Hello, to answer your question - nothing's changed with how I release content for this game.
I've always updated the public version after new content comes out and it's always been 2 versions behind. The difference is that in the past, I'd sometimes release public versions of the game early.
There's always been an option for people who want to support the project. I don't plan on changing that as the people who *do* support the game are directly responsible for more content creation. Without them there would be no Heavenly Peaks.
