oh, no trouble man, apologies about the misunderstanding with the public and early access versions.
🤔 If you got the early access in 2022 it may have been the Patreon Platinum Tier, so you made a patron pledge, right?
ℹ The last version you downloaded should display the build number and release type when you start a new game.
The early access should not be available to purchase here,
but require a Patreon tier to unlock it instead,
maybe it redirected you to a Patreon tier, right?
I guess once the platinum tier pledge is paused, the early access may not be available to download from itch either. I should fix this mess.
The public release here is one-time purchase only,
so you can get all the updates to come just getting it once,
after I get them tested and ready in early access.
If you need more assistance, let me know if we can contact by twitter or discord 😀
thanks for your feedback!
