Ecchi Sensei Week 1 - Status Report No. 4:
Hello hello!
This week was not a good week whatsoever...
The progress isn't going as well as I had hoped and on top of that Patreon caused a sudden incident that can have bad effects on the progress.
Yes, I received a mail from the Patreon Trust & Safety team, and since we don't want the Patreon page to be locked, satisfying Patreon is the top priority.
Unfortunately Patreon has yet to specify what exactly needs to be changed. But you can be certain that we will do everything in our power so that Patreon is happy with us again :)
How much time needs to be put into that is something that I can only know once there are further instructions.
I received the e-mail on April 24 and of course I responded immediately. I'll keep you up to date.
Let's talk about the progress of this week. Three days had to be taken out of the schedule to rewrite a big part of the D3 script.
❀ 4400 more lines have been rewritten (Day 3)
❀ Design screen is finished:
10 fonts
21 text boxes
15 font colors
❀ 22 GUI sounds added
❀ 200+ music tracks added
❀ 96 ambient and 104 hand to hand sounds created (thanks to MJ)
❀ Days 1&2 were partially graphically improved
Also: Working for the "Options" screen right now (Preferences)
That was it for this week.
Like I said, we need to make Patreon happy and as soon as we know how much needs to be changed, we can give more info on whether there will be a delay.
But you can be sure about one thing. Ecchi Sensei will continue being worked on. No matter what happens.
So long,
Blue

The way Patreon is going, they are going to end up banning all adult content that is not a single man and single woman doing it in the missionary position with a condom and censored the same way as Japanese porn, followed by all adult content period.
It seems that Patreon was captured by very worried femists, for whom losses are not important - the main idea. Authors without Patreon will survive, and Patreon will survive without authors?
I support the creator BlueCat and go where ever he goes if Patreon decides to ban Ecchi Sensei or demand changes that will completely destroy the character of the story.
I agree with MrMagoo96,
I agree with Eikichi.
@BlueCat Hello and thank you for fantastic work , I was planning to be your patron but can you tell me where will be better to sign on Patreon or SubscribeStar for full version of game ? Kind Regards MG
Hello MG. I received no further instructions for now from patreon. But I'm pretty sure patreon no longer bans accounts that easy. So it's up to you.
I'm going where ever the creator is going. It's not the first time and won't be the last. I'm supporting the creator, not the platform.
patreon, trying to ruin another creator's great work to better suit there need's! :(
I swear patreon better not demand a change to mika. I'll be sad XD
Like other creators that face this problem, you can release an adjusted build on Patreon that fits their guidelines, then release a patch on another site that adds in those parts they don't support.
you could always do what another dev did. keep working on orginal game but have patreon page make it seem like your working on a new game. might confuse people though since not everyone1 constantly follows updates or threads
Seriously, now is the time to look at creating a SubscribeStar account.
I would switch and increase my pledge. Edit: Ah, I see the page already exists but is currently under review. Hope it gets approved quickly! Edit2: And it's live!
f patreon there TOS is trying to kill all adult content on their platform. I would suggest you make a SubscribeStar as a backup plan so they don't kill this game.
I suppose anything they want changed can be fixed with a patch (not distributed through Patreon) after the fact. I’ve seen it done on several games. 🤷🏼♂️
I hear what you are saying and this is true, but it is still unfortunate that these patches are even required. With SubscribeStar gaining popularity, I am pushing more adult content creators to open an account on there, because it seems they are less strict than Patreon (i.e.- Mr Dots and DMD)
true, I wonder what it is
Oh no! First harem hotel, and now my ecchi!! Damn you patreon XD
I can't see what they would want to change
