Is there any chance of the fabled 1.09 Patreon release coming here, or is that too much to ask too late? I was one of your patrons (happily, of course!), finished the 1.09 build and deleted everything but the saves in preparation for the next.
Don't ask - we all have our own neuroses haha.
Before I was able to re-download 1.09 for posterity's sake, the Patreon was taken offline and I haven't been able to find it since...
P.S. And @Healer, I completely understand the stress from both the work itself and the need to please people who give money for what really amounts to passion projects. I've been mulling over / world-building / on-and-off working on my own VN since beginning of pandemic and I always think "but what if I'm the next Blackgate?!" lol.
I hope at some point in the future (and not necessarily soon; you need to do it on your own time when you feel you are ready) you're able to find yourself a competent programmer to take the Ren'Py load off of your shoulders and pick this up again. It was truly great while it lasted.
