Hello! I've got a special announcement to make:

I've just sent the first batch of Steam Access Code emails out! That means that 1000 of you should be receiving your free Steam code any minute now. The remaining 709 of you will get your email sent out tomorrow [ Google workspace has daily limits on how many emails I can send like this, so I had to split you guys up ]

PLEASE READ THIS:

Every single paying member of this Patreon will be getting a code!

You will either get yours today or tomorrow.

Your Steam access code email might go straight to your spam folder! It is a mass email from an email address your computer won't recognize [ it's not from Patreon ]. So please keep an eye on your spam/junk email folder for the next two days.

The subject line is: Your YKMET Strade Steam access code

Your Steam access code email will go to the email address that Patreon uses, so whatever email address you get notifications of my Patreon posts on, will be the same email address that should receive your code.

The emails will be going out today and tomorrow, so please wait until Friday to message me if you still haven't gotten your email [ don't forget your junk folder! ] and I will be able to send your code to you via Patreon DMs

Here is a help article if you don't know how to use your code to get your copy of the game: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2A12-9D79-C3D7-F870

Remember this will only work after the game launches on the 15th!

Thank you all so so so much for your support! I'm so happy to be able to give you the game after all this time 💚

Dream Wolf

Reading a lil rn and apparently if the key is region free it can still be used? Not sure how key creation works

tr4v3rs3-t0wn

Thanks so much Gato!! I saw the email before I saw this Patreon post and I audibly shrieked! Thank you so much for your hard work on this game and I am so hyped to play it!!! It honestly blows my mind this is even happening. I still remember playing Strade's route nearly a decade ago for the first time (time sure does fly!) and to see it getting redone is so mind blowing.

Dumbpupvt

Omg so excited me and my buddies gonna have so much fun playing this!

Bentley

thank you so so much !! i can’t wait to play it :’)

carousel

SO EXCITED 🔥🔥

Gatobob

As far as I know, there was no options for anything to do with region when I was creating the codes- I simply asked them to generate a bunch of codes for Patreon supporters. My guess is that maybe the game just won't launch in Germany... but I truly have no idea 🤔

kapibara chan

whAAAAT fr?? Omg this was a great day to be a panty and stocking and BTD fan.

Lividity

Gatobob

don't worry, I was just copy/pasting from database files, I definitely wasn't reading each email addy and sending them one by one 😂

Gatobob

No need to be anxious! If you don't get your email you can just ask for a code on Saturday!

dogfood69

Star Dust

OMG YOU MADE MY DAY😭 I was sick in bed for over two days and now I feel more recovered after receiving the email😭 Thank you very much, really!

Gatobob

it looks like were already included on the list 👍

megan

godd, it really is that soon now isn't it oml. time flies!! i was wondering, is there a method/option if someone plans on getting this with itch.io? if not i'm more than happy buying it normally c:

kapibara chan

The new episode for basically season 2 just dropped today :)

Gatobob

It will be mentioned in the email, but basically people who want an itch.io code instead must wait until I have the game posted and then they can ask me for a code

Masked Foxx

Lol I spent SO long being patient for this game that it took this post for me to realize YKMET is actually about to drop. I sat here, kinda dumbfounded on why you would be giving out keys over a month in advance, then it clicked. Can't wait to play, thank you, Gato, you beautiful human being <3

megan

makes sense!! thank you for the answer :)

Otterly Deplorable Art

The way this announcement just made my whole week (☆▽☆) I can't wait to see the email in my inbox- and I can't wait even MORE for the game and it's release next week!!!! So much love for you and your art, Gato- I hope you can feel the love we all have for you (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

SproutMole

Omagad 🥺🥺 kisses for you💋💋

Strade's Kitten

If we would prefer an Itch code instead, how do we request that? Or is that only for people in places who can't access Steam? I try to avoid Steam as much as I can, as I don't like that if they decide to remove a game I own, that I can no longer play it, so I usually use Itch if I have the option 😅

Gatobob

Anyone who would prefer an itch.io code can have one, but unfortunately they must wait until I put the game up there around the 22nd [ I can’t generate a code for a game I haven’t posted yet there ]

Strade's Kitten

Oh thank you! Do I just delete this Steam code and contact you once it's released on Itch.io? I do prefer the reassurance of knowing that once it's downloaded they can't just take it away whenever they feel like it, unlike with Steam 😅

Gatobob

Yup! You can just message me or comment once it’s released on itch.io and I’ll send you a code from there

kajerone

Aaaah this is so kind thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

Max

Hi gato! Sorry for the unrelated question please ignore if you're busy 🙏🏻🩷 Do Lawrence and Ren/Fox have voice claims? I remember Strade had one. Also awesome work! Im so so excited to play YKMET with updated Ren and Strade I LOVE their new designs! 🩷

CROWVILLEX

WAHHHHHHHH I'm so excited!!! Thank you for all your hard work, Gato, I can't wait to see all the love, sweat, tears (and blood lol) you poured into this game in action 💜 🛐

LykWolf

Thank you gato, for your work, for your time, for everything you have done. <3 I have received the email last night and I was very very happy ( am still jumping around the house don't mind me ) <3

Rin

eeee so exciting!! thankyou gatooo hopefully the code comes through soon so i can immediately save it 🙏

Vincent Vagner

I'm super excited for this!!! personally however, the game is not actually available in my region on steam. Is there any way to get around this, or does it not matter with codes? Either way, I'm happy to buy it anywhere else!

Gatobob

People who can't play it on Steam can request an itch.io code from me after I publish the game on itch.io [ around the 22nd ]

edwin

I CANT WAIT TO PLAYYYYYY IM SO EXCITED I ALMOST PEED

edwin

will make sure to clean up any messes i leave in case i get excited again

ToothEar

I'm gonna be completely honest, I wasn't expecting to get a code cuz ive only been paying 5/month. I'm actually so excited to play it! Thank you, this is such a pleasant surprise 😭

Alice Striker

Thank you so much I was not expecting to get the game for free I love supporting and seeing the updates were totally amazing!!! I can’t wait to play it and see the amazing art that you do in all its glory as well as my boy Ren!!!

Asher

Thank you very much!!! I'm so excited to play it (and give it a glowing review on steam haha) 💖💖

korilakkumya

Sm1l3-d3m0n

froggiespit

Ahhhhhhh!! Thank you so much Gato! I've been a fan of your work for 8 years now, and I was very excited to finally subscribe to your Patreon. This is so kind of you, and I can't wait for July 15th!! Please know you have loads of people that support you, no matter what! :)

Luna ♡

I received my code! Since we can’t respond to the Email I’ve come to thank you here. It was really generous of you to give all of us codes, and it’s really appreciated as well. can’t wait to play it! Your work has been a huge inspiration for me and I’ll definitely be directing people to play your game whenever it comes out 🩷 I can’t wait for you to open up your Etsy shop again so I can keep supporting you on there as well :)

Clogger

rin

Eli

RAAAAAAGGGGGAAHHHHH IM SO EXCITED RAAAAAAAAAAA

Perisoreuz

hi!! I've been a patreon supporter for over a year now, but just last week my payment ended up not going through. is it still possible for me to get the code for the game?

Alex

This feels like Christmas omg!! Thank you Gato💜💜💜💜 I'm so excited for the game!! It's gonna be so awesome!!

Mallow Mochi

Hi! it’s LocalGoblins, i’ve been a supporter for a bit and recently renewed, would i be able to get a code?

gloomyghost

Same here! I wanted to check in on the game progress and now I felt like I renewed too late 😭😭

hi guys

i just realized that you probably seen my stupid ass email LMFAO

hi guys

ALSO TY FOR THE STEAM CODE I APPRECIATE IT

ShinyRocks!!

Hii!!! I just read the email that was sent by you (i dont usually check them) and OMG😭😭 Thank you so much! You just made my day❤️❤️

kalikota

THIS IS THE SWEETEST THINGGG!! AWWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH GATO!!

Aria Avila

It’s a good day to be part of this experience, not that it wasn’t a good day every day being part of it. Best news to wake up to thank you so much for all the work you put in Gato! ∩^ω^∩

Belly_zzz

Omg I’m excited to hear this❤️🩷❤️ Just one question.. my membership updated today and I found out news just now, does it means I missed it?

blueivyinside

not me deciding to sub back again to the patreon and seeing this 💀/lh all jokes aside I was already counting on buying the game when I'm able to, just wanted to comment that it's very generous of you and I'm happy for the other patreons :) I've been following development from the sidelines and I'm eager to play the game! It looks really good Gato 💖

Integra

Do new/returning members also get a code or no?

Integra

Either way I can't wait for the game ❤️

Gatobob

Sorry, I'm only giving codes to people who were already supporting the Patreon. Otherwise I'd have a tidal wave of people coming in to get a $14 discount and that's not exactly the spirit of what I wanted to do 😅

Runee

Awwww, thank you, Gato <33

Keeka-Snake

I am very happy, thank you😭💖💖

FOUR DAYS TIL GAME

✦ Soren P.

That's so sweet of you!! I'm so excited for this 💗🔪

zombie

Thanks so much for the code, I completely forgot that was gonna be a thing LOL

-

Hey all, just heads up just in case someone hasn't mentioned it or the comment got buried. You can redeem your access code on Steam before the 15th. You just need to be on a computer (or portable game system like Steam Deck or Asus ROG) and you can redeem it like you would any other game that has an access code. Ended up trying it anyway bc I didn't want the email of my access code to get buried and it worked. Was really surreal to see it in my library lol. 3 days til Strade takes you on a "date" to his basement as he shows you a good time in various ways! Then maybe things will get steamy and he will SHOW you how much you excite him! You'll even meet his fuchs along the way, he is a cute little guy! God I sound like I'm doing a pitch for Strade if he were on Tinder. I don't think he'd really use those fancy dating apps... He's in to the good ol fashion meet ya at the bar and spook you in the bathroom... Doesn't matter if you're in the ladies, men's, or gender neutral bathroom, he will walk in. This canonically pan man is gender blind. If you're reading this Gato, I am so sorry. Blame ADHD and caffiene.

Richie

Hi Gato, I was supporting patron (20$ member) for 8 months but I got a really big issues with either way paypal or credit card I paid itself, that limited me from viewing content for a while because I wanted to gain 20$ patron back again but after months of dealing with this I’ve decided to set with the 1$ support and therefore is there any chance to get the code or it’s really limited to those who were supporting before the code dropped? 🥺

kat !

this is so sweet of you to do, thank you so much gato !!<3

darkraisdream

hooraaaay!! thank you!! <333 i didn't read this until afterward but i redeemed the code and the game shows up in my library but is currently unplayable until the release which i am super super looking forward to >w<//

Cai

I didn’t even see this post before receiving the code a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised! Thank you so much for your kindness and hard work gato!! Take a long break after the exciting release tomorrow!! :)

GooseYalo

Hey! I would like to know if there is a possibility to get a code (as I was a subscriber for about a year, but had to unsubscribe due to financial situation) Because after your post I renewed it again, but I did not receive the code🙏

Soft.sheepz

I just renewed my subscription yesterday because I didn't realize my payment didn't go through. Would it still be possible to get a code?

Gatobob

sorry, I'm not giving out any new codes ^^;

Kurywel

Hi Gato :) My financial situation changed and unfortunately I had to cancel my subscription this month. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the free code, but I wanted to play so badly that I asked my fiance to buy it for me :)

Vincent Vagner

hiii!! where would I ask for a code for itch.io?

Just Fox

That's so sweet of you. It's a shame my email is out of space and I can't receive new emails 💔 I can't wait for my salary to come and I can buy the game. Thank you for everything
