Hello, this is Redspike.
Issue
First of all, I sincerely apologize for the lack of clear communication about the free copy of the game and for the inconvenience caused by my decision on the distribution method.
Originally, I planned to distribute the game only through Itch.io and DLsite, and to provide supporters with convenient access using platform-specific keys.
However, since Itch.io no longer allows adult game sales and DLsite’s free coupon function cannot be sent to specific individuals, I ended up delivering the game files directly via message.
This made it difficult to provide smooth patch support.
Solution
To resolve this issue, Patreon and Ci-en supporters who are eligible for a free copy will receive a Steam key once the game is officially launched on Steam.
Until then, I will continue to deliver updated builds through group messages whenever the game is patched. Information regarding the Steam release schedule will be announced once it is confirmed.
Important Note
The free copy reward was prepared to thank supporters who pledged $10 or more before the release of Nakara on September 12.
Support made after this date does not qualify for this reward.
Closing
As this is my first time developing and releasing a game, I know that many shortcomings on my part led to this problem.
I will do my best to provide clearer and more reliable announcements going forward.
Thank you very much for your continued support.
