Is there an uncensored version of this game, or a patch that we can obtain?

That game, along with some others that all pretty much have the same storyline (e.g. Project Sage and Arizona Unbridled) were from the same dev. Lustful Instinct should've become a remake of Primal Desires.
Those games all have different dev names. Rumor has it that it's all the same person, who starts those games, leaving them unfinished while collecting revenue via his Patreons. Although he was banned from some platforms over it, I have no way to either verify or falsify those claims.
If the claims are true, then he is rather dumb, really. For the games in their completed forms could have established him as an eroge VN-dev whilst generating much more income in the process. Unlike with many other devs, I feel that he has a good grasp of what makes erotica stand out from plain blunt pawn.
Alas, it's safe to say though, that Lustful Instincts and the ones mentioned won't be continued anymore.
Thank you for responding.
Here on itch.io, you offer some free demo versions. Is there any technical objection to add the payed version here as well, with a minimum price set?
Frankly, I don't understand why you included the link-to-itch condition altogether. I am on quite some Patreons, an you are the only dev I know to have this construct. Would you, pretty please, reconsider it?
Please allow us to buy the game here, or cease forcing Patreons to link their accounts to this platform!
I'll gladly pay for the game, but I stopped my patronage because every time there's a new release, I need to argue with the dev to get a download link.
It shouldn't be necessary too, since devs on Patreon can open a store for patrons. Why not just publish the game there.
I'm having the very same issue here. Somehow, my account got flagged for spam, and for like two weeks now, I can't post anything anymore. Since support hasn't responded to my plea for all that time yet, I presume that they find my account ready to go, even though that's not what I see.
I responded by replying to the ticket in my dashboard, but to no avail.
Same issue here, and the itch.io team is utterly unresponsive :( for three weeks now. Some algorithm flagged my account as spam, even though I can't find even the slightest hint as to why that was in all my messages up to a year back. They haven't even informed me which post(s) triggered the algortithm.
How long should I grant the support team to respond?
If your next admin is going to be someone you don't know personally, you may want to agree on a code that you can give him (a word or phrase, a numerical code or a chess move) that you can occasionally ask him for authentication. Tell him ofc to delete the DM in which you give him that code.
Also, change your password every 3 or 6 months to stay ahead of brute force attacks (i.e. someone using a program to spam passwords on your login page until one works), and ask your admin to do the same.
If you have the possibility to do so, you may want to set up your website so that, after like 3 failed password attempts, the user has to wait 15 minutes before he can try again.
And finally, I myself store my passwords on a USB-stick, so that I can keep them offline, and still have them at hand when I need to.
I'm happy to be of help of course, and even gladder to find you back in business. Welcome back!!
Kindly,

That sucks, man!
If the website was run from a computer, not from an external organization, I recommend that you re-install the operating system as well, including the software that's on it.
Make sure to find out how the hack took place. If you want, I can invite you to a Discord where techno-kids and white hat hackers meet. You're likely to find people there that can advise you about cyber-security.
For me, the entire game is without animations. The dark street, the brothel, the tavern, the book store, the forest and at home I know for sure to be static. And in the guard's post. There may be some places where I haven't been yet.
The game says that the models should be different as well, which doesn't happen for me. The game behaves quite as if the animations folder doesn't exist. That folder, however is accessible both for reading and for writing.
I don't mind using itch.io. In fact, I'd prefer that over Patreon. I just don't want to link accounts together.
i had issues before when I linked my Patreon account to my Discord: Patreon installed an app behind my back which then made me join all creators that I am a member of.
Furthermore, I don't want to make databrokers any wiser than they already are, to prevent being spammed by "offers" or sites making selections of content, based on my presumed interests.
Found your DM after some searching btw. Patreon required me to visit a separate page for it.
My Discord name is also Arikania, Plase do invite if you please.
