JTA v0.6 Devlog #2 + Community Concerns
So far, work on the City maps has been satisfactory. There's one more map that I feel need a sizeable touch-up still, but afterwards I can dive right into the new stuff immediately.
Among the new scenes and quests are what I'm hoping to be a lot of stuff which has been planned for a while, including but not limited to:
Succubus Content and TF Images + Possible Ending
More Werewolf TF Content and Endings (Teased Above)
More Mountain Dragonkin Endings
More Endings From RTA
Possibly (BIG maybe) this may also be a fitting update to slot in the first Playable Ending carried over from the HTML version. I cannot guarantee a full inclusion, but I will definitely take steps to try and build the framework for something. I'll have a poll out here shortly to determine which one people gravitate towards the most/is the most popular.
I also want to mention that I've noticed content from exclusive Patreon posts have been being reposted in full on illegal archiving sites. This is, hopefully obviously, very fucked up and I've already reached out with a DMCA takedown request to get the content scrubbed.
Not only is this a massive insult to myself, it also is a horrific slap in the face to members of my community that have chosen to spend their money to support me and access the early content they earned through that. I never ever want to block any story, CG, or game content behind a paywall indefinitely, and all Patreon versions of releases only have cheats meant to save you time.
What really hurts is that this being perpetuated by a high paying member of the community, someone who is donating $16+ a month to try and ruin this exclusivity for everyone. If my email(s) gets me nowhere, I may have to reduce what I share early and/or change how Patreon content is distributed, which I'd really rather avoid.
Here's my explicit policy on archiving my content:
If a post, download, or poll is from or pertaining to an update before the most up to date version (not including Playtests), I don't care what you do with it. Save it, share it, make love to it, it's out of the picture. What matters is the here and now.
Apologies for the rambling. More will be shared next week, along with an update to the "archiving" situation as it is unfolding.
