"Do you have a Patreon or something similar?"

Yes actually.

Since Cruel Serenade launched there has been a slow but steady stream of requests and questions about supporting the project via Patreon or something similar. I've been hesitant for a variety of reasons: Patreon itself is a minefield for this kind of content, and taking donations in this way often frustrates people because of poor communication. To that end, I want to be as clear as I can here.

The Cruel Serenade SubscribeStar page is up, and you can join for either $5 or $10 a month (if anyone is crazy wonderful enough to want a higher tier, let me know). However, this is only another way to donate to the project, for those who would like to give a little each month rather than one large donation. There will be no special features, no previews, no getting your character in the game etc. $10 supporters will get Chapter Two when it's released at no extra charge, but that's it. I also make no promises, guarantees etc, except for this: the game is being worked on as efficiently as I can manage, and if it ever has to be shelved, I'll let everyone know. Generally, think of this less as a Kickstarter situation where you're owed a product you invested in, and more an open-ended donation toward something you enjoy and want to see more of.

I have no idea what the actual interest in this will be. But people have requested it, so I'll give it a try. 

And of course, thanks so much to those who have already supported Cruel Serenade. If you're one them, or one of the many having a rough time financially right now, don't feel obligated to join. This is just another option, for those interested in it.
