Such good renders and so far the story has been pretty fun.
Just saw he was banned on Boosty though. I hope this game will continue.

Like you said, at least it's not game over...and if dev is not worrying about some content getting him demonetized, then he can fully explore whatever path he wantsThe developer is banned from Boosty. On the largest Russian-language website dedicated to such games, in mid-December, the developer announced that he no longer intends to try to monetize this project, but intends to continue doing it as a hobby in his spare time. It's a pity, of course, that the project has actually moved to On-Hold status, but at least it cannot be said that it has been abandoned. Although it is obvious that updates, if they appear, will be released at very long intervals. After all, after the main job, you always want to relax, relax, drink a beer, watch a TV series, and not work a second time.
Sorry to say, but that "fuck95 ban" is bullshit. The game is still available there.This game is pretty much the reason I started playing visual novels. I used to dislike this genre for a long time, but after seeing one of its promotional images or videos, I decided to give them a try. To me, this game is absolutely perfect, and I really hope to see more updates. Plus, people online say it was banned because of the loli content, but I’ve seen plenty of other loli games released on fuck95... yet this one got hit with a ban. It’s really strange and unfair.

Okay thats super sad to hear. So there is no way he can work/monetize this project otherwise?The largest Russian-language website with similar games has moved this project to the archive, where abandoned projects are preserved. As I understand it, this was done after correspondence with the developer. Thus, unfortunately, this VN is abandoned.
There are no problems with posting your content on Western sites (Patreon, etc.). The main problem is the inability to withdraw money. To apply for a Visa or Mastercard, you need to fly to another country. Chinese Union Pay, which works well in Asia (Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East), Latin America and Africa, are not recognized by Western sites. A consequence of the Cold War between China and the West. So the situation is really hopeless. It makes no sense to post the game on domestic Russian resources - it was originally aimed at a Western audience.Okay thats super sad to hear.

That's actually what Ketzal ("Such a Sharp Pain") did. And it ended not well...It’s a shame — this game was really good, but the removal of the last monetization method was the final nail in the coffin for the project. This hunt against game developers is getting more and more intense, and anyone who thinks it’s simply groups against pornography is mistaken. It goes further: themes like incest, loli, harem, and male dominance are heavily targeted, perhaps because they’re the majority. But don’t think it’s only activist groups. The main driving force is the American financial system, which holds a monopoly on international transactions. Just look at the Steam case: they publicly stated they were removing games that weren’t illegal but contained certain adult content due to pressure from Visa and Mastercard, which were threatening to block any money transfers from Steam — the largest game store in the world. Even they had to bow to the banking monopoly. Imagine how smaller ones fare.
Maybe developers should think about monetizing games indirectly, where on funding platforms they would post more tame content — just text and a simple image — and access to the actual game would be provided through other channels.
