We're really sorry for the disappointment, but our Itch.io players are absolutely in no way second class customers to us! Please allow us to explain:
As mentioned in the post above, the reason we are unable to put the female player first look on various DLSites is because these platforms are not built for hosting testing builds like Steam is. Steam supports convenient game branch and version switching for both developers and players.
To put it frankly, the female first look in its current state is nowhere near finalized enough to be shared as a live stable release with all players like Itch.io and other DLSites are built for. It has known bugs, broken cutscenes, it's missing content, and so on. It's very early on in development, and it would be wrong of us to replace Itch.io's normal version of the game with a version that is intended only for very early testing.
If the Itch.io platform and other DLSites were built for version switching, we would put the female first look on them in a heartbeat. However, these websites are not built for that, so we're really sorry, but all Itch.io players WILL still get the female update when it is eventually in a better, more complete state for stable release.
We're very sorry for the disappointment this caused, and we understand that you might think we're jerks for this, but you are absolutely not and never will be second rate to us, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding about the platform restrictions of Itch.io.
