Hello everyone! Welcome to my Patreon! You can call me Lili and I am currently developing my first interactive fiction game- The Sovereign's Ring on Twine Sugarcube. 

This patreon is here for those who wish to support me as a developer and the production of the game so that it can be the best that it can be. Patreons of different tiers can expect early access to the game, community discord, weekly devlogs, polls, and additional side content made by me, which includes, but is not limited to, side stories and artwork! 

You can play the free demo of the game here: https://lilipudding.itch.io/the-sovereigns-ring

Hello! I just wanted to say that I've never ever planned on making a Patreon account let alone paying for stuff like this. I grew up in a household where we struggled to make ends meet and when I got my own source of income, I wanted to put it towards things I KNEW I'd really enjoy outside of bills and obligations of course. In recent times I definitely have more money to throw around since I'm currently an AIT student in the US Army and while I don't get paid a whole lot, I don't pay for my housing, food, or any of my basic needs at the moment. I send money home of course, since my family still struggles, but I make sure they're okay while I try to set up for my own life since I'm still pretty young! Anyways, getting off topic, I still haven't really considered paying for Patreon stuff and I was always just intending to wait for stories to finish rather than investing money into them prior. I've been a COG/Hosted Games fan since I got my first phone. I've always, always loved writing but I'm an ADHD riddled silly person with an anxiety disorder so I've only ever shared my writings with my close friends and have run fun little interactive stories for them and they run stuff for me. When I discovered Works In Progress on The Hosted Games forums I was so mind blown, because I was a silly kid and also because I never conceived that there would be a such a large grouping of people playing and sharing such a niche hobby. I've taken inspiration in my writings from all of these stories over the years, and oh my lord I think I've basically written several books and two different fully fleshed out fictional universes that will never see the light of day beyond my friends. With all of this in mind, the gist of what I'm trying to relay is: -I adore writing (I've been practicing for years and years) -I adore COG content -I have VERY little free time lately because of my starting military career -I am very picky about how I spend my money, I NEVER intended to spend my money on anything unfinished. I don't typically engage in any form of creator funding outside of commissioning art for the characters in my story (like my profile picture! Shout out to Jsama Art, they're so pleasant to work with and their art is beautiful!) And yet with all of this in mind, and the unlikelihood of me being on this Patreon, your story perfectly matches my interests and the writing is so magnificent. I was considering subscribing to this the moment I finished the demo and read your tumbl page. Then I started reading through the comments, and your portrayed personality was super delightful! I also saw the toxicity that inevitably spawned and the thought that it may discourage you really hit me in the feels because you're clearly engaging in a passion project, and I kind of know how it feels when something you love gets spat on. Especially when you're starting something up you may be unsure about and you have everyone popping in with different expectations and such. You're an amazing artist, with the art you made of your characters being so freaking cool. You're an amazing writer, because oh my lord reading that story mixed with the page aesthetic and music made me spend all of my personal time for the night reading, and you seem like a genuinely cool and interesting person! And while I was already considering becoming a member, your pleasant personality and the way you handled stressful toxicity made me immediately start setting up for this. You're awesome and I think you deserve to be told as much as possible that your talents are so freaking cool! I'm so sorry for the long message, but I think you're awesome and out of probably hundreds of choice stories I've read over the years, I'm PRETTY sure yours blew me away the most! Thank you so much for writing this wonderful wonderful piece of literature!

Woah! Hi Kumie! Thank so much for taking the time to write this very long post ; w; It was very moving and reaffirming to read!! I won't lie! I did shed a tear reading this. TT^TT EDIT: Sorry I accidentally posted before I could finish writing my reply! But I wanted to say thank you so much for the support. Yeah the toxicity sucks, but its usually the 1% that causes problems and sadly they're usually the loudest. But getting nice messages like yours means waaaaay more to me than anything else. A little goes a long and I'm really working towards getting whatever I can out for you guys to enjoy. TSR is a passion project continue to work until even if I gotta work on my death bed haha. And I can relate with being anxious with sharing your personal work! It's really scary and intimidating, though I personally find it less intimidating with sharing my work with strangers than with love ones. Funny how that is. Thank you again for your kind message! Making an IF game is a time sink, but if you ever decide to try it out for yourself, I'm always happy to offer whatever help I can give <3
