Hey there,
I hope you're enjoying the new version so far and not finding many bugs ^^
Anyway, I've seen some people are concerned about what Meguido said in the release post about some data getting exposed if crackers crack the game.
Meguido already tried to clarify this a bit to avoid any fear for what this means:
"Well I'm not that bad of a programmer as you may think. Talking about "possible" exposed private info is more like a way of talking. I also pointed on discord how it would be hackable in a locally way. There's two sides on here, the game side and the server side. Hacking the game side exposes nothing to anybody (and that's what I mentioned I don't care about, I mean, I know piracy is something you have to live with) the other side, the server one is better protected against attacks. And it should be useless to try and hack that. But even if that happens, you can only get access to a not-that-sensitive info, even less than hacking something like a forum, and that's just an email. Not even I, the admin, can get access to passwords or any other important stuff, so I can guarantee everyone that no important info can get hacked (unless they hack Patreon, but that's has nothing to do with us because that's something that can happen to everyone and that would mean hacking a platform like Patreon), apart from email (which I still consider important and thus why the warning I gave with the release).
And now as for the DRM stuff, we never thought of it as a DRM system but more like a way to work with the unlockables system placed in game. We just wanted to give special rewards for patrons nothing else. That's explained in a long post we published before the release one and that's public. I thought it shouldn't cause all this drama, mainly because the game it's FREE. That's why I don't see the point in pirating it. I mean if everyone just waited a whole long year for this version, a few more weeks it's nothing... why the rush then? :S
Anyways, I hope this kinds of "fix" the fear caused from what I said in the release post. Sorry about any troubles caused with this."
So even with this said. We decided to give you the choice. You as patrons of us, what do you preffer? Keep the log-in system going or rather get rid of it?
Please vote, the choice is yours. We want you to feel confident and happy on top of all.
