0.2.0 Public Build
🕑 Added 2021-01-03 06:45:55 +0000 UTCSo as it turns out, the build has been rather entirely compromised. At this stage we are at a point where the only people don't have access to the full Patreon build are my own community that genuinely care about the game. After careful consideration, a very urgent $5+ poll and losing a lot of sleep tonight over this, I have decided to make the build public. I would rather everyone gets the full build from me and websites I enjoy working with / built my community with, rather than some dodgy f'kin website that now profits from ad revenue off my leaked work. I understand that not everyone is onboard with this decision, so more on that below. First I would like to settle one concern.
I am not setting a precedent. This will not be a thing again. While I am working on improving the security of the game, I am under no illusions that someone will pirate and profit off future builds. Such is life, and all I can do is make it pretty annoying for them for a while. This is a one-off thing I am only considering because I feel partially responsible for the leak. In hindsight the scheme I was running was pretty naive and I should have been more careful about how I share the Patron build. Mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned. Future builds will remain on Patreon for full 14 days even if they are leaked.
If for whatever reason you are unhappy with this decision as my Patreon and feel like I shouldn't have the money from your pledge this month, all I ask is that you don't refund it yourself, instead please use the poll below. I will issue a no-questions-asked refund for January to anyone who chooses a refund option before Jan 14th (original date where Build should've gone public), the refunds will be processed at the end of the month. Alternatively I can also give the money from your pledge to charity if you feel like that's a better use for it. Otherwise, the money will be as usual, used for further development, animations and art for the game.
I will update all game links across different websites as soon as I can, though it might take a bit longer than usual due to me being abroad.
Love you all

PS/EDIT: There seems to be some confusion in the comments and pms to me over this so just to clarify once again, if you want your pledge to support the game as usual regardless of the game going public before the usual 14 days, simply don't choose ANY option in the poll.

It's fine, but the leaked build was not a good representation of the quality of work I would have expected from myself as far as public builds go.

I found most of my Patreon subs on "pirate" website to just try out the game, since sadly there are most of the time no Demo or smth. with actual decent content in the game. Since the Games are mostly in early development, If I enjoy them I go ahead and research if they have Patreon or else hit the link on said "pirate" website. Otherwise I'll check the Forum's Ratings if the game got better or not. I probably wouldnt play or pay any of the Devs im Paying right now if I wouldnt have that way of finding the games I enjoy. (Probably paid more then 3000€ to different devs on Patreon). Also Steam is now blocking Adult Games in Germany so that path is also RIP. :/ If there is a different way of finding games and getting a good look at them than give me a lead O.o
