Without a doubt, in the indie scene we can find video games of all kinds: from classic platformers to shooters. Of course, there is also a place for experiments aimed at the adult market.

What happens is that Toffer Team, an independent company dedicated to developing exciting video games, has taken to their Twitter account to announce that, unfortunately, PayPal has frozen all the income they got from Kickstarter in order to produce lip! The Lewd Idol ProjectA visual novel for adults in addition to other projects.

“PayPal has permanently closed our account and withheld Kickstarter funds for development lip! The Lewd Idol Project. Today it was us, and tomorrow it could be any of your favorite adult content creators,” Toffer Team wrote on top of the tweet.
