Is there any place to permantly buy the game/future updates yet? As far as i understand you can only get the newest versions of patreon, subscribestar and by boosting on discord.
hey thankies so much for the interest, and sorry for the slow reply! i was super focused on mapping stuff in the game and completely forgot to check my socials ;w;
to answer your question, that reward was available during the kickstarter, and i kept it going on ko-fi for a while afterwards, but for now you'll have to wait until early access releases, sorry!
once early access is out, you can buy that and you'll own the game permanently, with the only drawback being slower updates compared to dev builds but all the content that releases on patreon first will eventually make its way into the public version once there's a decent chunk of it, there's no long term exclusivity it's just purely for additional support
and yeah like you mentioned if you have discord nitro, the cheapest way to get the game is by boosting the Discord server, people stop boosting from time to time, so queue spots open up fairly regularly and you can usually get in without waiting too long =w=
