Don't worry bros, the game just seemed to quit, for some reason.
Extract this attached file into this game's game
dir and it should work.
Version 1 of copy protection defeated
It seems this has nothing to do with the steam error in the log file, and
zoyle was mostly correct. Please try placing this into your 'game' folder to solve the issue.
Version 2 of copy protection defeated
Looks like I was completely wrong. People won't wait just a week.
In honor of you trying your best KingB. I will wait the week for the general release.
I won't fault you for trying a Version 3 however I am not sure its worth the effort unless you manage to get a sizable boost of people going to your patreon. Maybe putting your effort into a gallery might be a better idea.
I know the saves breaking/wiping each update is annoying for everyone. There is a way around this even if you have to create new variables retroactively. I can also explain it if that is your reasoning for the new saves each update.
Either way good luck!
