Quick Update
🕑 Added 2020-05-09 02:30:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Those who have their accounts connected to the discord (which I highly recommend) or follow me on twitter, will have heard that my Patreon account here had been under review for the last 3 days for supposedly violating the community guidelines and as such was at risk of facing suspension. Now, after a bit of back and forth with my contact at the "trust and safety" team, I was notified of just 3 posts here which contained images where at face value (when devoid of their full context) appeared to depict non-consensual sex acts.
In order to comply, the three posts in question have since been removed.
One was a post from 2018 featuring a screenshot from the Hitomi X Dr. Milburn Scene. The in-game scene itself has not been modified in any way since the sex scenes there are in fact consensual when given the full context, only the Patreon post containing the screenshot was removed.
The second was one of the 2D commission pieces done by GrownUpJizz. The one featuring Debra & Hitomi with a Bestial Zombie. You can still find this image on my twitter and at the discord.
The third was a post that was exclusive to Special Forces patrons, and contained the first half of the incomplete "Lara's Swim" image set from 2012. The post has been removed, but I have decided to finally finish editing the remaining images from this old set and post it over at my blog this weekend. So nothing will be missing in the end.
Just to reiterate, that was all it was and my page is now back in the clear and no longer at risk. Odd choices, I know, but there's really no loss here so nothing really to complain about. There has been no changes to the game and none of my plans have been altered. I just figured I would let everybody know what the situation was in case you were unaware of what I've been dealing with. I did open a SubscribeStar account as a back-up (though I haven't set it up just yet), but for now at least, I will continue to use Patreon as my primary platform provided there are no more issues. I want to focus on v0.08 right now as opposed to worrying about setting up another platform.
However, after v0.08 is out, I will set up my SubscribeStar properly so that if you wish to swap platforms you can support me there instead, in the event that anything ever happens to this page suddenly. But I will keep using Patreon as well for those who prefer to use it so long as it doesn't interfere with the development of the game.
Speaking of v0.08, as you can see above, I have begun rendering images for the "cum extraction" mini-scenes that will be added for the Stealth mechanic that I am adding. There will be scenes for all of the generic enemy types featured in the Day 3 casino areas that have a penis (Regular Zombie, Sewer Zombie, Bestial Zombie, Alpha Zombie). I plan on doing a Development Blog all about the Stealth mechanic once I have it implemented (hopefully within the next 2 weeks) where I will detail how it works in finer detail.
I will be putting out a poll for $5+ patrons and a sneak peek for $10 patrons shortly after this post. Thanks for your support and patience. Hope you're all still doing well. :)

Thanks for being open for other forms of payment Jim. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Credit Cards aren't as common and trusted in a lot of countries as they are in the US.
Jimjim
Apparently they take prepaid cards too, but idk if that helps your situation at all. Regardless, I know a lot of others will be in a similar position.
Jimjim
Perhaps pixiv fanbox is another alternative, but idk what their payment options are either. Plus they are japan based so genital censorship may be an issue with that platform. IDK. For now, we will continue as normal here though.
Jimjim
@nobody333, Yeah, I thought there were more options myself, but it does seem to only be be credit card or debit card atm. This is the reason why I will try to keep both open. And yeah, if that fails, I will try to set up some alternatives like a Paypal donation button or something for those who cannot get access to Subscribe Star for whatever reason, in the event that Patreon ever goes down.

I think the whole PayPal, Patreon, SubStar is one of the main reasons that Patreon is so strict with guidelines. PayPal doesnt want anything to do with "suspect themes" so SubStar gets no support from them, since they are more open to what content that you can have on their site.

Hi Jim, I went and checked the payment plans SubscribeStar offers. I could only see CreditCard as an option, which isn't an option for me. I'd like to support you, even if Patreon kicks you. Would you consider the PayPal 'Send-Money-to-a-Friend' method? Supports could set up a monthly Paypal payment and get access to discord and a private dropbox or something like that.
