I've decided that it is time to revisit and change some of the tiers to reflect that this is no longer a side project on my Gaming PC that I put a few hours in in the evenings like it was in 2018, but now it is something I work full time hours on and have invested roughly £10,000 on in terms of machinery, assets and software. 

I haven't changed my prices except the $1 Tier since I started 4 Years ago, and as v.0.13 will be over 20 times the size of v.0.1 and v.0.2 or any of the old Shadows Updates so I do feel these changes reflect value for money. However I do appreciate times are hard and for that reason these changes will not come into effect until May 5th, so I've given just over a month's notice to make sure everybody has a payday beforehand and anybody subscribed will retain their benefits until they choose to unsubscribe! 

Yes - Nothing changes, the benefits you subscribed to will remain as they are, until something happens to me or you decide to end your subscription, thanks for your support.

No, but I follow you and I am planning on it - You can still subscribe until the end of May 4th to any of the current plans and get the benefits as listed on those plans.

No, I only pledge when updates drop or I don't pledge at all - These changes will affect you.

$1 - Tip Jar - No Benefits other than NSFW Access, no changes however public release schedule IS changing (Day 22 Access - 21 Day Wait).

$3 -  Tier will be removed, delayed early access before public release will be added to $5.

$5 - Will no longer offer Day 1 Access, will now offer Day 8 Access (7 Day Wait).

$7.50 - Tier will be removed. Wallpapers will continue to be made but will be combined with $10 and released on a Lower Resolution for Free (720/1080p Max), with a 4k Premium version.

$10 - Will now be the Early Access Tier for Day 1 Release, monthly renders will continue and 4k Wallpapers will now be accessible only to this tier and above with the removal of $7.50.

$25 - Will remain mainly unchanged, offering Day 1 Release, Monthly Renders, Wallpaper, Name in Credits and a Custom Render. However $25 will now also get their duplicate own poll to decide a character for the monthly renders in addition to the regular vote*.

$100 - Will be removed, once v.0.14 is in development it will be too late in the game to be adding new characters.

*Will vary month to month but will mean sometimes $10+ Votes will decide Character 1 & 2, $25 will decide Character 3. Monthly Renders will still be made available to all $10+.

Removed Tiers will become "Hidden", meaning they still exist with all their benefits but new subscribers cannot join them.

New Tiers (May 5th Onwards):

$1 - Tip Jar Only - Public Access on Day 22, 21 Days after launch.

$5 - Early Access to the Game on Day 8, 7 Days after launch.

$10 - Day 1 Early Access, Monthly Renders & Votes on Characters to be included and Wallpaper Room Access.

$25 - Day 1 Early Access, Monthly Renders & Votes on Characters to be included, Wallpaper Room Access, Name in the Credits and a Custom Render.

This should make things clearer and easier to understand when subscribing and to clarify what you're getting.

FAQ

"Hello, I'm Bob and I currently pledge at $5! What will happen to me, will I get v.0.13 on Day 1, will my price increase?"

Nothing will change. You will get v.0.13 on the date specified in your plan (for $5 - Day 1), and you'll continue to get updates on that date for as long as you remain a subscriber. Your price and benefits will not change unless you cancel.

"I cancelled but I want to renew for the update, will I have to pay the new prices?"

You have until the end of May 4th to resub at the current rates. So if you resub on May 3rd you'll be charged for May and be a Subscriber already when the changes take place, you can then remain at that tier with those benefits until you cancel. If you cancel in the future or resub after 00:01 05.05.2022 (BST (GMT+1)) you will find the new prices in place. 

"I only pay for updates on release and then cancel until the next one, will I have to pay more?"

Yes. You will find Day 1 Access on the 15th May now requires a $10 Payment. With v.0.13 being about three times the size of v.0.12.1 though, I feel this represents value for money as you're getting more content and at a better quality.

"I don't want/can't afford to pay, when will I get the game?"

You can still download v.0.12.1 for free, and v.0.13 will be available for the public freely and in its complete form on the 5th June 2022.

Thanks for all the new and continued support and I hope you're looking forward to v.0.13!

After some careful planning and scheduling and leaving plenty of time for Alpha testing and fixing, I am happy to announce Defending Lydia Collier v.0.13 will be released on the 15th of May 2022!

All Girls Paths Progressed - Brand new content for ALL characters, including but not limited to Steph (with and without surgery), Vanessa, Ellie, Lydia and Jenna. Each of the big three have at least four adult scenes available on their paths.

An Update the Size of a Game - This update will be nearly double in length of the entirety of Shadows over Manston, and the update alone will be bigger than most other adult games on the market containing a whooping 4,000+ renders. 

New Kinks - At least 3 fetishes never seen in Defending Lydia Collier will be added with v.0.13, expanding what the game offers.

Animations - Multiple new animations created for several girls.

New Gallery - The Gallery will be finally added to the game, allowing you to replay all of the lewd scenes at your pleasure once you've unlocked them in the game.

Walkthrough - v.0.13 will come with a fully updated version of the walkthrough so you can explore all the new scenes. 

Revamped Computer System - The new system will not only be easier to navigate and less frustrating, I am also adding a variety of backstories and news articles to enable you to learn more about the characters and the world of Defending Lydia Collier and its past.

Bug Fixes - Every major bug that has been reported to me has been fixed with this update.

Defending Lydia Collier v.0.13 Progress Update

Hello all!

Here's the latest on Defending Lydia Collier's v.0.13 update.

I've now completed 3,277 renders for the latest update (for comparison as that might not mean much to some, the entirety of Shadows over Manston is roughly 2,500 renders, and the average update through 2019-2020 for Defending Lydia Collier was about 400 renders long).

The total update is now planned to be between 4000-5000 long, and I'll give an update release once I'm much nearer completion. With an update this size things like testing and fixes will need a bit more time because its going to be much bigger than usual and I do not want to rush it.

Since last time I've now made significant progress on Vanessa's path which is now over 800 renders long and I'm beginning to work on the evening of Vanessa's path.

Thanks for all the new and continued support!

I appreciate the update is taking a lot longer than usual but this is going to be massive and worth the wait I am certain. Some people have asked, v.0.14 will return to the 1000-1500 render length, this "mega update" is a one off just to add a lot of adult content for all characters.
