On the one hand I want to play the game as soon as possible, on the other hand I don't think Neon wants to release these versions so soon, but on the third we are on a website for pirates
so I am confused
I'm waiting till the 7th he said there will be a few extra released scenes with the $5 tier and the public release I think id have to look a few pages back but im about to head out for a bit.

NeonGhosts I tried playing through this current version from my last save point which was in the 0.4 update. I am encountering tons of page errors, I can ignore and continue on, but I feel like I am missing some important stuff. If I am the only one encountering this ... then I guess I will have to do a brand new playthrough.

Eh.. I got my money, and there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.

I’ve been pretty adamant about not pricing people out of early access to the game. Which is why my highest tier is $15. And as time’s gone on, I’ve taken steps to make my tiers more affordable. The $50 tier I had at the beginning dropped to $15, because I honestly felt some anxiety over some kind souls giving me $50/mo. My $15 weekly “sneak peek” feature dropped to $5 this year.

If I really wanted to start fighting piracy, I’d start releasing it at $30, $40, $50, embargoing it for a month or more, sending out DMCA notices, and being a general skinflint dick about it. Orrrr I can keep doing what I’ve been doing, and focus on delivering solid weekly content to my regular supporters who have been so very, very good to me.

I like making stuff, and I like cultivating a nice little community. I don’t necessarily see the chapter releases as the sole product. It’s the weekly dev updates I do for free, the $2 NSFW art feature I do bi-weekly, the $5 weekly ‘sneak peek’ posts with script samples and advance art, the $15 playtester builds, and THEN the chapter releases. Plus whatever nonsense I post on Discord.

So, am I thrilled people don’t want to wait for the improved $5 release in a few days? Not really! But, it’s out of my hands, so I’m not going to sulk about it.

Pirate sites continue to drive a lot of traffic towards me. So, I’ll take the good from that and try to entice as many people to sign up and support me, by delivering the best possible content I can week-to-week. Because that’s really the only thing that I can control! No use sweating the rest. :D

You are doing great. Best content ever seriously. My favorite is Viola and the photoshoot girl btw xD. You can make some cool wallpapers or renders or some short special scenes and release them for $50. Don't feel anxious about it, there are some people who live in ivory towers that would love to support you. But the rest of the way you do is great, don't change it.

I've personally just never been a fan of the Patreon model. I can appreciate that it works for some people, and I'm happy it exists as an option for creatives; but I just like to purchase stuff once and be done with it. No joke, I bought one of those lifetime 'subscriptions' to Nebula so I don't have to deal with a monthly subscription. So if you can manage to get this up on Steam or Itch.io whenever you finish it, please do, and I'll make sure to grab a copy then.

NeonGhosts, is Guy ever going to wear anything other than his pajamas? I get rich people and eccentricity but this is :HideThePain:
He’s in different clothes by the end of the update! :<

Sounds like you installed a version that’s not compatible with your previous build. Probably a Friends Indeed/Friends in Need conflict. Or a patch issue.

I don’t generally get hands-on with the uploads here, so I have no idea what versions people are uploading. Unfortunately I can only vouch for, and troubleshoot, the files I actually control and upload on my sites.

If you like Viola, I recommend you to read her short story it's on the first page in extras. Just read it, and adds quite a bit to the character. I didn't notice the extra lore was there.

ah right okay so the 0.4 is uncensored correct? and does it need a patch or no?
The 0.4 is the uncensored and it is the old update. The new one has been leaked here but might be updated in the main post only when it goes public (in a few days). I don't recall if it needs a patch, but I don't think it does. The 0.55 we have here is the Patreon-friendly version, in other words, no dark routes.
