Hello, may I ask a question about the Itch version of the game? As I understand it, you update your game approximately every four months. The latest version of the game on Itch is 44, while on Patreon it is 47, meaning that the game on Itch is about a year behind in updates. Why don't you want to delay the release on Itch by at least 2 or 1 updates? I understand that it is a one-time payment for the game, but a 1-year delay in updates is too much.
Thank you.
Hello,
Patreon versions are developer builds, which we internally refer to as alpha builds. These are provided to supporters, and in addition to supporting the project, they also help by beta-testing these early versions.
As development continues, we fix the issues reported in Patreon (alpha) builds. Once a build is stable, it is released to public stores such as Itch.io.
This means Beta 44 is actually our latest production build, while Beta 45, 46, and 47 are still in development and only internally available to supporters.
I hope this clarifies things.
Cheers!
