Currently the project is fairly expensive for me and I'm trying to keep up with current project demands so I don't believe there will be a more recent free version soon. I'll try to think one out when I can, but right now the funds are fueling my ability to continue producing more updates and taking time off work.

No! I wouldn't survive right now haha. The cheapest option is 3$ on patreon any month you want to support! If I wrote somewhere that its expensive, I more mean I take time off work to code in the game. I mostly only do weekend coding, or nightime coding, but getting any funds lets me get some time off to do some extra middle of the week coding. Night coding is rare for me thougn, I work long hours and by the end of the day I conk out.
Alternatively I also mean, Itch.io is expensive. Patreon has very small fees compared to Itch. In addition I can access funds quickly, whereas Itch takes half a month to a month to release.
