Update Tier Time + Piracy
🕑 Added 2025-08-17 11:24:59 +0000 UTCHi y’all!
As I’m preparing the new builds now, I just wanted to quickly talk about two things:
First, update timing for all tiers: As always, the Exclusive tier will get it first. And since everyone’s super excited, instead of waiting a full day for the VIP tier like I originally planned, I’ll shorten the wait to just 12 hours. So yes, Exclusive still gets early access! 😍
Now about piracy: You’re fast! 🤣
Honestly, I remember back in my teenage years when I couldn’t afford anything (or even access most stuff), so piracy was my only gateway to culture, information, and, most importantly, education. Without it, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today and would’ve struggled a lot more. So, shoutout to all the heroes out there! 🤩
That said, I’d like to ask just one small favor, if it’s not too much and if you don't mind: wait for a few days or weeks, maybe?
I was just about to update everything to Chapter 6 so we’d still be fairly close to Chapter 9. And that means that we would go straight from chapter 3 to chapter 6 for free. But now I guess I’ll have to update to Chapter 7, since Chapter 6 is already out there for free. 🤣
So yeah, just a little delay would really help! It would give us a chance to grow our community here on Patreon and let Emily have as many boyfriends as she wants. 😍
But hey, if you think there’s a better way to handle this, let me know in the comments or on Discord! I’d love to hear your thoughts and how other games deal with it (without being jerk about piracy, of course).
Alright, back to final testing now... just a few more hours to go!

Thank you for your opinion! I've decided to focus only on Lending for now, and not on the other project. I'll delete the other tiers to avoid confusion and let everyone know later this week, I don't want to shift the focus from Lending today since we're all excited about the release. 🤩 As for the timeframe between tiers, yeah, I’d like to shorten it a bit in the near future. Also, I just checked LeStag, he actually has 3 tiers, and I only have 2 for Lending. Thanks again for your opinion! 🤩

Chapter 6 was same day. I literally saw it on a site I use before I even knew from Patreon that it had been released.

Regarding piracy, look into your tier system. Release time is set pretty far apart. But so is the price. I'd guess this is to get people to pay the higher tier. But 22 dollars a month is a pretty high price. So I as a supporter have three choices. Pay more than I feel comfortable with or choose the 6 dollar tier, and then pirates might leak it before or just after anyway or public release. That means I have two options really, don't pay at all, or pay the 6 dollars and risk not having any benefits at all. Also high tier more money per, or drop the high tier and get more people pay the 6 dollars. A guy like LeStag has 1 tier, 6 dollars, he can make a decent living from that. Even with somebody always leaking the game within hours of release. And then add that even though you develop two games our support only gives access to one of them, so that's 12 dollars plus VAT if we want access to both games. That's money that I can't use to support another developer, then I have to choose which of your games I like better. This sounds negative but it is not meant that way. I just like to use fewer words, and English is not my first language. I wish you all the success and look forward to both games to evolve.
