Why? The version become public when the new update is ready for supporters. In the worst case scenario, if the update delay a bit(like mine), the update become free after month or two.
That how it works. That’s hobby, but I need money too. I need to pay electricity bill, to buy Daz assets(yes, I bought assets that I used).
Because beside Subscribestar, my itch.io sales are 20 bucks for now.
So, have a patience. My updates always become free.
