I miss this game. When do we expect to see EP 4 here ok itch?
Hey! From here on out, and until the game is complete (sometime next year presumably), the itch version will not be updated again. That's also when it'll come out on Steam.
You can get EP4 on Patreon though.
Have a great day,
BCG
Hi BCG, thanks for the heads-up! I just subscribed to your Patreon — I truly love your work. The passion and care you put into Moonripple Lake really shines through in every detail.
That said, I’ll admit I’m a bit sad to hear that the itch version won’t be updated anymore. I totally get the need to focus your efforts, and Patreon support is crucial — no one can sustainably create great work for free. But I also think Itch can be a powerful ally for indie devs like you.
Itch.io is a unique platform where your game can stand out and reach new players organically, unlike Steam where the sheer volume of game releases makes visibility a real challenge. As you may know, on Steam, that first week post-launch is critical — if sales don’t spike early, the algorithm tends to bury great games under a flood of lower-effort ones.
That’s why I think keeping the Itch version updated occasionally, even in smaller ways, could help build more momentum ahead of your Steam launch. More players discovering and sharing your game now = more buzz and better odds of hitting that crucial visibility window on Steam when the time comes.
Anyway, I just grabbed EP4 and I’m super excited to dive in! I read you were going through a tough time recently — I’m really glad to hear things are better now. Keep going, your talent and the heart you put into your work is something special. Can’t wait to see where you take this project!
