News from the fields.
🕑 Added 2024-03-27 19:59:54 +0000 UTCHello, dear patrons and all those who believe and love our project!
It's time to break the silence and admit that we took a bit too big a bite to digest it quickly. An unpleasant surprise, as always, came from nowhere — namely, directly from Patreon. Recently, new rules regarding adult projects have come into force on the platform. To put it in a nutshell, now it means no violence, no coercion, no ambiguity, everything should be crystal clear, by mutual agreement of the parties who are in their right mind and firm memory, and lead to the exclusive mutual satisfaction of all interested parties... otherwise, a lifetime ban without the right to appeal.
A little too much, but OK, we decided first, because all kinds of slavery, violence and abuse were initially unacceptable to me as an author. And then we thought about it deeply... is it that the concept of dwarves will have to be very thoroughly redrawn?.. Well, basically... yes, it can be so. And what about this moment in the already finished version? But in that picture, Jack has a kind of unhappy face... In general, it is clear that, if desired, you can get to the pillar. And what to do if the desire suddenly arises, and now you can't really file an appeal with explanations... And here we thought hard.The problem is that while Patreon remains the main platform that brings us income from the project and we would not like to lose it yet. Therefore, we have temporarily removed links to the current version of the game, as well as all the art that can be misinterpreted.
Now we are actively working to return the link to the version of the game that meets all the new rules of the platform as soon as possible. In parallel, we are trying to promote the project on third-party resources. We tried to combine all this with work on the update, but, to be honest, the work of castrating our own project isextremely demoralizing, so for now this point has been put on pause. However, I really hope that very soon we will be able to please you, albeit with a fair delay, with some pleasant surprise (download links will be available in the usual order of precedence) ^_^.
Don't get lost, and thank you for being with us!

Patreon is fucking everything up, I'll be honest with you. I have never ever support a game in patreon usually just wait until it's complete but your gane is amazing I really enjoy everything you guys are the first time that I support someone on the game making and I know that its not that much but I'm happy to help as much as I can so if you move to a different app web o if you decide to do it directly using Discord please count on me

Have you guys ever thought of starting a subscribestar account. They aren't NEARLY as picky about such things.
DustyPlatypus
i really hope they stick it out dont give up its been a hot minute now since we heard anything

They have taken down the links until they've vetted it for content that could get them banned under Patreon's new rules.
kingisoo
how do u download newst
PaddyOFurniture
Subscribestar adult is probably the best model for them but it has a notoriously long approval process. I think that this is going to be messy.
DustyPlatypus
So whats the verdict? when can we expect a verdict
PaddyOFurniture
They have a page on Boosty in case things go south here.

Can we get the most recent version through discord or other ways? Even just the files containing the dwarves story art would be nice for the time.
James Harrold
Anyone know how we can access the newest version of the game?

Patreon as a platform is nice to use to promote your work and make a little money. But Patreon is not the end all be all there are other platforms that are just as useable Please do not let a terrible decision by some corporate exec who cant see his own penis turn your project into something that is unrecognizable. Themes such as slavery, abuse, violence, are simply human its history and those who find the topics to be too much for them can and have the ability to simply not view it and walkaway. If your project addresses these topics as long as its not intentionally malicious to Us the audience I have no problem with them I would rather they be explored and a conversation be had than outright limit creative thought and art. If the dwarves share in themes that patreon doesn't approve then fuck patreon You Do You I want to see what you do not what patreon wants.

I belive only deves should had final word in this game,and sure people who helps can give advices or ideas,but no company must shove nose on some else work.
Jefferson Gabler
I love this game,and I belive game are perfect was its right know,and by love of God,its a fuck adult game... Patreon need know its not the player enjoy play edge or ambiguous tuff than everyone are sick of mind of rapists.
PaddyOFurniture
I've already set up a Subcribestar adult account in case of a move.

Please keep your game like it is. Don't castrating it. It's one of the best games I played, don't castrating your own project. If it means to switch to another platform, just do it but please keep the game like it is. Don't kill this good game only because of bad decisions of Patreon and don't let the censorship remake this game. I love this game like it is so I will follow the move if you need to switch to another platform because of Patreon new rules.

I think the choice for the creators is this : sanitize your stories so it doesn’t make sense, it’s super boring, and no one wants to read it or do the art you want to do in a place that won’t tell you that you’re a deviant and ban you
PaddyOFurniture
There will always be people who want to dictate how you should think. Politics and methods are just the hats they wear and the sticks they beat you with.

This is what happens when the left gets into censorship the right will always try to make just a lot of band like something like porn hub from Texas but the left will try to shame and cajole the companies themselves and then they make it purposefully ambiguous because how boring is it to have a game where someone goes and says hello my name isJack. Hello my name is Paul let’s make have you met my attorney to make sure that everything will be consensual and happy and aware by both parties if not, this game must be banned
GoHawks1840
That’s the one I was thinking
PaddyOFurniture
Subscribestar adult might be an option as well.
GoHawks1840
Don’t go turning your hardwork to crap.
Kazoo
Yeah, they seem to crack down on adult content harder and harder. It would be better to move somewhere else with some time for transition than make immediate switch because they suddenly closed your account
GoHawks1840
I think you should just move to itchio
