[Important!] From version 0.2.0 forwards
🕑 Added 2023-04-09 16:41:00 +0000 UTCLet me say this first and foremost: ALL active Patrons before v0.2.0 goes live will always have access to the newest update as soon as it comes out!
What do I mean by that? Well, I'm changing the release schedule of public updates and some Patrons tier.
During the early stages of the game, I want to have as much feedback and attention as possible so I released the public version 1 week after the Patron's version came out.
Doing so has really helped me build the foundation of this game (Did you know that in the first version, the MC doesn't even have a personality and is a silent protagonist? Yeah, that was changed really fast haha).
Now, the game is getting its 10th update ( Yay! ). When it goes live, the foundation is pretty much complete. So my goal will be to focus on sustaining the game financially (and myself, honestly it's mostly for myself).
So, when v0.2.0 goes live, I will delay the public release 1 month behind Patrons, and change tiers benefit:
- All active Patrons before v0.2.0 goes live will be considered Legacy Patrons and will have full access to the newest version as soon as it comes out.
- New Tier 1 Patrons will no longer have access to the newest version as soon as it comes out. But they will have access to sneak peek.
- New Tier 2 Patrons will also no longer have access to the newest version as soon as it comes out. But they will have access to polls.
- New Tier 3 Patrons will have access to the newest version 2 weeks before public release, as well as 2x voting power.
- New Tier 4 and above Patrons will have access to the newest version as soon as it comes out, as well as 2x voting power.
Furthermore, all Legacy Patrons will also have access to the benefits of the new tier, which means Tier 1 Legacy can now see sneak peek, Tier 2 can vote in polls, Tier 3 and above will have 2x voting power.
Why am I making this change? Well, the short answer is I want more money.
The long answer is, to be honest, the reason I made this game from the start is to make money to fund my real passion project (another game that I am making). At first, I only wanted to make a simple story and spend the minimum amount of effort on this game, while using what money it earns to fund my passion project.
Well, things didn't go as planned, I actually got invested in this game's story and characters, thus spending way more effort on this game than I first planned. Because of that, I don't have much time left to work on my passion game.
That doesn't mean I want to push Lustful Sin to the side to work on my other game, after all, there are people who actually like this game and want to see it grows, unlike the other game that I have kept on my computer for a few years haha.
I want to work on them both, and to have time for that, I need this game to make as much money as my current job so I can quit it and have more free time. I may be a bit too optimistic when I say this, but I expect I can reach that goal within a year.
Also, I want to commission cool monster models for MC and Wrath's backstory.
Well. that is all I have to say regarding the new changes, let's hope this doesn't bite me in the butt haha.
And to all Legacy Patrons and peoples who are interested in the game enough to read this, you are here during the first few steps of Lustful Sin, thank you!
Next week's update will continue the main story as well as Eri's first quest, so stay tuned!

Well, I hope things go fine for you. But now I'm curious, that other game of yours has similar theme as this one?
Mokona
So...Not like you will need more money and spend more time before release to make story become more attractive.... And the short answer is you want more money with long update...I understand....
