well fuck, whats the point of paying for the "early access" and other bells and whistles if i can just have some dude pay for it for me and post it on here really makes paying for it not even worth it anymore since impy doesnt value her worth why should i ill keep my money and enjoy the free handouts thanks for making me waste my money
well you still get the bells and whistles stuff.

The often misunderstood reality of "supporters" is you aren't giving money to buy anything technically, you are an investor.
There is NO legal definition for supporters outside of political action and charity so from patreon to subscribstar all supporters are investors, who offer funding with the express understanding that they will not receive profit for their investment, only an eventual finished product.

I happily give to several projects that show up for free on this site in their full supporter version simply because it keeps the indy-porn game scene going, and I also download and play plenty of projects I dont pay anything for without concern because I know plenty of people think like I do and will invest in those projects while the games get shared.

The point is to create and maintain a community, not everyone can chip in the same and thats fine. The important thing is to not get too full of yourself and overestimate your own contributions. The caveat here though is sometimes you have to hold off sharing a bit so new devs can find their audience and make a little to motivate them.

TLDR:

Its not about what you get its what your helping to bring into being. Creators want people to enjoy their work, sometimes with motivation for making a little scratch but mostly because they want to be appreciated. You can still appreciate the work and demonstrate that however you feel you're able.

Have a look a few posts back, you'll see I believe exactly as you do (at least if a creator is going for the $$$ aspect, I'm not, nor is Impy now I know but some creators do do that), and made the same point in terms of economics. HOWEVER I also was the one who asked for alternative payment methods and explained the potential buildup of those looking to pirate the game, she made the decision regarding her work which as it is HER WORK she can do, I share a similiar view for why I create, not exact but similiar. I will NEVER tread on someone elses personal autonomy, she made the choice and from that point on it was here is the screenshot and I report the update when the guy posted it earlier, everyone have fun. IF there is, like you a drop in subscribers then that is up to her and her choice. When I thought she wanted to protect her subscribers and the $$$ i did that, when people asked stuff I relayed that and when she clearly stated her views on piracy I also supported by doing what I've already said. Because that's really it isn't it? Supporting and encouraging art, whatever the artist intention? If that intention changes or is clarified, you still support, just in a different way.

I used to be in the $25 tier until Subscribestar basically kicked me off because, apparently, my card number is invalid all of a sudden. Is there really any other way to pay? I really want to help support Impy.

Just tried a visa gift card and that didn't work. looks like I'll try a visa pre-paid card. in the meantime, could someone drop the 7b Mac downloable link?
Until it's posted or if you are in a hurry I believe there is software for MAC called 'Wine' which allows you to play PC games on Mac computers.

Cetra bullying Percy like she did on the route where he starts getting it in with the girls was a bit of a downer, lol. She went in on him. Espa protesting at first was also a little rough even if it was only a line of dialogue.

I don't quite remember how the story was before, but I remembered Percy not caring all that much so in my head he was there to just have island adventures and get paid with his friends, it made it pretty light hearted.

It was NTR from the start, so rough scenes were a given, they just snuck up on me. The game is great though so I hope they keep it up.

can i use notepad to take the dress off or i gotta start again?
Well to manually change TO the dress you need to put (copied from Impy):

Do you mean that you've added it into the save file? It won't work because Percy uses a different character for the trap version. He won't have the correct event list associated with him. If you want to switch between the two by modifying the save data, add "PH xchange" into story triggers in addition to switching the skill name to "Seduction".

So I assume it will be the reverse process for you, deleting PH xchange and changing the Seduction skill to something else.

Wine doesn’t work with my Mac. And prepaid cards don’t work either, so I’ll be supporting Impy by playing their games when they become public.
