Good news
Added 2021-04-13 05:47:51 +0000 UTCGreetings everyone,
It looks like I’ve been able to iron out the problems with Together Again and my Patreon account with Patreon’s Trust and Safely team.
After some deliberation, I’ve come to thinking that the best thing to do going forward is to make 2 versions of Together Again. Firstly, the Patreon version, which will adhere to Patreon’s regulations. Secondly, the more risqué version which I’ve retitled Slave Of Passion and will be available through SubscribeStar.
Both games will be very similar. The only difference will be small changes to dialogue, removal of tears and lessening of whip marks during sex/punishment scenes. Again, let me reiterate: Differences between the two versions will be minimal. For those that don’t read the dialogue closely or don’t care much about small details will probably not notice any difference at all.
Therefore, for you guys, the patrons who support my work, this is what I’d recommend:
1) For those of you who...
- Prefer the kind route
- Aren’t so interested in the harsher side of the game
- Are not bothered about minor changes
….I would remain with the Patreon version (Together Again)
2) For those of you who...
- Want Together Again as originally intended (albeit with only a few minor changes)
- Prefer the slightly more risque/harsher themes
...I would consider subscribing to my SubscribeStar page
(To find my SS account please go to itch.io and search pinktea)
I hope I’ve found a way that will satisfy everyone's needs. I have to say that for myself, it’s a relief to both be able to continue here on Patreon, and to be able to release an alternative, unaltered version on another platform. It will be a little more work for me, but it’s a small price to pay in exchange for doing what I love.
Thanks everyone for your understanding, and feel free to ask anything if you have any questions, either by posting below in the comments or PMing me.

Pink Tea
2021-04-17 07:38:07 +0000 UTCI'm having a similar issue, unable to find your subscribestar.
2021-04-17 07:28:10 +0000 UTCI sent you a message
Pink Tea
2021-04-17 07:03:21 +0000 UTCI cant seem to find you on substribestar. Any ideas?

2021-04-17 06:29:15 +0000 UTCOf course, SS is more lenient on what they allow, so I won't have to water anything down on there.
Pink Tea
2021-04-16 23:58:29 +0000 UTCOk So I transfer on Sub Star, it's sad to split the community tho. Just hope we will get the same content...
Marcmad
2021-04-16 18:20:17 +0000 UTCOh, I see. Sure, you can notify me on SS or on here, if you want your name added to the credits page.
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 14:15:36 +0000 UTCI know for long time supporters your name could be added into credits. If you had been a supporters for a while
mark
2021-04-15 14:09:10 +0000 UTCFor what purpose?
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 13:54:08 +0000 UTCDo we need to notify you of our name in subscribe if we have been a longtime supporter?
mark
2021-04-15 12:03:28 +0000 UTCI can't distribute those through Patreon, unfortunately. I will PM you some more information
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 10:41:53 +0000 UTCIt is really sad to see that Patreon can have a say on how you express your talent. I am perfectly willing to fund your creativity and freedom of expression as I'm already doing, but if you are being forced to self-censor then the whole concept behind the Patreon platform looses its meaning. On top of that, I do not trust SubscribeStar. What shall I do? Is there really no other way to remove just your downloadable content from Patreon and deliver it differently? Just as an example, you could have decryption keys delivered through Patreon for files which are hosted elsewhere like for example a Google Drive account, a Mega account or whatever. Only Patreons can then access the content. Compressors like ZIP, RAR and 7Zip already support as much encryption as you need.
2021-04-15 08:31:12 +0000 UTCFor itch? Yeah, that's true
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 05:37:08 +0000 UTCYou need to create an account and set it so you can see adult content
John Spender Alexander
2021-04-15 05:01:18 +0000 UTCI certainly have to be more careful from here on out, especially on Patreon.
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 00:42:34 +0000 UTCThe link is on my itch.io page
Pink Tea
2021-04-15 00:41:51 +0000 UTCwill this impact future developements? I fear patreon is trying to drive you away from your niche if you already had to take older games down
DDK
2021-04-14 22:32:20 +0000 UTCMaybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I can't find your subscribestar link and would love if you could direct me to it. I've been on this patreon for over two years now I want to keep supporting your work.
2021-04-14 21:00:41 +0000 UTCIf that´s how patreon gonna behavve i illç be happy to tak emy money of of here and do it on SubscribeStar.
Peter T
2021-04-14 20:45:01 +0000 UTCMaybe not as trustworthy as Patreon, but seems OK and legit so far. No worries anyway, I'll be posting pretty much the same stuff here!
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 10:12:25 +0000 UTCSubscribestar let's me sign up in Russian? It doesn't feel good there, instead i'll try to keep supporting you here and fetch the real version through the less legal channels such as f95 and so forth... too bad, but I really don't wish to get myself a subscribestar account. Sorry.
Daison
2021-04-14 09:52:17 +0000 UTCYeah, it's a shame I have to watch myself and not push things too far, but everyone has to compromise once in a while.
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 08:34:05 +0000 UTCBloody shame, too. I'm really into more of the dark roleplay fantasy like your slave trainer games. I hate censorship, and I've always wanted to give Subscirbe Star a try. So long as you keep working, I'll support you. I really wish you didn't have to go through hoops of fire just to post content. I believe all creators should have the freedom to do whatever they so long as it's not harming anyone..
2021-04-14 06:00:30 +0000 UTCSounds good. I've noticed that my games are also shared on f95zone so you can probably find the other version there, if you wanted to.
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 04:46:06 +0000 UTCYeah I’ll switch next year them, cause just bought the year plan of warg tier....
2021-04-14 04:31:56 +0000 UTCOK, thanks - hope see you over there
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 01:32:21 +0000 UTCThank you Pink Tea. I don't wanna miss out on anything your games have to offer so I moved my subscription over to SS. Been having to do that more and more lately thanks to Patreon's censorship policies...
ElCrazy1
2021-04-14 00:54:47 +0000 UTCAs far as I can tell it's the banks and payment processors. Yeah, it's always perplexed me how gratuitous violence is western games is completely OK (GTA, Manhunt, God of war to name a few) yet anything sexual is forbidden. Our Christian values, I suppose. It's fine to massacre heathens, but god forbid your penis goes anywhere near an anus.
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 00:29:00 +0000 UTCOf course I'll be posting any new games up on SS as well as Patreon. The difference (if there is any) will be that the SS game builds are more likely to have unedited content. As you say, there may only be a single version of future games, but I'm leaning towards making 2. One for SS and one for Patreon.
Pink Tea
2021-04-14 00:24:48 +0000 UTCI wonder what or who is pressuring Patreon or if its just the normal American prudishness. And I'm American and I understand it but don't want it. This isn't the first project I've supported that has changed. I mean the standards are different in text versus images. And its just fine to have dismembered body parts and gratuitous violence in an action setting but heaven forbid you tell a story that might have a little dark sexual elements. It sounds like 50 Shades of gray probably would be blocked on Patreon.
Timothy Cowher
2021-04-14 00:05:16 +0000 UTCI think you’ve made the smart choice by having both. It seems like it’ll give you a little more work but we appreciate the effort you put into these games. I do have some questions though. Going forward when making new games will you also post them on SS? And will there always be two versions one to conform to patreon and the other your original vision should they be more risqué? Personally I enjoy the games you make so I’d like to play them how you intended them to be.
Cris
2021-04-13 23:18:18 +0000 UTCThank you. Yeah, it's better to have more than one income stream as well, in case one of them suddenly disappears.
Pink Tea
2021-04-13 22:30:09 +0000 UTCTechnically yes, though i'm sure people will share the game on certain sites.
Pink Tea
2021-04-13 22:29:18 +0000 UTCIt won't be much different. If you're not bothered about small changes there's no need to switch, I think.
Pink Tea
2021-04-13 22:28:40 +0000 UTCSure thing.
Pink Tea
2021-04-13 22:27:45 +0000 UTCOkay :)
Pink Tea
2021-04-13 22:27:36 +0000 UTCSee you on the other site! Glad to hear all is sorted out, I think this is really the best of both worlds, and I personally love the risqué stuff you do ;)
2021-04-13 20:58:57 +0000 UTCIf I want to have the subcribestar version do I need to support you on that site as well?
2021-04-13 20:51:44 +0000 UTCIs this months update going to be much different? If not I will switch next month.
mark
2021-04-13 18:19:19 +0000 UTCI'm not a fan of tears and whip marks so I'll stick with my current account but if you are worried about your next game I'll switch over.
Nathan Phoenix
2021-04-13 17:13:46 +0000 UTCEh I don't mind the tears or whip marks gone in rough types. (But I am one of those kind route types.😅)
