I see a lot of different similar games run through a Patreon with mixed reception from the community, so I'd like to hear your say as to what you would prefer be your method of acquiring and playing the game.

Right now we're thinking of having a free demo that is short and fixed content, instead of an ever updating free version a week or more behind a Patreon update. Voting for either of the "Gives you a Key" options, would be opting for a public version and a patreon version, where you as a patron would have access to both as long as you are a patron, and then only access to the public version after leaving.

The other thing that we have in mind is that Shackles of Ellswyn will be a series of games set in that universe, and rather than having one game product that we constantly work on for eternity slowly adding tiny pieces every month, we have a fixed story plan written out, and the game will fit it's planned scope, and then sequels will introduce new characters and so-on.

Don't see an option that is your preference? Have any questions? Write in a comment below!

The real question is which is the most convenient and easiest for you?

Please dont lock it behind steam. Option A is the best one. Some of us will have to stop supporting some months due to other finicial challenges. But we could return the next month, and would like a easy way to grab the newest version if possible.

I don't care Steam because this platform blocked almost all adult games for all players from Germany.
