I know, right? Monday was apparently one of those 'holidays' at my kids' school, so I didn't have a chance to do anything, and then Tuesday came and I forgot entirely. It's uploading now. I've also increased the price a little bit, since buying it here grants access to future updates as well. How does that impact people who previously paid the smaller amount? I have no idea. I don't understand how Itch.io treats donation/free games *at all*. I hope that it lets you stick around without dropping more money, or at the very least, let's you add in the difference or something.

Anyway, if you're interested in PC or Mac, the files are there, and Android will be up pretty soon. If you're looking for the next free version, I actually need to reupload that to play well with Itch's automated stuff, so that's going to be another hour or so.

I'm sorry, but I won't be able to pay again, since I live in a country with limited opportunities to pay abroad, I will wait for the free version

I believe you can send free paid versions, so if it negatively affects those who bought it already, you can have them email you their receipt and send them a free copy.

I have a question SprintingCucumber do you plan to help somehow the people that paid smaller price and give them access to newer versions or not and we need to pay again?

Yes, actually! I just sent out a promo code email for previous purchasers. It's the first time that I've ever tried to do anything like this, so I hope it reached everyone with the appropriate links all working correctly... I sent it to the email address that Itch has on file for purchases. Essentially it's a $5 coupon for the game, and if people don't want it or don't need it, they can always gift the link to a friend or post it up on a community board. Doesn't bother me at all.

Thank you for the consideration of those who have supported you in the past. It is appreciated.

I would like to thank you too.

I am very grateful, I didn't even find it right away, it turns out the letter was hidden in spam, it's a shame, I'll add it to my favorites

Well it seems that I would need to buy it again.

From itch.io documentation

"If you change the minimum price of your project then key holders will still have access to their files. There’s one exception to this rule though: any files that are individually priced.

There are two ways to set a price on your downloadable files: You can set a minimum price on your entire project, or you can individually set a price on files of your choosing "

So it seems that future updates were stopped to anybody who has bought it before. :) Well I can't pay for it 2 time especially that I aren't guaranteed having access to newer versions and because of what is happening with money exchange rates. Sorry.

One more think I would need to pay full price I can't pay only the difference.
