Leaking Content from Patreon

How do I get my key I got the second membership and its not in my email

I love those levels honestly especially the tutorial

I’ve seen some people streaming Barnaby’s mansion level. Is that allowed?

Should just add a watermark on the game. A unique ID that can be cross-referenced and ban/revoke the individual user who's leaking. A lot of playtests I'm involved in do this. Been in many calls on discord about the leaker ID and basically those associated with them got the hammer as well.

i bought the membership i dident get the key in my email

How can i get my key 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Don’t worry I go beat em up c:< /j

That said, that part is going to be annoying for me in the final game. I hate rhythm things. I've never played Dance Dance Revolution. Triangle to win in Kingdom Hearts/ reaction things are easy enough, but this seems a lot more sensitive in either screwing up or not than that.

Pretty sure the updated Barnaby's Chase is okay. After all, they posted it on their channel and I think someone official on the Discord confirmed. It's on the list and I don't think the non-updated is available on the normal build we have now. Just don't stream what they clearly outlined for us not to do. There's even a disclaimer before Dutch's part that tells us not to.

Can the updated Barnaby Chase can still be streamed without consequence, just curious cause I want to start streaming soon.

i may have an idea what if the game can detect if the recording software open, just like in doki doki literature club. so if recording software is open than hide wip levels, and if recording software is closed than unhide wip levels. i don't know if you can do this on a fly?

Honestly with 6+ years of hard work I’d be in the same boat as you, so I completely agree with your choice <3 I’m so sorry this is happening and it sucks that those people have to go and ruin it all for us following the rules ): but I get it!

Sadly, "don't do this thing or I'll punish a bunch of people that you [the perpetrator] don't care about" pretty much never works to make anyone stop doing anything. And frequently ends up hurting you -- give your supporters less things in return for their support, and you frequently just end up with fewer supporters. It sucks, but that's kinda the reality.

There will always be people shirking the rules for their view count. You're better off removing the content you don't want shared; you'll never be able to actually stop them from doing what they want 'for the lulz'. It's an unfortunate necessity in this age of "FIRST. Lookit how important and trendy and edgy I am by breaking the rules lololololol". Sad but true.

I still want to stream the game at some point but I will be sure not to stream the WIP levels. I don’t want to mess up the development for you.

I just streamed it earlier tonight and was asked over and over to play dance battle, explained to everyone in my stream a million times that creator of this game LITERALLY tells everyone not to! I said i am not gatekeeping. I told them if you want to support the game go to the patreon and you can play it privately. Everyone is really getting hype over the Barnaby Chase play through and me and my chat had a hilarious and fun great time with it!

Just to be sure can the stages names match the “don’t” stream list. For example the “million gruesome ways to die” title in the game isn’t called “barnaby’s chase”. I just want to make sure I don’t accidentally do something I shouldn’t. I love this game and the direction it’s going so I want to respect all the rules. ❤️

For about the past week there's been a ton of live streams on Tik Tok of people playing the Barnaby's Chase level on one hit mode. I'm sure this is contributing to the sudden boost in interest and subsequent problems. That's what got us to join - my husband wanted to try the level but there's not a lot of information on how to get the demo available from a simple web search. You may want to add a moving banner (to avoid cropping the image when streaming) that says something to the effect of "game in development, do not stream" for the levels that are not allowed.

It sucks, but this will basically be unavoidable going forward, as you continue to grow, especially when you get closer to release. The only way to stop it would be to stop sharing playable areas. I hate it, but these people won’t stop just because they are told to, and I sort of doubt you’re going to go the extra mile of taking legal action against any of them, just for the financial and publicity hassle it could be.

Maybe you guys could add in a system into levels that aren’t supposed to be streamed, like how the suicide squad beta had the whole screen covered with their steam/console username, basically just cover the screen with their name repeatedly but at a opacity that makes it possible to play still. Then whoever records and uploads footage you can see their username and take away their key and ban them from getting a new one

I mean honestly, when you try to go into the dense battle. A big warning note appears on screen. That tells you, you can't stream. I don't know if everybody reads that but I did. And even though I don't really have the means to make videos of my time on Billie Bust Up, I do pay attention to stuff like that. Unfortunately, not everybody fully reads that stuff though they just click. Yeah, whatever just so they can play The Game.

I’m glad we have a bigger fandom now but it ends up for some people to not pay attention leading to leaks and other things

Is it possible to display the person's steam key in work in progress builds to help determine who is the leaker and revoke their steam key and ban them from the patreon

And I'm partially blind without the screen reader. I'm not really good with wordy stuff

I don't know who is leaking the content they're not supposed to, but to be honest, I'm not surprised. Whenever you tell people that there is stuff, they're not supposed to show, eventually, that exact thing will happen. It happens all the time, unfortunately.

As a streamer. I havnt streamed this game. But as a streamer I feel embarassed by those who are breaking the rules... Yes. You want to make viewers happy. But rules, legalality and laws still apply. And the streamer still not only must abide the platform they are streaming on but also the devs of the game thats in a beta. If there is a NDA on certain parts of content or game. You MUST abide by it by all means. Yes you may lose viewers. Yes it may hurt your channel. BUT there are other games. And other viewers that will show up. Its not the end of the world if you dont stream these levels... So to those breaking the rules. Please dont. Cuz not only you make us streamers look bad. You are gunna hurt all these loyal fans and people who spent money in a long term... Thank you for coming to my ted talk. <3 Keep being awesome devs!

Understandable, though unfortunate. Please do what you need to protect your game. I look forward to the final product.

Respect the devs wishes.

Why don't we ban those streamers from the Patreon?

If there is one can I stream the tutorial

how to get the key?

That or people are ignoring what the devs rules are and do anything they want because they want to make viewers happy.

I just realized I can’t access Frantocos boss

Hey, so if they keep doing that, they'll take away our levels until they stop? and also why not sue them legally?
