Possible, but improbable. Ren'Py is an open-source engine, so unpacking and repacking is quite straightforward. Here some enterprising hacker would have to reverse-engineer whatever format this game uses and write their own unpacker and packer. Used to be a common enough activity during the days of 7-games-on-1-CD piracy, but those people were paid professionals, not horny enthusiasts.

I agree that it would be a smart marketing tool to let people at least try a product before having to buy the whole thing. In the videogames field it's actually common practice as it is on Patreon. Still, it's up to the developer to decide how to market his own games. It's up to the creator to decide whether even a small part of his work will be given away for free or not, and rightly so.

"Cheatcode:"
"galleryunlock": "All scenes in the Gallery have been unlocked!",
"galleryunlockfree": "All free scenes in the Gallery have been unlocked!",
"allepisodes": "All episodes have been unlocked!
"unlocksex": "All sex scenes will be available in the selected episode, regardless of previous choices.",
"ep5partymenu": "Quickly replay the Halloween party selecting any companion you want.",
Also use the Cheat Table to unlock the Patreon chapters and Platinum Bonus Scenes for all scenes.
Note - To use the "allepisodes" cheat - you need to create a new profile and start a new game - Then add the cheat code.
Added to the OP
For those who don't understand why cheats don't unlock normal gallery for chapters 8-10:
to solve this, on main menu screen, you need to select each chapter (8 to 10) individually, and for each selected chapter apply cheat "unlocksex".
Another unrelated note:
Btw, cheat "galleryunlockfree" doesn't work because the game makes it impossible to write the "free"after "galleryunlock".

Well a big part of why I like your game is because of the high quality renders and animations. I feel like lowering them could harm the reputation of your game. I would hate for you to sacrifice quality for file size. Perhaps you can look into splitting your game into parts if you feel it is too big.
Also, where is the patch to increase the animation quality? (I would like to see the improvement) Is it part of the new update on ITCH or it is a separate file on Patreon? [For Windows PC]

The update on Itch is the same as here. v0.10.4 Win/v0.10.3 Mac. Don't believe it's out yet, could be wrong

I played v0.10.2 . So I was asking if the "patch" to improve the animation quality was part of the most recent ITCH update v0.10.4 or if it was a separate file posted only on Patreon.The update on Itch is the same as here. v0.10.4 Win/v0.10.3 Mac. Don't believe it's out yet, could be wrong
I see on their Patreon page there was a post on Feb 16th about a "Quality Survey" so maybe it was discussed or posted there:

Not sure since it's locked. Although I am checking discord as I type this and don't see any mention of it there either.

Honestly, I have noticed anything, everything seemed top-notch to me, but then again maybe I don't have as high as expectations of others for animations, I thought what happened at the end of Chapter 10 was purrrrrrrrrttttyyyy hot
So, if there was any wonkiness' I didn't notice
Surprised you didn't' get v0.10.4 to play with the extras though, unless the latest platinum was with v0.10.2.

Just passing by to give you guys a little update on the development of the next installment of Shale Hill Secrets. Despite the peaceful ending we had in the last episode, we had our dose of love, mystery, and adventure. We mean, MC and Leah put up an Ocean Eleven’s style heist, right?
Anyway, putting our moments of happiness aside, we know that mystery and danger are still looming in the air. All those people in the basement with Alexis, amongst other weird stuff… Things keep escalating and something must be done to put an end to all the crazy shit that is going on in Shale Hill.
Well, we don’t like spoilers - and we believe you guys don’t love them either. So, we don’t think we should talk much about what’s going to happen in the next episode. Just know that Episode 11 is on the way and everything is developing as planned. Stay tuned!
All the best,
The Love-Joint Team.

care to explain cheat engine then? just saying you can easily bypass things without ever explaining how isn't helpful if you've never used a tool in the first place.

check "cracked chapters" on the first page. That should give you the answer you need.
Basically, CE allows you to change certain parameters of an active program/process by accessing them through data stored in the RAM. In this case it unlocks content that is hidden under paywall. And for more info you can do what ReaperGD said, because in that thread there is also a link to the CE wiki.

Is it possible to "get friendly" with more than one of the LIs without things getting too tricky?
So far, without spoiling too much, You can just fuck around with the LI's without any severe consequence.

This VN has me hooked now. The story is full of imagination, the renders are excellent, and the narrative is structured, convincing and often though-provoking. I do think that the Floyd part was a missed opportunity to take a darker, more ominous twist, and the resolution, while imaginative and witty, seemed like a get out of jail free card rather than an impactful chapter; I would have also liked to have seen Maggie portrayed with deeper, emotional scars rather than [in my eyes] a simplistic introvert. But having said [wrote] all that, this is a WONDERFUL VN. It makes me think, it makes me guess, it makes me search for clues [boink, boink boy!?] and I'm entralled by the plots and the story. The H scenes are really good, and the LIs are, in general, lovely and compelling. Nicely done L-J.
