Usually you'll find an artist elsewhere and they will lead you to their Patreon. The actual website, Patreon, doesn't do a great job of letting creators showcase what they're working on, and they don't have a way to browse artists.
I'm pretty sure Friendship with Benefits is a My Little Pony adult parody game. It actually did very well on Steam. So much so that I believe they're working on a sequel.
Advertising isn't something most of us can afford, so it is a very niche market. itch.io used to be a friendly place where adult creators could showcase their works. They've recently become more hostile towards us. There are some pirate sites that can introduce you to new works, but they're essentially stealing from creators.
Yeah, it's a tricky situation. I don't know that I have a great recommendation on how to search Patreon for great artists. The only suggestion I can make is to look at https://graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/adult-games. That'll show you the top adult gaming creators. Sadly, I'm not in the top 50.
Oh please no, do they make it really difficult for even adults to get these games now? I finally tried to use these sites and they try to ruin them?
Well thank you. How does it work with Patreon? Do I always have to pay again only for a new update?
My biggest fear always was (probably stupid), that patreon kinda hides the "stop supporting" button and keeps you paying for a longer while till you figure it out.
I understand. Patreon and SubscribeStar are my only options right now, so I rely on them almost entirely for income. I know a lot of people want to buy a game once and be done with the transaction process, however there are no places I can currently sell some of my work. I'm truly sorry about this. It's something entirely out of my control.
A quick Google search brought up the process for cancelling a Patreon subscription. But yes, you have to pay again for every update. It's only a couple dollars, and you can always wait until a game is finished, then subscribe, grab the game, and cancel. Currently on my Patreon, you can get three complete games for $3. It's an absolute steal.
This is just the world we live in right now. Companies are going to tell you what you're allowed to enjoy. All we can do is fight the good fight and push back however we can.
