Tiers.
Added 2023-12-20 20:03:25 +0000 UTCStraight to the point.
- From now on new patrons won't be able to download new updates for a month.
- Tier V 's "Your story comes to life in Golden Mean" removed and replaced with name in the credits.(All already requested stories will be finished)
- Tier V now have access to pre-release version.
About month restriction. It's for patrons who join, grab and leak... I mean leave right after. You asked to do something about this. And here you go. Now I will send links via Patreon's DM.
For trustable users- almost instantly.
For all the others- I will make uniq game build with watermarks/code changes and so on. And if this version will be leaked- you will be banned.
Why now?
Cuz update is ready but not proofreaded/tested yet. But it's shoudn't be a problem for Tier V patrons.
Release for Tier IV should be in a 2-4 days.
See ya.

Hello. Seems like I'm not that smart to understand a problem. If someone ain't want to support development- just don't. It's their and their money only and people can do whatever you like with em, right? You can't support but want to play? Just wait a bit and get it for free on itch. You want the game at the same time as it was released for patrons? No. About reconsidering. I admit that this rule makes more harm to a people who joined just now, but if everything will be alright- i'll remove that rule for Tier II pretty soon.

2024-01-15 10:12:25 +0000 UTCI've been supporting many developers for a couple of years now. Most of them also constantly for many years. Honestly, as much as I understand that you want to protect your work it feels like a supporter of second standing having just started support for you. I really feel like there should be better solutions than to keep supporters from the most recent built of the game for 30 days. I feel that it is not really giving people an incentive to support in the first place and could potentially harm support in the long run. Looking at all the games I have supported I feel that most successful were those that delivered good content and were supportive of their community. Granted, sometimes it just doesn't work out for whatever reasons but I think than in general this will be the way to go, not generally 'punishing' new patreons for the misconduct of single individuals. In the end this is your game and you are the one to decide what to do with it. Hopefully though you will reconsider the current regime though. Your game is great and fun and deserves support and I really hope that more people will feel that doing that is worth their investing.

2024-01-15 08:18:07 +0000 UTChi dev. i'm new this month, you have a great game. for your post, since subscription time is 1 month, your 1 month restriction probably will get you less new patreons. i think decreasing it to 10-15 days would be better.

2023-12-20 20:42:34 +0000 UTCIt's actually useless to fight with piracy. I just want to make sure YOU will get update faster than ppl who doesn't care at all.

2023-12-20 20:29:06 +0000 UTCI will make links for 0.3 public here and create Itch.io page with a 0.3 free version as well.

2023-12-20 20:20:16 +0000 UTCDope. One thing you might want to consider though, downloading a leaked build is how I became aware of the game, and what made me look you up and support you. Maybe you should post some public demo, like 0.1 version in public post, so new people can try it out and decide.

2023-12-20 20:17:26 +0000 UTCI agree with this change. I just started supporting this game in october and have been supported 7 other games before this one. There have also been several games that i supported get shut down due to lack of funds due to people downloading the game illegally.
