Thanks again for donating! This was the post where I originally laid out my plans for this account, but now that I'm doing Patreon full time, I thought it could use an update.  Here's what you can expect from this Patreon.

Regular Core Game Releases

I put out new sections of my core game (currently The Last Sovereign) roughly once per month. Since they follow logical blocks of story, they may take slightly shorter or longer. My work rate has been fairly stable since I began focusing on games full time, so while bugs can still slow me down occasionally, you can expect steady updates.


Weekly Updates

I give progress updates once a week, generally mid-Sunday. Sometimes they're reflections on my work, sometimes announcements of releases, sometimes just quick reports, but I like to stay in touch. There are additional posts for special announcements. $10 backer threads can occur at any time when something about the game needs to be voted on or I want to gather feedback.


Occasional Side Projects

Though most of my work goes toward my core game, I like to change pace sometimes and work on something else. Expect to occasionally see some shorter, more experimental games from me (such as Ouroboros or Crimson Gray).


Free Commercial Releases 

My patrons are my core supporters, so the last thing I want to do is charge you guys for my commercial releases! Basically, if you've given me the equivalent of the price of one of my commercial games, you deserve that game for free in addition to whatever rewards you got for your support! 

So if you've given me $10 - whether that's one month at $10 or ten months at $1 - then you're due a free game at that price! When I come out with a $5 game, that one will be five, or Desecration of Wings is $15. Basically, your support gets you that month's rewards, plus credit toward commercial games! This still applies if you supported me in the past and had to drop your patronage for whatever reason.

If you're in the $10 tier when I release a new game, you get that game, guaranteed, and the $10 still counts toward other games! Currently the total of all my commercial games is $35.

I'm very grateful to all of you, so feel free to ask questions or make suggestions. See you next update! ^-^

Altoar

just wanted to make that monthly number nice and round

Elthelien

Had to pledge after spending 40 hours playing the most recent public release, haven't had as much fun playing a RPG Maker game in a long time

sierralee

Glad to hear you're enjoying the game, and thank you very much for your support!

Trevor

You make good stuff! Your TLS is one of the only games that I found due to the smut but stayed for everything else. It is right up there with MGQ/Paradox in the "disregard porn, save world" category. The imminent release of DOW, which has a similar appeal, gave me an excuse to bump up to $10 and you certainly deserve it. Hope you continue with your work for a long time to come!

sierralee

Thanks, glad you're enjoying my games! You've bumped up at a good time - you'll be getting a special update post fairly soon, and a free copy of DoW as soon as I finish dealing with Steam!

Mazinzilla

Hi, I just signed up. I saw your games available on DL Site, and I figured Patreon would be a better way to go. So as a new sign up, am I able to request a game like Desecration of Wings?

sierralee

Hi, thanks so much for your support! Patreon is indeed a good option and you'll get a significant discount compared to DLsite - but do see the "Free Commercial Releases" section of this post. You're a short distance from a copy of Desecration of Wings!

Hello! I'm a big fan of your stuff (TLS, KoD, Noxian Nights), so I figured I'd start putting money towards you. Been recommending TLS to everyone I know after having reached the end of the current content, haha. That being said, am I able to request for Desecration of Wings? If I'm reading it correctly, the $5 I gave last month and the $10 I gave for this month gives me $15 to put towards a commercial release, right?

sierralee

That's correct! Appreciate you reading the post - and I'm very grateful for your spreading the word! Expect a link via DM shortly.

Martin Hunt

Hey I just wanna say if I could give $50 a month I would but then I would go broke XD absolutely love TLS I cant wait for more updates.

Mazinzilla

Hello again, I believe I've accrued $20 now. Would I be able to request a copy of Ouroboros and Crimson Gray?

sierralee

Yes! I'll send you your links shortly, thank you for your support!

sierralee

Thank you very much for your support! I don't want any of my fans going broke, I want you around to keep enjoying the game. XP New TLS release tomorrow, hopefully!

Bloody_Hadouken

Hate to necro a little, but after playing part way through the game, I have to say I'm extremely impressed overall. Well done.

Hierophant Prime

Just joined and I'm really loving your work. Bought your stuff on steam too

sierralee

Thank you for your support, and I'm glad to hear you like my work! I appreciate you getting my games on Steam - if you'd have time to drop even short reviews, that also really helps! Just glad to have you here, though. ^-^

Hierophant Prime

Thanks saw some stuff about TLS and even played one of the versions you released. Best indie Rpg I've ever played no bullshit.

sierralee

Thanks, I'll keep making it the best I can manage!

smurf

Gosh, I didn't know what to expect but The Last Sovereign really took me by surprise! It's probably the best Bioware-style RPG I've ever played, so I figured I should pitch in now that I've made it through to Stenai. I'm happy to have found the game by chance, but it does make me sad that I almost missed something so great. Would it be alright if I talked it up a bit on Resetera?

sierralee

Thank you very much for your support! I'm glad you've enjoyed the game so much. ^-^ I would certainly not object if you wanted to tell other people about TLS! Work like mine basically lives or dies on word of mouth.

Bruno Sauvagnat

Hello, I gave what I believe your great game the sovereign was worth (50) could you kindly send me link to some of your other experimental projects? I am curious to try it, but it's not the end of the world if I don't get it. Thanks for the amazing game!

sierralee

Hello, thank you very much for your support! Reviews also help if possible. ^-^ Are you asking for my completed games, or something not listed on Steam? You're due the former as a patron, whereas with the latter I'm not sure which ones you mean (experimental projects often turn into finished projects). Your membership this month will get you my updates talking about my very next project, though!

Bruno Sauvagnat

Thanks! I am already at chapter 5, so I will finish the game and then write a review. Oh I'd love to have access to your finished projects if it's possible. I really enjoy the last sovereign and would love to explore other of your work once I am done! No need to send me experimental projects if those are still in the pipeline. Btw, just a side note, are all the painting made in Janine retreat made by fans of the game? The style is very different and I was wondering if you let other people give their own shot.

sierralee

Much appreciated! I will send you a message with a link shortly, and as for projects in the pipeline you should get some info on them soon. ^-^ All Janine's portraits are by the same artist as the rest of the game, actually. We did try to use slightly different styling because they're in-world paintings, and of course a few are intentionally strange.

Le dang khoi

Hello! I just joined the patreon. TLS has me gripped so much that I cannot stop thinking about it for the last whole week. I would like to ask that at what price point would I be able to ask for e-copies of the books you have written? I wanted to send you 50 dollar straight away, but somehow was given a first month discount dropping it to only 20 bucks haha

sierralee

Wow, are you saying that you tried to give $50 and Patreon just... decided to only take $20? That's how it looks from my end, and it actually explains some strangeness I've seen. Anyway, thank you for your support, and I'm glad that TLS has gripped you. ^-^ Your first pledge is worth a couple books, so were there particular ones you wanted? Send me a message and I'll send over some ebook links!

Helm

Hello ! I recently discovered TLS, loved it, and went through it *way* too fast (valid ethical calculus is a major kink of mine). I will be donating for the forseeable future, if only to feel closer while seeing you put more of your work into the world. Regarding the free commercial releases mentioned in this post, I have a few questions: - I intend to consume *all* content you have produced. Is there an order for doing so that makes more sense to you ? I planned to do it chronologically to also see your own progression, but that may not be so meaningfull... - How does one go into redeeming access to such past games or other works ? Bothering you directly every time seems quite forward, but that's what I understand from the other posts here.

sierralee

Hello, thanks for your support! I'm glad that you have enjoyed the ethical calculus of TLS. ^-^ My work varies considerably, but it all stems from my brain, so hopefully you'll find some other things to enjoy as well. And if you haven't already, I always ask everyone to review so that more people take a chance on my work. Chronological would not be an unreasonable way to go through my work, though the actual progression it shows would be a bit strange: I can't always pursue the ideas I want, projects take highly varying lengths of time, and so forth. You could also consider taking it by genre: I have several RPGs, a couple VNs, my books, and so forth. There aren't so many people asking for past games that it takes all that much of my time, really. All you have to do is send me a message here! If you have enough months accumulated you could get them all at once.

Helm

I'd love to read your books ! I could probably get a couple epubs with my first month ? I dug around to find everything you wrote, and I'd like to start with New Game Minus as it looks like the serie is complete.

sierralee

I'll send you a message shortly!

Mike Arlington

Hey Sierra! I was wondering if I could get a copy of Once Ever After? I've been meaning to start working my way through some of your other work :) Out of curiosity, I think the answer is no, but I'd like to ask: do you happen to have any way to purchase your books from a storefront that isn't Amazon and ideally in a physical format?

sierralee

For OEA, I'll message you a copy just after I send this comment! For books, I can do ebook purchases through Patreon, but only have physical copies through Amazon, sorry.

Mike Arlington

Thanks! And no worries re: the physical copies, totally get it :) I'd love to purchase a copy of Soulhome through Patreon then, though I'm not sure how to do that.

sierralee

It's the same credit system as games, so just message me your preferred format. ^-^

Mike Arlington

Oh, great :) A PDF would be ideal please. Thank you!

sierralee

Fortunately, I have a PDF version on hand. Will send it shortly!

sakkra83

I am playing TLS for years now..... I think i started with the version where you went to the trading outpost the first time. Since then i only registered regularly improvement both of the story and the character. And that is what a RPG is all about. I finally got a decent paying job, so I am able to support you. Even if it is just with 5$..... How much is that in Euros? Nevermind. I even got Ourobos on Steam for a discount price, and that was reallly funny....Greetings from good old Germany

sierralee

Hello, thank you for your support! I'm glad TLS has brought you enjoyment over the years and it's good to hear your situation is improving. I look forward to bringing you more content. ^-^

Makenshi

Hello, big fan - I played through Once Ever After on Steam and recently picked up The Last Sovereign. About 40-50 hours in, finished chapter 3, and got the note about art in ch4 potentially not being complete, so of course came over here to subscribe and get more stuff for ch4 completed! I believe I have Ouroborous from a previous Nutaku sale though haven't tried it yet - I'm primarily playing on Steam Deck / ROG Ally so was afraid of incompatibility lol. I did the year up front payment for $120 since I love your stuff - hope ch4 art is done soon!

sierralee

Hello, thanks for your support! As a matter of fact, I have a new art post scheduled for next week, which you should automatically get at your tier. I'm not sure about Ouroboros compatibility; it should mostly be fine, but there is a non-standard jump button that may not get mapped automatically. If the version you have doesn't work, you can always ask and I'll pass along a direct link. ^-^

Dr. Genesis

I'm baaaaaaack. It's good to see you're still making steady progress after what, 5 years working on this game?

sierralee

Glad you have you back with us! Yes, this has been a labor of love for quite a long time. ^-^ We're getting close to the last chapter!

Roragok

Looking forwad to the project!

Charred Heretic

I'm just really impressed that you've managed to take what seems to be mostly stock RPGMaker assets and, through your own incredible writing talents spun that straw into the pure gold that is The Last Sovereign. The masterful skill with which you simultaneously touch my heart and tickle my fancy is worth far more than I can afford to pay. I don't know how long I'll be able to maintain this payment schedule, but I just needed to show some support for a project that has done so much for my entertainment.

sierralee

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you supporting my work when you can, and I appreciate even more that my game has had a positive impact on you. ^-^

Andrew Beaubien

I have a problem Sierra Lee, and perhaps after years of pitching your own content, you might have an insight. The Last Sovereign is the best RPG I've ever played. Hands down. However, I cannot for the life of me convince my friends to try it. How can I convince people that sex is just the subject and rpg maker the medium for your art?

Seriathus

Hah, I have (sorta) the same problem, though in my case it's less that they're turned off by the genre and more that they're lazy assholes who keep saying "sure, I'll try it, after I finish my massive unfinishable backlog of stuff I haven't even bought yet"

Jasen777

Have I given enough to get Ouroboros and Desecration of Wings?

sierralee

You have! As thanks for your support, I've sent you links to both. ^-^

Phonyhomeless

I suppose this is the best place to request links to the games (assuming I meet the milestones)? It's not entirely clear from the post, but I've seen you respond to these sorts of messages over the years.

sierralee

Here is fine, or you could send me a message. You're well past the milestones: do you want links to all my games?

sierralee

You should have just received a message containing all the links. Thanks for all your support over the months!

Phonyhomeless

That I did! The depth of this game and the openness of its development makes it worth every dollar.

Asdrubale

I just tried the free copy of Ouroboros, it's great! I just added a 10$ pledge, could I have the 2.0 version? Thanks!

sierralee

Thanks! I just sent you the link via PM!

momoshino

I've been following for a while now and finally was able to start pledging :D. I pledged for 10$/month and am I able to have a copy of Crimson Gray?

lostone2

First of all, sorry for the necromancy post What is the instance on your books? I'm not sure why you can download some books and not others in your alt-Patreon and the Patrons of this campaign have access to them or not. I'm already here, BTW. Sorry if I'm late to the party...

sierralee

Hi, glad to see you here too! Patrons here can get access to all my novels, they just have to ask. Patrons at the higher tiers of my SFW Patreon should be able to download all my books too, the links are just spread out over many posts.

lostone2

So far, I had only found the .epubs for TWC 2 & 3, the TBS first book and the Grimdark novel that I have no intention to touch (sorry about that). Would you mind send the links for the other ones? I have yet to buy the TBS series on Amazon (will do this month or in December in the worst case), but seeing that I have a new, great e-reader with notetaking capabilities (the Kobo Elipsa) I was hoping to read them in something better suited for the task that my Android tablets or even worse on PC. BTW, I'm really, really glad to know about the Switch ;) . You should definitely do a Amazon Wishlist at some point.

sierralee

To be honest, I'd have to hunt through old posts as well. Which books are you wanting free copies of? Am I reading you right in that you're asking for the TBS books in epub?

lostone2

The TWC1 will be appreciated as well, but my main interest is the TBS books. Given the changes in the Kindle app in the PC has gotten increasingly difficult to convert DRM-free *.azw books (it happens with Baen Books, for goodness sake!) to .epub versions, I will prefer no to mess with that too much, but your time is way more relevant than me so...

sierralee

Okay, I've sent you the links via message. They operate on the same credit principle as games, but you're more than good for it. ^-^

Sergio Dos Santos

Thanks for TLS, is the first thing I wanna say lol There hasn't been a game that made me this hooked in years, and gaming is pretty much a big part of my life (I even might have created a game or two, in writing xD) Anyway, I was going to pledge 10 bucks but that in my country would translate to 30 bucks and I don't really have that kind of monies atm, maybe later xD right now I'll have to make do with a 5 bucks pledge. Sorry '-' (kinda weird, paying for something and saying you're sorry you can't pay more...hmm..*ahem*) Anyway, thanks '-'

sierralee

I'm very grateful for your support, thanks!

riceguy20

Finally got a chance to play (and fully complete) Crimson Grey, and remembered all over again why I need to support your work. Rather than wax hyperbolic like I'd originally planned, I'll simply say: thank you for your amazing work.

sierralee

Oh, I'm glad to hear you liked Crimson Gray! It's a bit of a niche story, but I'm happy that it can find people who appreciate it. ^-^ Thank you again for your support! You should get a look at a side game and a side project this month in addition to the usual, so there are some fun things ahead.

Antonio

I have been following you for sometime now, and finally I am able to help a little.

sierralee

Thank you very much, I appreciate it a lot!

AznBrownie

I said I would pledge on newgrounds so here I am! :D

sierralee

Thanks a bunch, happy to have you with us!

Pseudonymous

I would also like Ouroboros 2.0, please.

sierralee

Sending me a message is best, but I try to catch comments here, too. Sent you a link - thanks for your support!
