As far as i remember, it's not. It got updated by the publisher ( and they had the update on hand months in advance, it wasn't a priority tho, since it was free and they had to translate it into Chinese). Needles to say you had the option to subscribe on Patreon, get 1.15 way before the relase on Steam for 10$ and call it a day. Else wait for the free update (that was handed to the publisher as soon as they published 1.15 on Patreon).Say you find the current game on Steam, which is already well behind in updates.
First of all, a Ren'py port was never a Patreon goal. Iirc the person who made the port reached out to the team and they worked together to do it. The team then decided to send the port to whoever was a 10$+ patreon on that day. All other people must wait Denpasoft to release it on their site/steam for the reason i explained in my previous post.I have an intense dislike of "you have to be subscribed X months to see benefits" type schemes.
You then track it to their Patreon and see a bunch of stuff and decide to support them. You pay in, and then when a post with an updated version in a new engine pops up, welp, sorry, no luck for you fam, you haven't supported the game long enough... and that's not stated up front anywhere either.
That's what I believe anyone would call a dick move, because the person in this particular example is entirely blameless.
There's nothing locked behind something like "At least xx months of subscription"
