Test Version Release & Tier Update
🕑 Added 2023-03-31 00:20:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
The latest test version is now available for download:
Please keep in mind that there's a lot of unfinished content, including Aisha's slavery scene as the main addition. And don't mind the images in the folders - some of them aren't being used yet.
On a side note, from now on, access to test versions will be limited to the Slave tier and above. This decision comes from my desire to maintain the game's reputation for quality and to minimize the risk of leaks, which could potentially misrepresent Escape of Misantria as an unfinished or unplayable game.
I understand this change might be surprising, but I hope you'll see it as a way to both support my ongoing development efforts and to ensure that only dedicated fans who appreciate the work-in-progress nature of test releases have access to them. Your continued support helps me keep creating the best game possible, and I'm incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
Enjoy the test version, and thank you for your understanding!
Best,
-Ariestra

Yeah, I definitely hate to be 'that guy' but raising the price is only going to ccause me to drop my subscription and just wait it out for sites like f95 or Kemono. I don't make a ton of money myself, but I do like actually being able to support the kind of games that I love. It may only seem like a couple more dollars, but for some of us, that couple of dollars is what lies between us and homelessness.

That is perfectly fine i totally get that and definitely do that if possible and ofcourse doesn't take away to much dev time. Just dont do it by taking it away from other loyal fans

Thanks for your thoughts! I'll keep it in mind! I also embrace piracy, as it gives more diffusion, but I'd like to reward somehow people who supports a little bit more with some behind-scenes privileges. I'm glad you enjoyed the game ♥️

Actually by increasing the price or having a price at all is the biggest reason that leaks happen in the first place. The higher the price the easier it is to find work around for them. Atleast thats what i have noticed. Also not that leaks matter that much as you release it for free for the public shorty after either way. What is a better solution is keep the 3,5 tier as it is but lock it. That way nobody can join that tier anymore but your original fans still keep access to game updates. The once that leave and wanna get access again they have to scale up 1 tier (which is the majority of leakers anyway). This way you Keep your loyal followers and lose the leakers or force them to pay more. Genuinely doesn't matter what the cost is eitherway the majority that leaks will get more people visiting their site with a price increase and thus there is more reason to leak it. The Secretary did this and i think this is the best way to reward fans. But still being able to increase the cost. This is not for me I just arrived here but if i was here for years and years i would personally just flat out leave. after a year you would have sinked in like 40 bucks in the game after 2 its almost 80 and you are now deciding they aren't good enough anymore to have access to the updates of the game really sucks ass. While they have provided you with way more then a new person did that is in the 5,5 cost tier that might just pay 1 month to get access and then leave again. The odds are that the majority dont give a flarv. But this is just my personal take on this. Also keep in mind, that leaks help your revenue aswel. The big reason why im here is because i found your game leaked on a website. And decided it was worth my money <3

As I said, this is not meant to be playable or functional yet. I just post it to show the progress status to supporters. Although it doesn't seem much, there's a lot of hours invested in this update.
