Android and Mac latest versions are now included in my post.Android port pls
For versioning, the '.' does not represent a decimal place, but acts as a separator between versions. Typically it's 'major.minor.patch' versions (though this drops the 'patch' version), so 0.9 => 0.10 because it's the 10th minor version. A 1.0 version would be a major version increase, usually reserved for the initial full release of something, but doesn't mean they can't add more content/patches with a 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, etc.If you intend to do that it would make sense to name previous version as v0.09. Though my initial question stands, how complete is this one?
For that particular choice, if you select "Continue watching", 2 numerical variables are incremented and another variable is set to "True". What impact that has on future releases remains to be seen.Azienda still loving the game. Quick question though, do the choices lead to different paths or just "see this scene" or "don't see this scene" plus a little post scene dialogue changes? In other words, in this update we had the "continue watching" choice, does that affect her future or just the next scene?
Thank you for updating the Android version!Workupload download link - Windows

However, this is the reality that it creates. We feel it is probably emblematic of the experience a fair number of you have and we don’t blame you, really. As much as we want your support, it’s hard to argue with free.I was considering getting the version of patreon but it was out here before i could lol. Not to look gift horse in the mouth but ...
Relatively new to this site and this was something I wondered about since the beginning. Like, these are threads started by/where the developers of the game could read and interact with fans, but there were also people constantly leaking the latest versions without the creators saying anything about it? Always was weird to me.Hey everyone,
We thought long and hard about posting this message, but after looking at the way things have developed since the new year and talking to other devs who are having similar experiences, we decided we wanted to say something.
We get that this is a pirate website and, of course, you guys want to get your hands on the latest release of the game as soon as you can. We are glad you guys are so excited about our content that you will pester people to leak the update and hail them as heroes when they do.

So, as a result, these early leaks are incredibly damaging to our financial well-being. Since we first started releasing Turning the Page, there have been exactly two months where our Patreon pledges have shrunk. Those are the exact two months where the update got leaked on this site the day it came out.
We are getting to the point in our development where we would like to start contracting others to help make improvements to our game in a variety of areas, but when all the effort and money we put into the update gets leaked on the first day and our numbers decrease, it is very discouraging to see.
Now, if we were making enough money to feed and house ourselves already, that would still be annoying, of course. However, considering our current financial situation, these leaks are more than an annoyance. They scare us.
From the beginning we have tried to make things accessible to our non-patron fans by making all the content free after some time, with none kept behind a paywall. We want to continue this and continue making games for all of you well into the future. However, if we never progress beyond this state of financial precarity, then we will have to stop them altogether. I don’t think any of us want that, but it is a matter of practicality.
So, if you like the game, and want to see more of our work, please consider supporting us in whatever way you can. Whether that be reviewing the game here or on itch, recommending it to others, becoming a patron or simply not begging for a leak, particularly right after release. It’s hard to describe how much all of that matters and how much we appreciate it.
Thanks for reading and have a good day,
Azienda
It's not just that the leaked version is free; when the dev tells you that the new update is going to be much smaller than usual, it's hard to justify paying so much (even if it's for perfectly understandable reasons). I can't speak for anyone else, but I looked at what people had said about 0.10 and decided I'd rather wait a month and play 1½ updates at once.However, this is the reality that it creates. We feel it is probably emblematic of the experience a fair number of you have and we don’t blame you, really. As much as we want your support, it’s hard to argue with free.

they pretty much already do that though. for top patreons get it on the 20th other get it on 23, next tier at 27. Non paying get 20th the following month.It is nice to see a dev speak up for themselves.
Few bits of advise:
Create schedule for your releases and stick to it. It is best to release same day every month, that way people will easily know when is next version coming up rather than learning about the release from here.
If that is not possible then announce your next release like week earlier on your patreon with date and possibly hour when patch is being released - easily visible to anyone visiting. Make sure you release it on time.
You may be shooting yourself in the foot with early releases - if people see the patch here before they expect it to be out....
Try to not release on same day as other similar projects.
Have website that links to patreon to access download - that way leaking is not as simple as sharing a link and for many leakers having to upload the game is too much work.
