Wait, what? $1000 already?
Added 2017-12-04 07:55:17 +0000 UTCWow! It feels like less than a month ago when we celebrated hitting the $500 goal, and for a good reason. It was less than a month ago! November 12th, to be precise. For you guys to have doubled the size of the Patreon in such a short amount of time is nothing but amazing.
So, what does this mean for the game going forward?
Well, it means that I'm going to add all the minor characters (mostly women) I've been toying around with in my head. The first one should appear in version 0.5 or so. It also means that I'll start to seriously look at adding music. That might not happen for 0.4, but we'll see what happens.
Now we start the trek towards the big one: $2000. This is the one I'm really, really hoping will happen. The Fey Court plot will have the main character heading off into the deep forest to seek magical help for his quest, but the creatures waiting for him there may not be all that willing to help his cause. If you're hoping to see more... exotic girls in this game, that goal is for you.
I'll be typing up another post later today about version 0.4 and what I'm planning to do with it. Until then, thank you! You've made my day. Heck, you've made my year!

1,250 grabs for DA on the torrent site I follow. If .5 is as good as .4, I'd expect quite a few snowballs. It's only surpassed by DMD and DoD.

2017-12-11 00:55:10 +0000 UTCNaturally. I am a musician, so I know a thing or two about arrangement and style. :) What I really want to do is to compose the music myself, but that's another time sink I don't need right now when people want other kinds of content more than they want music.
2017-12-04 22:11:20 +0000 UTCA good tip Belle is to find a couple artists that you feel work for you and stick with them. That will add an overall style/feel for the music so that when a new song plays it has a less likely chance of feeling out of place. Take your time in selecting them as well.

2017-12-04 21:54:44 +0000 UTCDamn dude, 1000 already. Well deserved!

2017-12-04 21:15:23 +0000 UTCThanks! The music will be something I can do whenever, including at times when I ordinarily wouldn't work on the game, so no need to worry. Also, I have been known to play these kinds of games with music on from time to time, depending on which game it is. Dreams of Desire is enhanced by its music, for example. What I will try to avoid is the generic piano pop silliness you get with Japanese visual novels. Blergh.
2017-12-04 17:57:39 +0000 UTCCongrats on the milestone. It's a good game and will go places. Hope the music doesn't take much of your time. I'd be surprised if there was ever a documented case of someone playing a RenPy game without muting the music.
