It is for saving your progress, right now it's the safest and 'fastest to implement' social login. Will add more options later ^^
I'm holding off trying this until a save that doesn't require cloud is implemented then. Call me old fashioned, but I like my game saves to store on my hardware and not be accessible to third-parties. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seems super shady having to log-in to google to play a game that isn't on google play and is single player with no ads or features that would require google at all.
No problem at all, now I understand your concern... Google login is mainly for saving progress and sending / verify Patreon rewards. Also we still send patreon benefit package manually (will be a problem if the google mail is different than the patreon tho). Patreon login is still new for us, so we’re adding it in the next update. If you’d rather use Patreon login, you can totally wait for that option 👍
Completely detest Patreon as a whole. Never made an account and never plan to because of things they have done to other devs such as stealing their funds and banning them solely for adding non-sexual minors to the story such as little brothers and sisters who have absolutely zero lewdness and are there for plot and immersion. I think I'll just pass on trying this, sorry. Thanks for the info though. Truly appreciate it. Thought this was just a typical visual novel game, not meant to be something needing to have an account for.
