
Snow daze did this. They said at the start of the game "everyone is step siblings and step parents" then when you actually get ingame it gets thrown out the window and its your mom, 2 sisters, and twin sister.
Since forever
Paypal said they were getting pressure from them some time ago due to these issues
Except the characters in Japanese visual novels are generally pretty boring and lack the ease of access that this piece of shit had.
I liked SS cause everyone was some real life version of a bad porno characyer
>make changes
>launch game
>change everything back
ta-da
No
I've played a lot of VNs, many great ones with incest but this game fills a wish fulfillment void of its own by being more relatable. Plus, it's great to play something with a different artstyle.
Do the people at these crowdfunding places really thing that are losing more money on moraly questionable content than they are gaining?
>really thing
>really thing
*Really think
Could work.
Big Brother, it's fucking amazing and gave me the best jerkoff sessions all year. Game stopped getting updates since that Patreon bullshit too, but at least it delivered on the mom content, which was the only thing I cared for.
For all you faggots that donate and actually care about the taboo shit, you guys need to stop donating.
It's literally the only way they'll look for a new platform. Otherwise it'll be vanilla shit from here on out. Which is fine if that's your thing
>"I'm taking the money from Patreon and moving over to a whole new backing system where you can keep giving me money."
But that's the best solution.
What the fuck, why does patreon care? Why does anyone care?
Why the fuck do the credit card companies care?
Already did. At this point, every arc is gonna be as boring as Mia or any of the normal dating routes they were planning
This.
What about "Hey guys, I'm going to be moving to a new backing system, this Patreon will be up for another month during the transition to give everyone time to end their donations here and support me on the new site, and after that it will be shut down."
>Do you know what the word "scam" means?
>paying money to beat your own meat because you lack imagination
yeah i know what a scam is, you're just thinking with your dick though
this is a video game defined in very loose terms, and yet it's clearly nothing. you can't even hold it. you just jerk off to it.
Apparently credit card companies get pissy. I can't come comprehend why though.
because people who help them be a successful business model care because reputation must mean something to them and everyone leaps at the chance to slate someone for something
its all money user
>Which is fine if that's your thing
it's only fine if there's a good story underneath it, but SMS was fun because it was basically half jokes and half porn
Cause they don't want to deal with legally dubious things like bestiality, rape, and incest. It's just easier to not deal with them at all. At least that's what they say.
I'm not even saying it's a good game, but if people know what they're getting when they give money over to patreon, then it's not a scam.
A bad use of money =/= scam
Also
>lack imagination
what year are you living in?
I work in retail. People really don't realize how viable "fuck you" as a solution is.
>Make the game revised
>Finish the game
>Then launch some mods on the website that alternate MC age and his family relationship (this can be during the development or after)
Problem solved, give me the Nobel pls
You should never throw money at any patreon you fucking retard
