Wow, I can't believe I finally finished Episode Four. And you can't believe it, either! Development of this episode was much longer than I anticipated, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Yes, it's dark, but come on, the game opens with a woman being beaten to death in front of her child, so I think I've appropriately set the tone.

Anyway, the Biggest Supporters got the game a few days ago, and the rest of you will get it Tuesday. I really hope you enjoy playing it. Or if you don't enjoy it, I hope you are at least engaged enough that you'll come back to see what happens next. (Is watching Schindler's List enjoyable? Okay, Episode Four isn't THAT dark...)

One of my favourite games got an update? Hell yeah, can't wait! I forgot, Impious Monk , is there a Public Release scheduled or...?
Steam, Itch, Patreon, SubscribeStar, all on Tuesday. But not a free release from me, if that's what you're asking.

I think Episode Three landed here about a day after I released it to my Patreon/SS.

when is the release for bigger supporters?
Supporters and Bigger Supporters get it at the same time, which will be on Tuesday. Biggest Supporters are the only ones who get it early. My long term Bigger Supporters certainly deserve to have it early, and I have some in that tier that are big fans and very loyal and/or who have been with me for a very long time. However, I've got a few dozen people in that tier and once I give it to them it's pretty much guaranteed that someone in that tier will leak it here. And I don't want the zone to have it for free while there are paying fans in the Supporter tier or on Steam and Itch that are still waiting to get it.

that's actually very smart!! This is actually the first time i saw a dev implement that kind of mechanism.

I saw another dev implement a different no-leak mechanism a bit differently. For any new subscriber, the dev still won't let the subscriber get access to new chapter links. The patrons still have to wait some weeks.
That kind of mechanism sounds like punishment to me and it turned me off.

You on the other hand just stop high tier subscription so newcomers can't even join. Yours is way better cuz that way potential subscribers won't feel punished.
