Monthly Report: September
🕑 Added 2020-09-26 20:20:04 +0000 UTCThis Patreon has been running for a full year now! Therefore I wanted to pickup on things I promised some ages back. However, the release this month came a bit late because this had a lot of moving parts. Getting everything done in a single month was certainly a challenge. Well, it's still not done, but I didn't want delay any longer. Old gamedev wisdom says the last 20% take 80% of the time, and it's entirely true ;)
In other news, Patreon seems to enforce their adult theme policy now more than before. All adult content needs to be "Patreon only". When I tried to upload screenshots for this release, some AI detected "nudity" in the pictures, although I had already sanitized the pictures intended for Patreon upload. That's not enough anymore apparently. For this reason, I will change the way I'm posting things:
- Instead of the split description and download posts here on Patreon, I will post a single "Patreon only" post. However, as before, the same information will also be posted on the Hub as well as Reddit, where you can read it for free. Posts on Discord and Twitter will link to the Hub. You can still get the same information as before, I won't hide behind a paywall. However, I have to respect Patreons policy.
- I can safe time by not having to prepare special non-nude screenshots for Patreon.
- Also to save time I will not upload to MEGA anymore. Setting up all the links and checking them always took quite a while. The reason I did that was so that users could download without login once the download was free. However, now you have to login anyway to get past the "Patreon only", so there is no point anymore.
- Once EarlyAccess period ended I will manually upload everything to the Hub as I did before. However, that might of course lag a few days behind, as I have to do it manually now.
In the coming weeks I will probably also clean up the older posts in the same way as well as produce a new banner image...since they also don't allow adult banners.....and think about what to do with the "about" page.
Not quite sure yet how to keep adult content out of the Monthly Reports. Possibly I just have to make them "Patreon only" as well.
Cheers, MacGruber
