Patron Perk: DwE:Learning to Fly

Really enjoyed the DwE:LtF short story, far more than expected and quite the fantasy -- it definitely carries the Tora signature implementation. Really anticipating Elsa's next move...

Since your anonymous might not be able to see if you did or not

Completely understand the predicament your are in. Any chance you could make a goodwill gesture in lieu of my two previous payments of $5.00? (Given the circumstance, I understand if my request is denied).

Oh I do understand but think it will also hurt your sign up numbers alot and complaints.

JFR is correct. We send out the links to people after Patreon is able to successfully bill them. Patreon bills at the start of the month, not when you sign up. We decided to switch to this model after a large number of people signed up, took the benefits, and cancelled without ever paying. That's not fair to the paying patrons. This month as well, twenty of the people who pledged cancelled without paying. (Although they didn't get anything because of the "wait until you pay" policy.) I'm sorry that people who sign up now will need to wait a few weeks to get DwE:LtF. I hope you can understand the predicament I'm in. --Tlaero

Well, the game is free and available whenever you want it. It is just the patron perks that are delayed a bit. There are well over a hundred patrons who are supporting and paying. We are happy to get the occasional perks but that is not why we provide support.

Actually as I said earlier, It should be billed when you sign up. The way it is now little reason for someone to sign up now. I have supported Mortze for sometime, but do not feel alot will pay money and not get the game for a month, imo

I expect Tlaero will be along soon to answer these questions but I'll see if I can shed some light in the meantime. Just in case the new procedure is not clear, the links to the perks are e-mailed out AFTER a pledge payment is collected, once a month. As an example, I started pledging in late February and didn't get my link until last week, after my first payment was collected in late February. If you just started your pledge in the last week or so, I'd guess you will get your perks in early April. You might look around at some of the other threads on this page for discussion and explanation regarding the large-scale fraud they were subjected to in the first months and which precipitated the new procedure. As a patron who actually pays, I support the new process completely. I suspect the others do, too.

Hi Guys. I've just changed me pledge to $10, any chance you could email over LtF?

yes, but then 10 hours later hadnt heard so wrote it here

Didn't you already ask that in the Shark's Lagoon forum? Somebody with the same Username asked and Tlaero responded asking you to PM her your e-mail so she could look into it.

Ok so i started giving $10 when will I get access to this?

The lighting in this is perfect.

Just found out that I had received a link for "DwE: Learning to Fly". I have to admit that this was totally unexpected as it really is sort of a mini game and much mire than I'd expect to see next to regular releases of stories. The graphics are great and the short story is forbidding hot. Without giving away anything I'd like to say that it even teases you with a possible follow-up. Thank you so much both of you for your dedication and work. I am really enjoying what the both of you do.

Okay, it's the 5th and the declines haven't decreased. I'll assume that the current numbers are correct. Thank you, everyone, for your support in February! I've just sent a mail to all confirmed Partner and Sugar Daddy patrons that contains the link to DwE: Learning to Fly. If you didn't get it, please check your spam folder. If you continue to have trouble in a day or two, send me a message. --Tlaero

Hi James. Although it's the main reason we're here on Patreon, the whole concept of asking for money is ... uncomfortable ... to me, especially when I consider that there are paying patrons who are financially worse off than I am. At the same time, Mortze and I work really hard on our games and give them away for free. It's not unreasonable for us to get some sort of payment from people who enjoy our work. So this is kind of a strange place to be in. I will say this. It is my intent to send a link all previous perks when I send out a perk for a given month. And I understand that not everyone can afford to pay $10 every single month, however much they'd like to. You should do what your conscience and your bank account says is the right thing to do. I personally appreciate your support whether you're giving us $1 or $1000. --Tlaero
