Something a little different this week as two new free games get added to the site.<\/p>\n

Dreaming with Elsa and Redemption for Jessika are games by\u00a0Tlaero and Mortze. Many of you are probably familiar with their work already. Some of you will not be however, and that’s why they’ve been added.<\/p>\n

You can find them both on the site on the games page.<\/p>\n

Tlaero and Mortze are struggling a little to get their revenue on Patreon up to a level that makes them more comfortable. Currently, it seems they’re getting just under $3000 per month. Since they’re a duo, they have to divide it between them, then deduct tax. What remains isn’t an ideal amount to keep making these games with.<\/p>\n

To give some context, my server costs alone are about $500 per month, and when you add up all of the new assets to I had to buy to make Leanna, she easily cost at least $3000. Maybe even closer to $5000. Similarly to what I did, I believe Mortze is in the process of upgrading everything to Genesis 3, so he’s gong to be needing a similar amount of money. Also, obviously, the more money they get, the less hours they need to work on their usual job, and the more they can dedicate to making games.<\/p>\n

So, if you like\u00a0Tlaero and Mortze’s work, please consider signing up to Patreon to donate. You can support them for as little as $1 per month, but you can also give a little more too. Patreon accepts Paypal, and will simply come up as ‘Patreon’ when you are billed.<\/p>\n

Becoming a Patreon supporter means you get perks from the creators too. In this case, for $5 per month, you’ll receive weekly exclusive images and occasionally small bonus games to play.<\/p>\n

Both have helped me in the past – Tlaero helped me develop the engine I use for my game, and Mortze gave me tips when I was learning to use IRAY recently. Advertising them like this is the least I can do.<\/p>\n

I’ll even make it super easy for you. Just click this image below and you’ll go straight to their Patreon page. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
