v.0.17 Released for all Tiers and Public
Added 2024-04-29 08:06:18 +0000 UTCI'm sorry it happened once again, but the update has been leaked 10 minutes ago on some sites. Now you have it available for all tiers.
You can find the links for v.0.17 here.
Enjoy!

Is the least I can do. I am sorry that a disrespectful player has leaked the game, so the fair thing to do is to not held it back

2024-05-01 21:18:12 +0000 UTCIt is, but it's the plague of indie development. As I said above, I will try to minimize it with a new strategy, let's see if it works.

2024-04-29 22:01:09 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, it will happen again. I will try to minimize it by removing the free trials during the Tier cycle, although it's unfair for the players who want to join "lawfully", but I should try to give the subscribers what they have paid for, and that includes the exclusivity days.

2024-04-29 22:00:09 +0000 UTCThe first and second time it got leaked some months ago I got angry and depressed, now I'm obviously not happy, but my way to cope with this is to work harder to compensate all of you for the exclusivity days lost.

2024-04-29 21:57:07 +0000 UTCThe least I could do. I've always said this community deserves the best.

2024-04-29 21:55:06 +0000 UTCSome day, the leakers will discover that leaking a game 8 days earlier is no benefit to anyone. If they don't leak the next one and I publish it in 30 days, the free players will have to wait for 38 days because they received this one 8 days earlier, and then the cycle repeats itself. My previous releases say that, on average, I get ~10 Daphne's new patrons, ~8 Erika's, and 12 Scarlett's in the last 8/9 days. Of those, half will not renew, and half will remain in the community. 86€, that once Patreon gets its chunk becomes 70€. When there's a leak, you should add to those 8-10 cancellations in the first day and ~20 the next days. So put the loss at ~100-150€ Not a lot of money. But for some devs struggling to get enough income to cover their development expenses, not my case or Moon's, it can be enough to kick them out of the market or for them to think it's not worth it.

2024-04-29 21:54:38 +0000 UTCIt's the least I can do. I'm proud of the community we are building here, so I should treat you the best I can.

2024-04-29 21:44:46 +0000 UTCThere isn't any way to know who has done it. To be able to do it, I would need to do a set of compilations for every single patron, marking their game with their name. Imagine doing 600x5 compilations and uploading each of them to the download servers. It would be undoable. The least I can do is to do some damage control. If it's leaked to the public, I release it here for every one of you.

2024-04-29 21:41:37 +0000 UTCI think it should be done this way. If someone in the tiers that were still waiting can get the game on a pirate site, from an unreliable source, what sense does it make to be here? At leas here they have the official links.

2024-04-29 21:40:21 +0000 UTCS/he leaked it on the anniversary. So I will take it as his/her personal present for all the free players. It sucks for all the people on lower tiers who have waited patiently, but I can't do anything about it.

2024-04-29 21:38:13 +0000 UTCThat’s fucked! If the person who leaked it happens to read this, you’re an asshole.

2024-04-29 16:56:41 +0000 UTCI understand the desire to play earlier, but still people should respect the order of things, trop has been more than fair and good with all players, hope it doesn't happen again.

2024-04-29 15:29:01 +0000 UTCReally sucks that someone would do that. I wait patiently for every release to reach me. Don't let this Ahole bring you down!

2024-04-29 12:46:01 +0000 UTCsame thing happened to moonbox last week. I agree with all the others who posted here

2024-04-29 12:17:47 +0000 UTCThanks for the way you handle it. But the way it has to happen sucks

2024-04-29 11:36:22 +0000 UTCAnyway you can figure out who did it?? It has to be someone in Daphne's tier or above!! They're right though, you treat us very well, even though you don't have to!!
Metal Man
2024-04-29 11:17:55 +0000 UTCFairly disloyal of the leaker, but thank you for your way of handling this (it reduces odds of their leak spreading malware "bonuses" to nil). Props to you for treating us sheeple good! :)

2024-04-29 08:33:02 +0000 UTCThat sucks to hear Trop! Especially after that celebration video. I don't know why someone would leak it
