MONSTER BROTHEL ANNOUNCEMENTS 7.27.18

IN THE LAST WEEK (7.21.18 – 7.27.18)
 
WE HAVE A WEBSITE! Though the story itself won't launch until October, we already have a website up and running, ready for your exploration and enjoyment! You can not sign up for a subscription yet, as the story isn't available. But you can sign up for e-mails so you'll know the second it launches!   
 
!!REMEMBER!! - If you are signed up for a $5 Patreon Subscription, you are already GUARANTEED a free account. Now as we get a bit closer to the launch date, I will be contacting all $5, $10 and $20 subscribers asking for their e-mail address so I can give you the discount code you will need in order to claim your free subscription. BY ACCEPTING THIS DISCOUNT CODE AND SIGNING UP YOU ARE PROMISING NOT TO SHARE THIS CODE WITH ANYONE ELSE!   
 
Seriously guys. I'm not some major corporation. I'm not some big famous youtuber. I'm just a girl trying to make a story she loves. If you share the code, you cut into any profits I stand to make from this. Most of the Patreon money earned thus far is already being allocated back into this project, whether it's paying for websites, software, editing or merchandise. So I'm really hoping we'll make enough off the initial subscriptions and merch for me to keep working at what I love and providing content to all of you who've been kind enough to help support me through this process. So please, if you get a discount code, don't share it. If you have an account, don't share it. If you beta for me, don't share the info.   
 
WE ARE DOING A LIVESTREAM 7/27/18 AT 9PM EASTERN!! I know there was a kerfuffle last time! I linked Picardo cause that was what we intended to use but in the long run we went with Twitch and I screwed up, forgetting to change it on the initial reminder! So, this time we've got it down! We're going to be on answering questions, helping to promote the MB, and my wife will be drawing one of the monsters from the $20 tier! We look forward to seeing you there!

MERCHANDISE!! As promised, we're working on merch options and we have already received the stickers! I'm hoping to so another run including the emblem for the Madame Marigold's House of Respite, but that might have to wait just a little while as we focus on the pins. Since the pins feature in the story line, I want to make sure we can provide them to you at a reasonable cost. Nothing is available for sale just yet. I'm still calculating shipping costs before determining the final price. I don't want this to be outrageous! I know how rough it was wanting to get swag from my favorite people and not being able to afford it. So I'm hoping to keep it all within reach. Remember, if we reach $400 on the goals, all the Patreons get a FREE STICKER!   
 
GOALS
 
We are currently at $342 and 38 Patreons! As we move closer to the next tier, I have high hopes for all of us! If we cross the $400 line, I'm going to have to think of something to do for $500! With two months left before launch, I'm sure we can make it if we really try! I'm already scheming to see what we can do together, and I'd love to open up more chapters or possibly more merch. Lets keep our fingers crossed!   
 
F.A.Q.
 
Q: So about the $5 pateron Siren, will the game be free as long as we are playing the game, or just for one month after release? Apologies if this seems like an obvious question!!! Also, will there be more than 1 gender option for the protagonist, or will they be gender netural? And I'm perfectly fine with you all using my asks in whatever. Thanks for making this game I can't wait to play it!!!!!   
 
A: THAT IS A SUPER GOOD QUESTION!! Okay so the way it works is fairly simple. If you are a $5 patreon subscriber you will maintain a free account to play the game for as long as you are subscribed.   

 Ex: You are subscribed in October. Therefore you will have the ability to play the game and access it for free in October. You remain subscribed in November. you will have the ability to play the game and access it for free in November. now let’s say something happens in December and you have to unsubscribe from Patreon. You will lose your ability to access and play the game during December. However if you rejoin in January and subscribe again you will have the ability to play the game in January.

Okay so as much as I would have loved to make it possible for you to be able to play through the game with your preferred gender pronouns included I quite simply do not have the time to rewrite things 4 or 5 or 6 times to include all of the genders that might be preferenced.   What I have done is throughout most of the story the PC does not have a specified gender however their gender is malleable and dependent upon the preference of the monster they encounter. example if you have a monster and that monster is male and gay then the PC will be male and gay. I if the monster is pansexual the character might be male or female or trans or simply non cisgendered.   I’m working hard to make this as inclusive as possible with the time allowance I have. Bear in mind this is not Game Grumps! This is me writing and my wife doing art and graphic design! if I had nothing but time on my hands and no nine-to-five job that I have to be at I would absolutely take the time to make it as absolutely inclusive as possible and create the ability for you to choose your gender, choose your sexuality, et cetera but I I don’t I have to do what I can with the time I have available.
