Regarding the Alpha (Patreon)

Hello!

Just wanted to give a quick word regarding the alpha. Unfortunately, due to the link being leaked — and the sad truth that any other link I post would be immediately shared — I had to take it down. I'm currently researching other options on how to share my game so that both my work and your generous support can stay protected.

I'm probably going to use Moody.ink from now on. It has the option to Restrict Acess so that only pre-approved logged-in members can access the game.

But I'm still working out the kinks. Regardless of that, however, the new alpha link will be up by Sunday, the 9th.

I'm sincerely sorry for this disruption, and I apologize to all the people who wanted to play the game and found the link broken. I hate to have disappointed you in any way. I'm really incredibly grateful to all of you. ♡

Have a great rest of the day, and I'll catch you all tomorrow for the Progress Report! I have a lot to share. 😋

A little update!

Thank you, first of all, for all your well-wishes and kind messages. They all put a smile on my face. ♡

So, I've looked into Moody.ink, and it has restricted access, but... it requires you to make an account using an email and picking a username. It's that username that I can add to the restricted list to allow access.

This is all good in theory, but what I realized is that there's nothing stopping the leaker from simply making an account using a throwaway email and sharing its password and username with whoever they choose. Yes, it'll make them have to work a bit harder to steal my work, but I don't believe it'd stop them.

And it would only make it harder for you, the people that actually matter, and myself, so I don't think it's worth it.

To the person leaking my work: I hope you're happy with yourself. All this does is make me wary of sharing anything now, and it will probably mean that when I'm in the later stages of my game, I won't risk sharing it here or anywhere. I'll have to keep it completely private.

The new link is on the previous Alpha post — it'll stay up for a month, then I'll create a new one. It doesn't have any new content, but it won't be long before I add it. 😋

All the best, dearests. 🌹
