The problem was FINALLY fixed a few months ago. 

Though I found out by one of my attempts to sign in -- and IT WORKED -- and *not* by them telling me the problem had been solved,

The "problem" was I have a very old email address -- coming up on 25 years -- and unlike the vast majority of email addresses, my "@" part has 2 dots -- "." -- in it and not the now standard one dot.

I've had a few problems with this is past years, but never one as annoying or long-lasting as happened with Patreon. 

As far as what Creator and their games you want to support on Patreon, I would say, what games do you LIKE to play that are here on itch/io and does its Creator have a Patreon account? (Some do not.)

I support about 4-5 different games, all basically at the lowest tier because that is all I can afford, and I play ALL of those games -- and I look forward to playing them! And there are a lot of pluses with being a Patreon supporter, including early releases of games, and often special things like additional images, voting in game-related polls, and sometimes even mini-games for Patreon supporters only.

I've been a Patreon member for about 3-4 years and never had a problem with the site until This THING with the email happened to me. Personally I find the more that Patreon stays out of the way of its Creators, the better it is for everyone.

So, I'd look on itch/io and see what games you like and what you actually play, and then read the info about those games because if the Creator is a Patreon member, you can be *sure* they will mention it in their itch/io posts! And then just click on the link!

If the idea is to appeal to as many game Creators as possible, I have to agree that "PrideHosting" is going to limit the appeal. Not necessary because of bigotry, but PrideHosting sounds like it is focused on only gay-related games and is NOT inclusive of other adult, horror, experimental, etc., etc. games. 

Something like OpenHosting or AllGamesHosting might have been a wider-ranged and more welcoming name.

Unfortunately, you seem to have locked yourself into that name, so at this point I don't know what can be done.

I wish you the best as I am personally extremely displeased with Itch.io decision.

Thank you. This is upset to me because I really enjoyed playing your game and you offered so much extra content on Patreon that I how won't be able to get.   :(

Thank you. This is upsetting to me because I really like your game and being able to get it early on Patreon.

I did NOT posted it to "all the other adult vns," I posted to the pages of the creators here on itch.io that I support on Patreon (since I cannot sign in there), which are eight in total, so they would know.

Not that it is any of your business.

Hello,

This is just to inform you that come of the end of May, I may stop supporting your game and you on Patreon.

I really do NOT want to do this, but Patreon made some change to how one logs into their site and, since the beginning of May, it will NOT recognize my email address. So now I cannot log into my Patreon account and I cannot get to any of the pages of the Creators I support, such as yourself, and your content there.

I contacted Patreon about this weeks ago and they have admitted they caused this problem, but they seem in no hurry to fix it, assuming they are actually even trying to correct it.

Since I cannot access your content on Patreon, there is no point in my making payments there and I will just have to buy or get what I can here on Itch.io.

I'm very disappointed by this since I have been a Patreon supporter since September 2022. I've given them until this Friday, May 30th, to solve this, but if they won't or can't fix this problem by then, well, I'll contact my bank and have Stop Payments put on all the Creators I support.

Again, this is so you know and you know why.

Thanks!

Okay, I'll likely go over to Patreon at some point to ask this again, but in your linked downloads, there is a file called "chapter5.rpyc" -- what is that for?!

Hi,

I really enjoy your game. I plan on becoming a Patreon supporter for you at the end of February. (I support a number of game-makers there and I like having my dues all due around the same time.)

Anyway, I'm playing the first episode and I've noticed there are a fair number of misspelling and other grammatical errors in the text.  When I run  into one, it "takes me out of the game" which kind of spoils the fun for me. (I'll attach 2 images of these with this post, but there are also others.)

(I also noticed you don't use periods at the end of sentences, but I guess that is a creative choice.) 

Do you have someone to *proofread* for you -- or can you get someone to do so? If not, I'd be willing to do so with your game's text. That's up to you. But I do hope you do get someone to proofread, because as I said, when I encounter one in-game, it throws me off. That might just be me -- I read a LOT of books.

I'm looking forward to Episode 3!

I like the animation, but, seriously, it looks like his pants are going to pop!

And, that tight? His c*ck and b*lls must be in agony!

Thank you for making the mini-guide!

And, I just realized, I know of the perfect site where I can share your game!

I hope you are doing well, and, again, thank you so much for making this game!

Iä! Iä!

Just to let you know, the notice for this post says there are 5 new images with it and shows thumbnails of them, but when I come to your actual post, I can't find those 5 images.

Iä! Iä! P'ppydrag'n fhtagn!

Congratulations!

And thank you!
