Announcement: T&S Review (Again)!
Added 2020-01-08 10:07:36 +0000 UTCHello everyone.
The Patreon Trust & Safety team has been in contact with me again, and pointed out that the content of one of our games, namely, Claire's Quest, is in violation of their "zero tolerance" list. Specifically, Patreon does not allow any content with, "glorification of sexual violence, or depictions of non-consensual sex, incest, bestiality, and shota/loli content" to be hosted on Patreon.
Therefore, we cannot explicitly mention or link to the Claire's Quest game on our Patreon. Basically we have to remove the Claire's Quest game from our Patreon.
Please don't worry, however, as this has been a long time coming, and I've prepared a contingency plan for this specific scenario. Here are a list of changes being made:
1) All the download links to our games will no longer be shared via Patreon's direct messaging platform, nor will there be posts or pages with the URLs. Instead, the links to our games can be found on our official Discord. If you are a patron, please pledge to the Discord immediately if you have not done so already, so you continue to get access.
2) All mention of the Claire's Quest game on Patreon will cease, effective immediately. The game itself will have it's presence removed from our Patreon. Our Patreon will now simply be dedicated to the supporting a miscellaneous collection of artwork, webcomics, and games, with a dystopian theme.
3) The front page will be accordingly retrofitted to represent these changes, and all download links to the Claire's Quest game will be removed, from all pages, including public demos.
4) Polls will continue to be held without issue on Patreon, and the Art Packs will continue to be distributed via Patreon's messaging system.
On an related note, we will start setting up a public Discord for non-pledged/patron players and fans.
There is no cause for alarm, as we will simply, and technically, be using this Patreon as a "tip jar" for dystopian-themed artwork, webcomics, and misc. games.
Thank you for reading!

2020-02-27 14:15:10 +0000 UTCSmart,unfair.lol. But Smart. Faustian is the word, To see Claire actually be desperate enough to become something...Less than Human in order to get her revenge on those that attacked her Mother. Even if it transforms her into a demon,vampire,succubus regardless if she choses to make a deal and slowly corrupts and even corrupts others justifying it in her own way. Even have the possibility for her to go evil without resulting in a game over just adds a twist to an already good plot. After finding her mother she may punish monsters by ruling them & corrupting anyone in her way. How Far would you go to find someone you lost. Would you make a deal with the Devil,how far indeed. Cheers to an already good game.

2020-02-03 05:07:51 +0000 UTCYes, such a Faustian deal is planned for some questlines, but I won't spoil you with which!

2020-02-02 08:18:44 +0000 UTCRegarding Claire in Valos Library reading about all the Monsters,demons and evil Queen. One a lot of effort put into this project, but anyway. Can Claire make a deal with the devil sort of speak?. Meet A Succubus or any particular entity which will grant Claire power with the catch of going dark or losing her soul type of thing. Just wondering because well that would be neat for her to get revenge but also this world created is so detailed with things to do I just had to ask. Cheers

2020-02-02 08:01:18 +0000 UTCcould you send me a link
2020-01-22 07:36:05 +0000 UTCI wish you luck but I have to admit patreon change so much and not too my liking. I always felt that there some hidden agenda behind this but that’s just me. I notice that some developers decided to make there own websites for there games. Maybe you should do the same but I don’t know how you feel about making your own website.
2020-01-18 05:59:49 +0000 UTCNice growth btw :) Good luck in your art!
2020-01-17 21:05:57 +0000 UTCNot yet! It's hard to give a hard date because we can't estimate how long some of these last CG sets will take. They are very complex and not like anything we've done before, with 2-3 set variations in-between them to account for all the different endings.
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-14 06:56:32 +0000 UTCIs there any certain date of O:G new version?
rice3521 .
2020-01-14 03:59:12 +0000 UTCIt's not properly setup yet, I will let you all know when it is!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-14 03:20:02 +0000 UTCSo I found you on subscribestar.adult/dystopianproject . Would the pay towards you be better there?

2020-01-13 18:43:56 +0000 UTCi hear subscribestar is pretty cool wink wink
skeXis
2020-01-12 22:15:04 +0000 UTCI'd appreciate the SubscribeStar ... it isn't as polished as Patreon, but I'd rather support through a platform like that, rather than continuing to reward Patreon for saying we're not welcome, only our money is.
legraf
2020-01-11 18:56:30 +0000 UTCHopefully not so drastic! I will implement a few more things as part of my contingency, from a SubscribeStar to a public Discord, which should alleviate things a bit.
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-10 23:23:52 +0000 UTCThis basically boils down to: if people like the game enough, they'll continue pledging and get it from discord. If they don't, or they're super lazy / can't access discord in their country / too foolish to learn how to proxy, they'll drop their pledge, leave patreon entirely, and cry themselves to sleep due to lack of pr0n.

2020-01-10 18:46:58 +0000 UTCthis is so sad
2020-01-10 14:03:11 +0000 UTCNot yet, but I'm working on it!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-10 10:59:48 +0000 UTCHas the new discord been set up for public, or nah? I'm just wondering is all.
2020-01-10 04:36:40 +0000 UTCWhy spend time and money doing and hosting a website ?
Sirine
2020-01-09 19:39:14 +0000 UTCYou can pay through Patreon as usual, but rewards are distributed via Discord, which will be resent!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-09 13:07:44 +0000 UTCGood idea! I will send it out!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-09 13:07:27 +0000 UTCI will send it through!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-09 13:07:20 +0000 UTCO:G is linear and action-based, CQ is open-world and exploration-based!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-09 13:06:49 +0000 UTCvery sad news, but good to see you keep going, you had the best updates of anyone and always so fun to read.... now we cant see them, maybe you need to make a website for the updates because many people do not use discord.
Alice
2020-01-09 12:14:59 +0000 UTCSo...what happens now? Do we still pay through Patreon and now collect updates via Discord? Where is the Discord? Could you provide a link to the Discord server (I hate using Discord, btw...) so we can continue to collect the game updates? I suspect I'm not alone in saying that if this becomes too difficut (no fault of your own, btw) I'll be cancelling my membership.
Sync
2020-01-09 07:25:21 +0000 UTCIt might be in your best interest to send out a link to your discord page. If you can't send it with the patreon messaging system you might send to your subscribers emails if possible. I say this because I probably will pull my membership if I can't stay connected to what you are doing with Clair's Quest. I might not be the only one who feels this way.
2020-01-09 02:47:48 +0000 UTCStupid question but what is the link to the discord?
SurlyPanda
2020-01-09 00:13:48 +0000 UTCWell that was interesting... I just recently discovered your content this December, and absolutely loved Overgrown:Genesis!!! However, I'm curious if I would like Claire's Quest also, so if anyone could write me a review/comparison of the two games, that would be great!!!
2020-01-08 21:29:17 +0000 UTCOkay, everything is very clear with the Claire's Quest. We will wait for links to your official Discord! Good luck!

2020-01-08 20:59:32 +0000 UTCI doubt it is about lewd stuff per se. My first impluse was to blame the puritans for this, but I don't think that is quite right. I mean, the play a certain role in this whole spiel, but the real reason is, IMHO, that Patreon is scared shitless that some of those puritans cunjures up a shitstorm about something stupid as some drawn pixels, and thus they preemptively remove anything that could be considered 'unfitting', or 'triggering'. They protect their own interests, because cancel-culture may be dying, but it isn't dead yet.
2020-01-08 20:09:45 +0000 UTCPatreon banning lewd stuff. Not stonks
Sirine
2020-01-08 19:25:04 +0000 UTCI deleted the message with the discord access when I got it because I don't use anything like discord. Is there any other way to stay updated? Can you at least send a message with the discord link to the existing patrons?
DuckTogo
2020-01-08 18:24:46 +0000 UTCI'm unable to access the discord even though I've been a patron for a while. is there any way I could be provided a link/invite?
Crunchyhuntsman
2020-01-08 17:42:54 +0000 UTCI can see patreon going the way of tumblr patreon needs to stop this crusade
2020-01-08 16:53:59 +0000 UTCCan you share the discord link of the page?
lastsonofosiris
2020-01-08 10:53:58 +0000 UTCPotentially!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-08 10:16:19 +0000 UTCNo, O:G seems fine!
ArchitectOfDystopia
2020-01-08 10:14:51 +0000 UTCWill this also affect overgrowth?
