A Quick Note!
Hello, dear friends!
With R7.5 out, it's time to address the elephant in the room: the HUGE delay the market update suffered!
There are a couple of things to note:
It's not a new normal. It was mostly a result of my crappy planning and mismanagement, for which I'm sorry. I'm not saying a delay will never happen again, but apart from acts of god(dess), or a planned longer development cycle (like with large updates, be it Theocracy's Release 9 or the main story special in Release 10), I don't plan to ever let you wait this long again!
As an apology, I will be pausing/suspending the billing for a whole month, starting today. This will become standard in the future - every time there's a more considerable delay, I will be suspending billing (along with the usual refunds!) until it's sorted out! That way, you are not paying for waiting AND not getting any extra content I usually post here.
So, starting today, all existing members won't be charged for the entire next month.
I will be keeping the regular updates and posts flowing as usual (and there are a lot! Hotfix, update release for Pirates, Hustlers, and Truckers, Tarnian faction sheet two-pager to celebrate 1700 supporters, R7.8 Tess/Markala & Lise/Pike teasers, and more!)
New members can still sign up; in that case, you will be charged. There's no way for me to keep the page active AND prevent new people from signing up.
So, once again, very sorry for the delay; please accept my apologies, friends!
Now back to our regular programming!

Is there any chastity in the game\ plans to include it? (Sorry if there's an obv place where this is already answered)
Yes, there's already a fair bit of content with multiple characters, and more is planned. You can get the game for free from my website: https://starperiphery.crd.co/ Though if you wait for another week, the newest update will be going public there!
In any case, the wait was worth it. I’ve managed to play (I think... a tutorial or workaround would be handy) and start over from the beginning; I enjoyed the market scenes so much that I was left wanting more. I especially liked Ash (very sexy with that cock piercing). I also hope to see more feminization scenes with Anitta in the future. Anyway, it’s a great game—one of my favorites. It would be perfect with animations. Thanks for your work.
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed the update! Anitta will be getting another session along with Iris and Brianna in R8!
Love the good work and no problem at all. Also When will it come out for periphery pirates? Tomorrow?
Correct! It will be a shared release for all supporters!
Is there a way to upgrade my membership? Really love your work!!
Check your DMs!
Sometimes life gets in the way, and sometimes hiccups happen, which I think we can all understand and/or relate to. In any case, good things come to those who wait! 😄 Glad to have you back, Void! The Captain is doing true and factual cat things.
Thank you very much, CooCoo! It's good to be back! Captain commits these crimes regularly and with impunity!
I would love to play the new update....
Check your DMs!
I tried upgrading to get the early android release but it won't let me im gonna cry yo I've been waiting for this 😭
Check your DMs!
I can not download because "You cannot edit your pledge while the creator has paused their membership."
Check your DMs!
Can I send the dollars directly to play now? D: my membership can't be modified while there's a pause :c
Same here! Would love to upgrade to be able to play but it's locked.
Thank you for all your hard work! Ummmm whens it available for truckers? hahaha
Probably right after the hotfix is done, might end up skipping this release cycle because of how Patreon deals with sub. upping!
Oh, please... c'mon, man... give me a break! .. Art creation doesn't STEM, and things happens in the process. To me doesn't necessary pause nothing..
You are too kind, Marco! Thank you!
Dude chill, things happen, you too are human. I have been following for more than 18 months now. I know these things dont happen often. Take a chill pill. We know you and your work and trust you. So, be kind on yourself. Have a great day. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you, Alok! You too!
IMO I think you should just announce in the future if there's delay and note it to people that they are free to switch to stay as free members until updates start rolling. Those that want to support you should be able to support you even if you've had development setback. Cos' those stuff always happens for one or the other reason. But you're the captain in the end.
Yeah, that's the plan! I haven't dealt with this in the past, but in case a more major delay happens, this is what I will do!
We love your work 🙏🏾
Thank you, happy to hear that! Especially from a long-term supporter like you!
Thank you for the update and I deeply respect your decision regarding the billing (all the more reason to support your work). Please don't beat yourself up over the delay, or future delays for that matter, as life happens and delays are always possible. I know you will deliver quality work and if that means waiting a little longer, so be it.
Thank you kindly, Frezeeburn!
i dunno if any governors are actually in it for the early access lol. overseers might be, but i dont know any of them.
I would cautiously agree, though you never know; there are a lot of people around! Still, it's listed as a benefit, and it would be unfair/dishonest to just wave it away when needed!
No worries, I understand and accept that you strive for perfection... It shows in your work! As previously stated, by tanktreads, don't beat yourself up. That said, only you know the reasons for the delays and only you know what you feel is right as a resolution... I, for one respect that. So many others will feel like me that a). we don't know your craft, we only see the beautiful results and get to enjoy them. b). There's nothing to compare on patreon, in content or quality. Keep up the good work, I'm really looking forward to downloading 7.5 as soon as it's available for me. xxx
Thank you very much for your kind words, understanding, and support, Emil! I appreciate it! ♡
This is one of my favorite games! I will gladly wait for the updates since things can and do come up beyond our control. Every release of this game is always amazing, VP!
Thank you very much, EJ! One of the OGs! Both for your kind words, and your long-term support!
Does this include Android version 7.5?
Yes! Windows/Linux, Mac, and Android versions are out!
Could we get some Ava teasers as well 🙏
Absolutely, there will be multiple during the R7.8 development!
I love 7.5 no one likes to wait but for this game it’s worth it great visuals and writing
Thank you kindly, MassFallout! Glad you enjoyed your time with the Market!
How can I subscribe and pay today? I can’t wait a week.
Very sorry about that; I wasn't aware Patreon blocks tier upgrades. What could be done is to unsubscribe, resubscribe, then send me a message, and I'll issue you a refund for the old tier!
To be honest I would rather be billed as normal and not have to wait another three weeks...
Sent you a DM!
Thank You VP ❤️❤️😁
Happy to!
If take any longer time i will still waiting for update because I am very excited for this game and every good thing takes time so please takes your time
Both the update and a free month, cheers mate!
Cheers!
We should get a poll, that asks us if we want suspended billing. I think most of us understand that you're mortal and make mistakes and we understand. I for one don't want to see you flog yourself for what I consider a minor hiccup
You are too kind, Tank! I appreciate it! But it's just something I consider fair.
I was just about to upgrade to get the early release 😩 we still ball
You still can upgrade, grab the update and downgrade again! Or wait a week, and it will land in your tier, too!
No problem, we know when the update is released itll aslways be amazing
Too kind, thank you!
I hate myself for saying this, but I'm planning on holding off on playing this till (if I remember correctly) R8. Mainly because of the changes to Markala's events and the goblin party on the first day of working for Mommy Markala.
Understandable, the reworks will be quite lovely!
