?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They sent the ren'py update to their actual (10$) patreons, as soon as they had it finished. That was not retroactive tho, since a big chunk of the steam/denpasoft sales cuts will go to the modder who worked with them. They said this guy did ports in the past and very rarely got paid by devs, and they found it unexceptable.
I would like to understand why you find it disappointing/questionable/whatever, but ngl i'm kinda afraid of your answer.....
I have an intense dislike of "you have to be subscribed X months to see benefits" type schemes.
As I said, IF what the guy I quoted said is true, then I'd be adding them to that list. Those types of schemes are a kick below the belt for anyone that newly discovers the studio and wants to honestly support them for whichever reason. Say you find the current game on Steam, which is already well behind in updates. 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 more to it than that, but this is hardly the place to extensively discuss my dislike of various Patreon schemes and whatnot.
Now, if what you're saying is true, then nothing of the sort is happening and the guy I was responding too had fake information. No harm, no foul and all that jazz.
