At least he's smartened up and realized it's unwise to put the good kinks on his sites and pages if he wants to keep his fronts and those payment methods open. Maybe now he can work on TLG and the other ones we actually want in peace. Dunno why every dev hasn't done this yet instead of put up with Patreon and everyone else's bullshit. Honestly I couldn't care less if his site only had cat videos, I mostly subbed for TLG and DD. PA2 he's already fucked up, as I'm not interested in being reminded everyone the MC fucks is 18 every 3rd sentence (the smart devs will either go full on Shiny Devon and not give a shit or at least keep ages intentionally vague and not even mention them or give outward clues in the story like in God Life). Hopefully there'll be no more of that dumb shit now that the rest are now technically free and have no platform.

If the site is now open to all, can anyone share the URL? I know, it's probably in a previous comment, but I just checked the past 100+ posts in this thread, and, other than a bunch of Discord and website screen captures, I can't seem to find it.

In The Guardian, I bred my daughter wives.
In The Lost Guardian, I will breed my granddaughter daughter wives.
But this slut specifically, she will give birth to atleast 10 of my children to be be added to our never ending harem.

As it should be. Nerdy girls with glasses

I genuinely wish BGH to get better in his life man. This year has been rough so hopefully the site properly works out. Alongside wishes, I hope the side projecs that are in forefront don't take up too much time.
Focusing on two projects at most would be ideal so the games get an actual closure.

I get the feeling the 3 fronts are low priority. They're just there to keep the site open since the PP's simply wouldn't let him run essentially a Kickstarter clone with nothing being sold while getting free donations for whatever reason. He did say in Discord that he's never putting the incest (BV even needs a separate off-site patch for that), lolis, rape, etc AVNs on his site that his fans actually want so at least he's smartened up (if only it didn't take 2 previous bans to do that). As it's set up now everyone's asses are legally covered, so now Collective Karen and other white knight rescue-the-voxel morons can bitch at whoever all they want and get ignored while BHG can make the AVNs we actually want in peace. As long as he makes an update a month to the good AVNs I'll keep giving him crypto for the almost-never-updated crap on the site (shouldn't be too hard, he has like 5 people helping, though update sizes do tend to be bigger than average).

I think once the dark times pass and he actually accumulates people back who are willing to support via the site, it's all going to be good. Back to Lost guardiang, personal assistant and dire desires I hope. Unfortunately I do think that current biggest issue is actually his advertising.
Sure, it's more efficient to just focus on work rather than chat here and there... but... yeah.
When you lose majority of your supporter base, you legitimately need to actually focus on making sure that your projects have maximum possible visibility. Which means encouraging people to sign up and showcasing the games.

Nobody beside people on Lewdcorner and ATF knows about his projects as they are very hard to get.
What would be good is to be active here, active on ATF trying to get people to sign up.
Start posting on Pixiv and link potentially some of the support links under images to get people to sign up. Pixiv itself is a good platform even if they do lots of ban waves.
Rule34xxx for adult VN scene showcases, Rule34hentai . net for lolis. Deviantart for adults but use it as front to fund other projects.
And so on. It sucks, it's a lot of work but... it needs to be done if there's any hope of trying to grow the site and making it bigger than it is currently.

If it's possible and someone is willing, would be good to see the trailer here too. Unless Seath doesn't want that of course.

Just to tide us over until the release

It takes too long to upload on here, so it's on GoFile

Practically all his fans come here anyway and have for a long time, since way back when Fuck95 banned him. I see it as advertising recreational drugs for sale, too much of that is too much of a risk. If he had like 100k paying fans that wouldn't last long before enough Karens cried about it the gov't would get involved in harassing him (even if he took it to trial and won), as even just vanilla porn is in survival mode thanks to age verification crap in a lot of states and countries now. At this point he's been at it long enough word of mouth is good enough, this site and ATF may not be Fuck95 but 500k+ is still plenty and if it got into the millions that would be too much heat to deal with most likely.

Don't take it the wrong way but I can't disagree more. It doesn't matter how big you are. You're still a content creator. Getting new people on board is the lifeblood of growth for a content creator. Because you never know if good ole Jimmy who has been supporting for 30 bucks every month can afford to support it because he suddenly lost his job.
Saying "this works" and not doing anything is going to turn you stagnant. Where you purely rely on established people rather than trying to constantly get more people on board so whoever leaves doesn't devastate your budget and way of life.
I'm not talking about millions but more about diversifying places where the content is posted. So people get redirected to the "main" sites where the developer resides and gets support from.
I quite literally have real life experience in advertising and marketing so I know what I'm talking about. Even with counting in the potential risks of doing so - it's worth it. More so that now his income relies on a website itself rather than convenience of patreon/substar etc.

On sidenote. I don't think many would find it bad if Seath animated the scenes using AI. Assuming it wouldn't take longer than animating them by hand. There is for example this guy called Chocolate34 on rule34hentai net. Who takes renders from various artists and animates them in quite high quality using AI.
DAZ animations have never been the absolute pinnacle of animation so much wouldn't change. Have one scene animated by AI, while by hand animating ones requiring more complex emotions and stuff. Juggling so many projects at once is not very healthy so if there's tools to make it faster - why not.
