I have received a message from Patreon support team that some aspects of the development of Total Seduction may be in violation of the new Patreon rules implemented last year. This has hasted my decision (which I have contemplated for some time now) to stop with the development of TS. The game is already big enough to be considered completed and frankly, it's old version of engine was slowing me down at the expense of newer projects. So effective immediately I will not update TS on Patreon anymore and remove the game from this site. The game may still get some patches in the future (mainly bug fixes and translation packs), but they will not be announced here any longer. 

From now on I will focus on new projects. The main will be of course the Warlock of Lust, which will get more substantial updates from now on. However I kind of like the model where I alternate between two games in development and I already have a large database of objects, like furniture, from modern settings. Therefore a few months ago I have started with a development of another game. I have planned to publish it after the game has more of a content, but this situation has changed that. Instead, I will publish a demo of this game this month. It will be public just for my Patreon supporters so they can see what I'm talking about. 

The working title of this new game is "Life of Holly" and it is an open-world life simulation game. That means, you must eat, rest, relax, have a job, buy clothes and do all the stuff you normally do, but involving a lot of sex, of course. There is no main story (yet), but there will be a lot of small stories/quests that will form your characters. The main protagonist is Holly from TS, but I'm planning to add a male main protagonist in time (so there will be a choice to play either as male or female) and from that point on, the game will basically became Total Seduction 2. Right now, the game has already a larger play area than TS (there will be a entire city), a skill tree with more than 70 skills and many other new, exciting features. I will wrap up demo for the game as soon as possible (cca. 2 weeks from now).

I understand that many of you had come to this page because of Total Seduction and I thank you for it. I believe we have made a great game (hopefully first in a line of future games). I'm hurrying with the demo of Life of Holly so you can see it before the next billing period. That way you can have a better idea what projects will the development be focused on right now, so you can decide if you will continue with your support. Thank you all for your patience and let's make even better games from now on.

What a shame. Zealots destroyed another one good game.

I would be hesitant to lay all the fault at Patreon's doors, there was a uproar last year regarding this and many creators signed an open letter to Jack Conte CEO of Patreon regarding what was deemed as censorship. The key distinction is what is illegal vs what isn't and then you go down the route of 'Is it porn or art?' it's a very interesting debate with certain creators being deemed as fine and others not. The other thing to consider is that some of this is as a result of the paymasters themselves. I work with Pornhub and their paymasters are the same as patreon's, namely: Paypal. Even on Pornhub there are certain words not allowed in videos or in comments, typically that mirrors what happens here. About a year ago the page suspensions were extremely high. Then out of the blue Patreon moved it's financial transactions to the UK, the Financial capital of the world being of course the UK and Canary Wharf, London in particular. This got paypal to be wary a bit and the rate and severity of the page takedowns slowed considerably. The problem is that Paypal, Mastercard, Visa etc DON'T allow pornography through them. Porn companies still have to payroll via BACS transfer or IBAN Transfer through traditional bank accounts. For Patreon it is often being stuck between a rock and a hard place, if it is the paymasters exerting influence. The 5 areas that are illegal or not allowed on Patreon are: Rape, Beastiality, Incest, Underage & Necrophilia. As long as this isn't in an artists content most of the time Patreon let's live. That said what I have written above is to be deemed allegedly and personal opinion and should not be taken as fact nor intended to be acted upon.

Sorry to hear that. I've definitely enjoyed playing Total Seduction. I will look forward to future games and options. I can't help ask though, I heard of Sandbox mode in Total Seduction. When I find the cure, everything ends. Help please?!??

mvelesk

i was not able to replicate that problem, but i will make a big bug-fix patch in a near future to get the game into a final version. thus i will look into the problem once again and hopefully fix it.

I'm OK with the end of development of TS, after all as you said it can be considered a completed game. What I'm not OK with is the "life simulation" mechanics to be included in the new title, I really hope there will be cheats to avoid all of that stuff, or at least the boring bits.

mvelesk

no worries, the simulation stuff will be very light and will be focused on sex. all jobs will have sex component, money will be mostly to buy clothes, sex toys and things like breast augmentations. there will be basically only three stats: energy, arousal and hunger which you must balance. and of course, there will be cheats to skip grinding.

"Don't be sad that it's over be happy that it happened". Which that said , i am looking forward to your new projects. Hope with your new engine, you would be able to implement a way to reuse old saves. As you said, TS did become quite big and complete, which make redo everything from the start became a hassle, and that made me worry about WOL and LOH, once they become big enough. And the issue of forbidden content, i do hope mods are still available.

Cheers mate, all good to move on and not get in trouble. Keep it up!

Hoff Man

This might sound selfish considering you want to move on from TD, but I would love you to still work on the mods for that game. For example allowing Taylor and Mae to become pregnant because they can't as of now.

Lee Thompson

I'd rather see you go to SubscribeStar or something for TS, if it's gone, so am I - sorry.

While TS is what brought me to your patreon, I'm not sad that it's ending. I felt for quite a while now that it'd be better for the game as a whole to get performance updates and bug fixes rather than getting new content. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to do TS2! Does anyone else get slow down in the school when all the characters are there?

Hoff Man

Ye it also usually happens when Ms. Mullins (Principal) is in the restroom after or during class... can't remember.

Alexincity

Well, again, patreon fucking with developers.

firstly FUCK patreon. secondly, as i told you before i really think the best thing to do right now is to move on to TS sequel, new engine, option to make old save file work, dont skip the story missions i actually loved it! the problem is that most of the new ones kinda sucks... im not sad that you stopping the work of the first one cuz its kinda enough.. but for the rest of your projects keep it up! thanks !

ok (sad) but : - is it normal that there's no link to download ts from your website ? - your tumblr redirect to porn junk spam

Back in time, pregnancy in games brought me here in the face of TS. I love what TS become through the years. Leaving this project and seeing that you didn't wrote even once about pregnancy in your new projects will lead me to leave you too... sorry Mike, i love your work, but i must watch my interests too!

Nooooooo please, continue with TS. I find it beautiful, don't abandon it. I like this game too much.

I'm here because of TS. I'm not interested in Warlock. I can give a chance to a new project (and my support), but I need to know what fetishes you plan. greetings

mvelesk

the demo will be out next week, and it will have a complete skill tree for view - most fetishes will be displayed there, as skills will basically unlock them. but in short, it will have mostly the same fetishes as TS (except forbidden ones by patreon). LOH is also an open-world game, so it is not limited by story. i can add new fetishes into it anytime i want during regular updates, so there is no reason why some fetish would not be there.

Well, you're fucked then. Total Seduction was nothing LIKE finished, and Warlock of Lust can never be finished (or at least never have a proper resolution now that you can't properly settle things with your mother and sister) either. So now you have to drop the game that attracted most people to your page and even if you do keep working on Warlock it's going to be to no real end, so you have to start over with an all-new project. That's doom.

Hoff Man

Tbh a game is done when the creator stops working on it, plus he never said he would stop fixing it up or adding additional features. Let the man move on to another game, if you read his announcement he had been working on TS for years now. I think a new addition would be nice plus he said the TS engine was holding him back.

Please continue uploading new TS updates. Even if you don't do it on Patreon, do it on your site. Please!!!

If incest is a problem, why don't you change the story? Let Charlotte be a friend of MC's mother, Lila the daughter ..... Then you create an incest mod, and we're all happy!

Don Banini

You should really think about switching to subscribestar; there have been a lot of shady stuff involved patreon clearly showing that their political bias comes ahead of the interest of their clients...
