Patreon Charges

Hey guys hope you're doing well. I'm using this post as an opportunity to talk about changes to the way Patreon charges patrons, but also v0.5 and show off a coloured Melony Sprite. She won't be in build v0.5 but she will be in the game soon after.
v0.5 has been underway for a bit and I'd say it's going well. Art and coding need to be finished but the planning and design for a new "banquet party" event and dialogues are done. For a release date I'm predicting the middle of the month. I'll have a more specific date later.

Now an important announcement. After observing the support and the way people have pledged this past month I've decided to change pledge support a bit. There were many, and I mean many people this past month who pledged to me as a 5 dollar supporter, then within hours deleted their pledge and their support. Some even stayed right up until the last day of the month before deleting their pledge. I've found that this is so they can get the cheatcode password offered to 5 dollar patrons, and link to the game for free before hand so they can release it to the public. This month I visited many forums for the first time to find people who posted my cheat code and link to v0.46 before I released it for free.

So, because of this, I've decided that starting with the release of v0.5 I will begin charging Patrons up front when they first decide to pledge. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of people trying to take advantage of the system. Those of you who are already patrons don't need to worry as this WILL NOT AFFECT YOU at all, your support will still be received regularly.

As always, thank you SO much for the continued support I'm really working hard on this next build and I hope you guys like it. Have a good one.
