Seriously. Seems like half the games out there STILL have secondary links to Abandoned Mods and dead Threads. Or no link to a current Mod that has been picked up by another Modder.

togs has said on his Patreon that he's keeping the latest versions of the game private as part of a closed beta cycle while he works out the bugs with it. He also said that v12 won't be out of beta until he releases a version of it to the public on his Patreon page. The latest version that he has released to the public was v0.11.11, which my mod currently supports. The latest of the beta versions that togs has only released to his patrons is v0.12.05, which means that anyone who currently has it either bought it or obtained it illegitimately. Once a new version of the game is released to the public, it will be out of beta and I can release a new version of the mod to support it. I will continue to update the mod when that happens, but there is no point in trying to work on it now before togs has all of the beta bugs worked out.

Great to hear. But could we please ask for a small one-time save compatibility patch with JokerLeader's modded version(which I assume shouldn't be impossible since this mod is based on it) so those of us who want to switch over to JokerLeader's modded version without having to invalidate all our saves and start from 0 could do so?
I promise never to ask for anything else from you ever again and it'd give a concrete option to "opt-out" for those people who're not ready to wait.

I wouldn't even know how to do that. I put in so many custom variables, and allowed so many preexisting variables that should've been one or the other to be "all of the above", that I don't know if I can make WT+ saves compatible with non-WT+ versions of the game. And I really don't have time to try.

Honestly it's not a thing that's even worth trying. Anyone that installs mods on these sorts of games has to accept the fact that they might have to restart on occasion because of save compatibility issues. It's an obvious risk you're taking when tampering with the game in a way the Dev never intended for.
Besides this is a visual novel game, restarting is just a matter of fast forwarding through dialogue you've already seen and redoing your choices. It's not like there's any difficult gameplay challenges that need to be redone. Restarting can be tedious but yeah it's not like if there's anything genuinely hard blocking you from fast forwarding back to where you're supposed to be.

Exactly. I do want to continue work on the mod, but I feel like I would be contributing to piracy in some small way if I released a mod that contains modified game code of a paid-only private beta of a game whose creator thinks it has too many kinks in it to be public. I want to support the game, not the opposite. And also, I want the base game to be in a good place programmatically before I mod it. I've already had to add embarrassing safeguards into the game for programming mistakes I've made in past versions, and modding an experimental version of the game before it's ready seems like it could cause something like that. But this mod is not dead; I will return to it eventually. If the public release takes too much longer, I might just break down and make a new version anyway.
Besides, the more we wait, the more content for our chosen paths will be available, instead of maybe 2-3 scenes.
It's definitely reassuring to hear again that you're still Intrested in this mod. From what I've seen on the patreon I'm letting my hopes grow that we're probably not too far away from a public release. I mean the game is now on version 12.11 where as the last public release was 11.11 so we're already matching the number of patches it took for the game to be public ready. I'm kinda hoping that it's either next update or at least within the next 3.

The latest version, Build 1214 - PC, just came out two days ago, but it is only available to togs's patrons. I currently don't have any way to access that version without paying for it.

It got updated here as well.
Looking forward to your update.
The variable changes have really messed up the existing WT mod by Joker.
