Here's a question i've been meaning to ask a long time ago.
Why do game devs put cheats behind a paywall?
I guess mainly to entince people to support but still it's kinda weird in my opinion.
Mainly because for a game made on RenPy (and some other engines), the moment the game gets released(or leaked) to the public, the cheats will be public too.
Not intentionally per se, but mainly because a user can just look into the code and find out the cheat by themselves.
Neither do i get the point of changing it between releases. As i said before, the moment the game goes public the cheatcodes will follow suit.
I mean sure, you could encrypt it or something but like, whats the point anyways, it's not like you can't edit the variables manually with the console or a save editor.
By the way the v0.9 cheatcode is chillingStare as it is, capital S and everything
Also what the hell am i getting credit for? I just checked Kyle's patreon and there it was, public release.
Heck, even the link i gave was his.
