Whimfu1 here.
There’s been some worrisome news in the NSFW games industry. If you haven’t heard, both Steam and itch have been removing certain NSFW games to comply with Visa and Mastercard guidelines. I won’t get into the exact specifics but I personally believe there is a chance Patreon and, less so, Subscribestar could implement changes as well.
What does this mean for the game? It’s honestly lighting a fire under my ass. The new goal is to finish the game in 6 months.
This is a really hard task and I don’t take it lightly. I feel incredibly lucky the game is as far as it is to even try this. I will mainly focus on rearranging what I have but, don’t worry, new H-scenes will be added as well. What I’m hoping for is to finish the main story and return to clean up the side quests with the knowledge I could get deplatformed at any moment. I’m fairly confident I’ll be able to get the storylines for Leni, Luna, and Rita done in this time frame and I’d see that as a win if I could do that.
What if I get deplatformed? Let’s be clear, this is a huge possibility. As of this morning, 21,000 games were delisted from itch. It could easily happen here.
For now you can still follow the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/whimgames and the Subscribestar: https://subscribestar.adult/whimgames . But these may not be up forever.
Patreon has changed their rules in the past and Subscribestar is a prime target for the takedown. I will continue to work on the game regardless however, if it happens, the best place to reach me is my Deviant Art Account: https://www.deviantart.com/whimfu1
I did have an old blog as well but I won’t be updating that unless I get deplatformed. Still, this is the link to it: https://inchousegame.blogspot.com/
Now that you know where to find me, let’s talk about the polls and such. The polls to choose the next NPC will be accelerated. I want to know who it will be as quick as possible so if things do go down then the community will still have chosen them. I will be putting the pin-up polls on pause for a while as I do this so I can focus on the NPC polls and the game as a whole.
The public version of Inc House v0.105a will also come out today. It will likely be in the middle of the night as I’ve taken a long time to write this post. I won’t be able to offer much hotfix support as I’m jumping straight into v0.11a afterward. This sucks but I really think things may go down soon.
Thank you for all the support you have given Inc House. My wish has always been to get a finished game out and I won’t let the current chaos distract me.

PS: It stinks that I need to write such a serious post when I was so proud of the pin-up this week. I was going to even try some other cool things with it when this stuff popped up. Still, this week’s winner was the: King Pin and Mafia Wife Theme. Vote wise it was:
3 votes for Magicians Assistants
1 vote for the Nun
5 votes for the Mafia Wife
I kept it in the game’s style for this one as I’m hoping to draw some attention to the public launch today, however I’m gonna release it on it's own for now to get eyes on the post. Anyways, that’s it for now, talk to you soon.
