No, once you purchase, you've got it forever - including every update in the future. If you purchase now, you can see how often the updates are, too, so don't worry. I'd say, personally anyway, probably best to buy now, to play it, and then return to download the newer version to try any newer stuff.
In other words, if you purchase now, and it updates in a few days or a bigger update in a few months, you do not need to pay again; you just download the newer version easily.
I would say double-check the email you sent it to, and double-check the username you sent. You can see all details on the site, but I'll just put the email detail here too, too:
After purchase, email your Cluster Nickname to eccm.a4@gmail.com
Edit 1: maybe worth checking your Inbox thoroughly, too - it shouldn't be in spam, but you may as well check each inbox to be sure.
Hi Godak, are you referring to the cost of Lona's virginity being more valuable in the first time? I know that's a thing - in my usual route, I always max that out since that's the largest amount you generally get. If so, yes - the first time you will get more. Any time after that is less. Apologies if I misunderstand your question.
On the other hand, if you're referring to losing potential income after starting, is it because you're spamming? If you don't do it perfectly, you do lose out on some cash.
Edit 1: fixed spelling
Okay, working now.
Email eccm.a4@gmail.com
(this is the person who made the game)
In the email, include your Clusters username(this lets them confirm you paid, and then they send you the link to where you download it). If you don't know what your Username on Clusters is, see the icon on the top right of Clusters for it.
You can also find the exact same instructions on Clusters if you look on the image you sent me and simply click 'more'
- This will also show the email, and telling you to email it as I mentioned above.
Let me know if you still have any trouble after this, but that should sort it out.
*Edit 1: grammar and further explanation

After purchase, email your Cluster Nickname to eccm.a4@gmail.com
Have you already purchased it from here and done this?
When I started this game entirely blind, this was what I struggled with for a long time before eventually learning through repeated effort and diagnosing things around how it worked. It's significantly easier now with being able to see the settings for it in keyboard configuration, but as Annuilein said, you press the corresponding key.
Ignore my probably weird key setup, but for example, I had the keys set to 1, 2, 3, 4. I learned that, based on whatever juicing attack I chose, all I had to do was spam the correlating key. I would recommend for your key setup, just to engage juicing, and spam only one key. If it's slow, then reload the save and try another. Assuming your stamina is sufficient, you'll likely win quickly against any normal enemy, making it clear what button you're meant to press.
For example, in my case, I would press 4(Juicing hotkey) (and hold) ->(right arrow key) and then spam 3, which correlates to that action's juicing.
In my experience, I still spam when doing doing it for money and not juicing, and in that case, if you get any wrong inputs, you'll lose out on potential money. Hope this helps c:
*(edit 1) Just to be clear, you must STOP spamming at intervals throughout this job; I have all the options memorized, so I spam, then wait, then continue, etc. If you have sound on, you can hear the wrong inputs, and your customer also becomes upset.
The difference between stable and dev is very straight-forward; stable is more stable, dev is actively being worked on (in other words, in development; expect bugs, expect issues). Stable is typically older than the other updates, but is also usually more reliable in terms of being in a stable state.
Also, for that other question, using older saves can be tricky. There has been a recent overhaul/change on things, preventing most older saves from working unfortunately. I often try to work around it by getting whatever save I want to continue at the moment before death, and just dying and respawning while inheriting everything. This can sometimes work. For the most recent changes, however, I don't believe even that will work.
*Update mid-reply. I decided to test it for you. Using a 10.7.5 save, it doesn't actually even let you try run it - so you will definitely need to start new. (or cheat things in) I don't think someone could fix it for you... but I wish you the best of luck. I'll update this reply if I make any progress in getting it to work.
+Edit 1: just grammar
+Edit 2: the stable version is 10.7.5, just so you know. I would recommend playing the Latest version - which is at B.0.10.8.22
+Edit 3: Answering your first question... Honestly, I am not perfectly sure what the options other than $30 gets you - but that one gives you everything, so I recommend that c:
Going off context clues, RedTrainer has mentioned that the $2 option has the stable version, and on Clusters, it says the option after that comes with dev build. The one after that includes 'art source access' and the $30 one is just everything. Hope that helps!
Edit 4: Finicky grammar
Hi DhasSinned, it sounds like you paid twice due to this occurrence which can be annoying - hope you're alright. While it can be troublesome when unintentional, you can definitely unsubscribe without any problem if you want.
Also, I found the info you're looking for, and yes - it's normal for Clusters. Rather than going based off every 30 days, it does it based on a fixed calander monthly billing cycle. That means regardless what day you sign up on, the next subscription is done on the 1st of the next month - or I guess the 31st depending on timezones... Makes me wonder what happens if you subscribe 10 minutes prior or something, haha.
Happy to help if you have any other questions.
This might be better asked on Discord. As Redtrainer conveyed, there isn't a pre-configured method to achieve what you're saying - but you can pay less if you can't afford more, and still get something(such as the $2 amount mentioned).
If you're wanting to pay in installments for the highest tier, I imagine you might have better luck asking on Discord. I hope you're able to find a good solution. I'm happy to help if you have any general game questions.
Yes, use the clusters link on the page. I'll link it here, but it's just the link on the main page:
https://clusters.tw/profile/41217B6F-E6E1-4A29-8E2A-CA73773AB263/works
The game is $30 USD, which may be displayed as $870 NT for you. You can search the cost up if you don't understand; it's just being displayed in different currency. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, or use the discord - you can also find all relevant details on either the LonaRPG page, or Clusters where you purchase the game.
This makes sense, I was also wondering. I also apologize for responding - and the other person I referred to in that post before was annulein, who is here. They probably make the most replies here. I have several hundred hours on the game, but relatively little ability to help in the way annuilein does.
It depends on the choice you make when you explain to Cocona what happened. There are two things you can say - if you choose the wrong one, you lose the option. It's been a while since I played it, but it's not the option that says it's 'special'. Lona should say something like it's something you use to trade with others.
*My reply may be outdated since I haven't retried on the newest version, but I strongly doubt it was removed. I know it's very easy to accidentally choose the wrong option, though, due to how it's worded. I'll edit this reply if I get more info for you.
Edit: I got to the part on an older version. You choose 'it is a special thing' and NOT 'special person.' The option did not show up for me unless I waited the full time and the cutscene played
(Summary: Cutscene should play, then choose 'it is a special thing.' It should be enabled with this)
I think the other person who replies fairly often here can help if I'm wrong and the newer version is different, but try the above in the meantime if you want.
NT$870 translates to '870 New Taiwan Dollars'.
USD wise, it's saying USD $29.99. Also, you only pay this $30 just ONCE, and you permanently have the game. You shouldn't feel worried about the NT $870; if you want more understanding, just paste into google 'NT $870 to USD'
After you pay the amount, you can choose to continue to support, or end the subscription. Continuing to support helps eccma continue to make updates by donating that amount monthly, but either way, you will have the game forever from the single purchase.
Also, I believe Cluster is the only place you can purchase it currently. Happy to help if you have any other questions.
I also recommend using the church to raise morality. Personally, I've never encountered a situation where it was excessively low apart from that one quest.
Though, eating Human flesh lowers morality, so maybe you're getting too hungies. Try to eat normal stuff, and if all else fails, monitor it closely and diagnose when it drops.
Your reply makes sense. Although, I notice new things, at least. I agree they are usually smallish updates, probably mostly bug fixes, but still some new stuff each time from what I saw.
I can't recall if I read the update on cluster or subscribe star, but the dev mentioned what was going on, though I don't know if I would phrase it as 'having problems.' Just natural difficulties with needing art done and such, and, I mean, in my eyes, seeing the changes with Subscribe Star and stuff, giving some space in respect of that is just right. And for your last comment, they do somewhat mention any delays.
I feel all your points are valid and understandable, though a bit harsh. Often some new content, the dev does post difficulties, and there are general estimates on some releases. Might just not be as substantial as you may wish for.
I also wish for more more updates, more info, and all that, but I'm content with what's provided since I feel that I see and receive more than enough. Also, an update released recently.
Pregnancy time is perfect length. Lategame, it takes something around 3 days or so. Raise SB Womb level to 10; trading with Goblins is probably the most direct means of doing this, and you can search up SB Womb (Seedbed Womb) status up for the details on that. You can achieve max level for this early-game fairly easily.
More than likely, you're not complaining about pregnancy time being too long, though. You're consuming drugs and suffering considerable stamina drain, damaging the baby, preventing it from surviving. Early-pregnancy, it can be difficult to deduce the health of the baby, but generally speaking, you can search these details up if you want the specifics. In short, eating drugs, being hit, using stamina, this harms it, causing the pregnancy to restart before it progresses. Rest when pregnant at the fishman place, and ignore your jobs - as long as they recognize your condition, they'll just decide punishing you would hurt their baby, so they don't.
There's a safe drug on the table to the left that can help recovering the baby. Avoid the aphrodisiac drug to avoid harming it (and drinking any potions, because that harms it, including healing potions, which sometimes took me off guard at times). The first pregnancy may seem long, but it's a sort of 'bad-end' for a reason. I managed to do it all without any guide on my first playthrough, so I understand your point, but as long as you overcome it carefully, you can escape and improve your SB Womb level so it's not a problem later.
If you're not playing on the easiest difficulty, I'd recommend you carefully review the status I mentioned here, since its lactation alteration could come as an undesired surprise if not.
