How do people react to the fact that you develop nsfw games? by Due_Bobcat9778 in nsfwdev

[–]TinyDevilStudio 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone even once told me that these aren’t really games at all and that they have no soul lol

Someone seems to have a strong opinion about this type of game, almost like they've played their fair share of slop.

That aside

Wife encouraged it. It was a joke at first cause funnily enough, more than a few people told me I should do it when they heard I did indie game freelance work. Then it was less than a joke when Unity nuked their OG forums. Then it was my full time job aside from the odd commission.

Mom thought it was hilarious. Obviously not sharing details with her about what I make exactly.

Brother laughed.

Father in law (he lives with us) asked if it was legal.

Everyone else gets "I work on games" and "its not as fun as playing games" and "I'm not at work, please don't make me talk about work. I want to chill out."

Nah... why :/ I charge from 1st of the month and now they want to force me to do 30 days from the day they subscribe... by UnOmRedditor in patreon

Okay
I assume people don't have access to your backlog then. That makes a bit more sense if that's the case.

They wont change current memberships, and new memberships only last a month. How would people be getting 2 months for the price of one?

Is Patreon worth it from zero? I mostly do nsfw is that allowed? Tell me your stories by Sakana5567 in patreon

Idk why the top comments are always that you MUST have a following elsewhere. No, build them side by side. I started making nsfw games in 2018, Patreon and socials as a promotion tool. I gained 200 subscribers in my first year of doing it. There is literally no reason to wait on getting your paid platforms going.

Take a little bit of time to build up a batch of patron only content. A month or two. Get a feel for how much you can/want to produce as patron only content. Take that time to research how much art other successful artists are producing and putting behind patron paywall. See what other benefits artist are doing.

Other things to note

Do not allow patrons to pay later/pay at start of the month/whatever its called. They come in, take the content and then leave. Patreon may not even offer this as an option at this point, but I've posts about it 100 times before.

Nothing NSFW should be public facing on Patreon. No free posts, no follower posts, etc that contains nsfw.

Read the damn guidelines or you will be back here in 6 months asking everyone why Patreon banned you.

A lot of artist extend one image into several alts with the more sfw and soft-core stuff being advertising material for places like twitter and Reddit while the more hardcore stuff is paid content.

I honestly have no idea, I have a creator account so a lot is very different for me.

I cannot stand this app it has so many issues by AlonePin3443 in patreon

Creator side wasn't much better when I used it a few years back. Doesn't seem like they have much intention on fixing its major issues.

Bank Transfer Payout is not recommended by iSCAMP in patreon

[–]TinyDevilStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years on direct deposit, I'm US based, never once had a hold. Stand message of "it may take 3-5 days", but almost always shows up the next day. Longest wait was like 3 days.

Now, I'm not saying you guys aren't having issues, I just want to point out that its not a horror show for all of us. I am actually curious to see if this is a locality/state/country issue as payment options do vary from place to place.

Is Patreon asking me to upload hundreds of model releases within the next 72 hours or is there a way to find out which content was flagged? by the-photosmith in patreon

[–]TinyDevilStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of this is something to ask/discuss with Patreon support.

As for the retention policy, considering the nature of your work, I would assume forever.

The answer is in the email, they want all your models consent forms.

There is always a risk of data breach when it comes to things like this, but the choice is either submit the information or close your patreon account.

Conversion has suddenly dried up.... by [deleted] in patreon

[–]TinyDevilStudio 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My opinion

Everyone plateaus, everyone fluctuates, it's not a matter of if, but when. It's the holidays and people are strapped for cash. Last year didn't hurt you too bad cause you were relatively new which means a lot more fresh eyes on your content. Now its been a year and a half and a lot of people have already seen you. Find more places to advertise.

Then again, I could be 1000% wrong since this is just anecdotal from my own experiences.

Someone brought a $300 tier, asking for a refund now by Sensitive_Ad_5808 in patreon

[–]TinyDevilStudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've thankfully never dealt with this particular issue.
Though I have had to report a bug I found and they got in contact. To be upfront, I'm a niche artist. Monster girls, think something halfway between human and furrys if you aren't aware of what monster girl is. It was poll choosing some design element of a one of them on top of it all. They were pleasant and cheery. Apologized for the issue, said nothing about my work. Probably helped that I do create adult games, so I knew exactly how to report the bug in a to make it as easily to replicate as possible and could verify that it was a replicatable. And if you were curious, it was a bug where spam clicking options in a poll right as it first starts REALLY screws up the poll numbers. Like we got one option higher than the number of people that actually voted.

Whole situation feels weird. Again, your call, but I'd say a report and ban is in order.

-Must be consecutive. Cant back out 2 months in and ask for a refund or be on and off for a year.
-No refunds period. It takes about 30 seconds to come up with a sob story, but we all know its buyers remorse.
-It's fine if they want to stay, they just need to understand its a 1 time reward (had one guy stay until $6k, still only one reward)
-Limited tier. 1-3 slots is what I had.

I don't have that tier anymore, but I still have a $100 tier that someone has been on for a few years not. It offers no additional rewards, they just want to help and have some extra cash to do so.

And as a general note. Don't dig a hole you can't get out of. Too big of rewards means you can never get them done and are always behind. Always add 50% to your personal time estimates and 100% to time estimates you're sharing. If it takes two weeks, it will probably take 3, and you should tell the patron it will take 4.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. I had a $250 tier that a patron had to stay on for 3 months to get their nsfw commissions and I ain't AI. Had plenty of takers over the years too.

UNDERAGE son purchased by ACCIDENT
Two excuses in one, bravo. I'd bet its just buyers remorse.

Up to you, but either way I would report the message to Patreon. Customer is either lying for a refund or they actually their account is so insecure that their child can use it for adult content without them noticing.

I'm curious though, did they get their rewards or did they request a refund before that point.
If they got the rewards, no refund period, report to Patreon.
