Before the paid version was first leaked last year, the process was to subscribe and download, and then I would share the paid version for free with the next build release. Later, I switched to a hybrid model of an online version paired with a privately distributed offline version, which has taken a toll on the progress of game development. Due to the current leak of this version, I will need to implement a better security mechanism and have decided to publish the game online only until the issue is resolved.
I sincerely ask the community to support the development by refraining from playing the leaked version, because:
- I include information intended only for the designated recipient, and each build is unique to its intended user.
- Leaks delay development progress, as I must spend more time protecting the game rather than developing it.
- It adversely affects the quality of development.
- Future development may be abandoned. Even though you might receive one or two versions in advance, the leaks can demotivate us to the point of potentially abandoning the project.
