Leaks (Patreon)

The last post before the release of 1.75 I want to dedicate to the topic of leaking of the game.

I will start by describing how unpleasant it can be when unscrupulous users leak your game literally in the first 10 minutes and only because you do not try to extra protect it. Though just wait two weeks and the game will be available absolutely free and with the full approval of the author.

For God's sake, wait at least 72 hours and even then our little team would have almost no sense of injustice. But no, it's important to do it in the first minutes, as if by this alone they show their disgusting attitude towards you and other people who faithfully support and do not engage in leaking.

Some might say, what's the big deal! What do I care if you don't get a few extra dollars!

In fact, with every version that gets leaked in the first few minutes of release, we're missing out on much more than even a few hundred.

If you count that over the long haul it comes out to a very large sum.
And, therefore, we are not able to give up our main job and thus devote more time to the game and its development.

Maybe others will say it's an advertisement for my game, and it's all good for it.
Unfortunately ,I strongly disagree with you, because it's an unpleasant circumstance that turns many people off from support.
Why support a project when you can just steal it or take it for free. This blocks one of the most important factors: early access and exclusivity.

Now, due to the world situation and the interruption of the Patreon system and many other payment systems in my region, we have to spend 40% of our income to get some support.

Why we're writing all this.

1.75 will be released in normal test mode very soon, and most likely it will be leaked very quickly despite any requests and exhortations.
Although we will additionally try to write to the site where this is happening.

Perhaps there we will be able to somehow agree and we will be listened to.

If we don't succeed, in the future the latest versions will always go through an internal closed test, and in addition we will think how to protect ourselves from such unpleasant situations.

If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave them here or in the thread on our discord channel, we will read them all.

Love to everyone.
