Oi,
as there has been a bit of a surge of piracy recently I've decided to take some action against it.
I have opted for a tracking solution that might not stop the piracy itself but allows me to keep track of the people sharing the packs, as it's been getting a bit too much for my taste as of late. This will require you to join my discord server and for your patreon and discord accounts to be connected to grab the packs, as you may already know it from the packs MollyVX and ApolloRT made by some fellow developers.
I'm sorry for this minor inconvenience folks, but as these projects are now making up a relevant part of my monthly income I'll have to take measure to at least stall the pirates a bit (who also seem to be some real attention whores if I may say so, I gave one slightly heated announcement about them on my discord server and now they seem to believe they can somehow get reactions out of me when they gloat about pirating my products, almost sad if it wasn't such a nuisance).
Until such a solution is implemented there will be no new releases of KappaPT and NostalgiaVX on this page. Getting it to work may take a few weeks but I hope its usable before the end of the month, although I can give no guarantees on that. Development of those packs will obviously still continue behind the scenes regardless of that.
I hope you can understand this decision, as I need to protect my work if I want to be able to keep devoting as much time to it to create the fancy visuals you all like and love.
Thats pretty much all I had to say, and a big thanks to the people here who support me and appreciate my work (which are thankfully the overwhelming majority compared to the small but noisy group of pirates).
