The public downloads on my Patreon have been taken down, which includes v0.5. I'm talking to Patreon about Ashley, and it's finally coming to a close.
Per Patreon's terms of service, I cannot link to anything against their terms of service. At the moment, Ashley is against their terms of service but is being fixed as we speak. If I were to mention Itch.io on Patreon, Patreon would see it as a direct download on their site.
Would you rather I take the $5 build down, and cheat patrons out of what they're paying for? I personally think that would be a bad idea.
I don't want my Patreon to be banned, as it is my only source of income and is my only job.
The point of Patreon is to support creators. Patreon is not a platform like Steam to sell things on. I'm not selling anything, rather I'm providing incentive for people to support me. Incesntives are found on each tier. Patrons still get their rank in discord, and still get their custom art. Everyone is still getting what they're pledging for. And aside from that, like I said, Patreon is a platform for members to support creators by donating money.
