Patron perk: Second short story coming soon
In June Mortze and I will be giving our "Partner" level ($10) patrons access to our second short story, "DwE: Royal Guard." This is roughly the same length as the previous short ("DwE: Learning to Fly"), but is a little different. There's no sex in this one. Instead it gives background information on one of the characters from the full games.
Be forewarned, there is violence in this story, although it's generally against monsters, not people. But if you're uncomfortable with such things, you might skip this one.
It also contains an Italian translation provided by my favorite Italian, John Milton.
I'm also kind of using you as guinea pigs. I've rewritten the tool I use to write my games, and this is the first release that uses the new tool. If you have any technical issues with the story, please contact me and let me know.
As with previous perks, this month's perk will include the ability to download the ones from previous months, including the first short story.
Everyone who is a "Partner" level patron on May 31st and whose payment clears will get these perks. I'll send them out a few days later, though, since there are always declines that get resolved in the first few days of the month.
Mortze and I hope you enjoy the story.

I'm glad you folks are enjoying the story. Thank you for the kind words. --Tlaero
Fun story. Can you explain a bit more about the changes to the game engine? I didn't notice anything very different?
If you didn't notice anything different, that's good. (-: The changes are all under the covers and hopefully aren't very visible to players. The main change is that there used to be a separate htm file for every page. Now there's only one htm and the pages are changed with JavaScript. I guess you can kind of notice that the URL isn't changing in your browser, and you can no longer jump straight to a page by typing it in to the browser, nor open alternate pages in separate tabs, etc. I wasn't specifically trying to stop that, but it was a byproduct of the changes. --Tlaero
Well, the games came out a while ago. You're forgiven for not remembering every single detail. Points for going back and figuring it out. (-:
Ok, got it. Geez! How did I not connect those rather obvious dots?
Oh great! Now I look like an idiot. I'll have to go back and replay a few likely scenes. :-)
You've seen her twice before...
Quite enjoyed the new story even though I am not usually a fan of ugly, toothy, bloody things in general. Now we just have to figure out who this new character is. Have we seen her before? Will she have her own story? I know, you could tell me but then would have to shoot me. ;-) Either way, it is great to see a little more of Elsa, still my favorite.
I sent out the email with the June perks. If you should have gotten it and didn't, please let me know.
Welcome to June. As with most months, we had around a 10% decline rate. This tends to go down a bit over the course of a few days, so we'll give people until Saturday to get their credit cards fixed. I'll send out this month's perks then.
