June 21 Update (Patreon)

So tired. -_- I'm glad I at least have this piece of fanart to keep you company; it was an unexpected arrival on the Steam artwork page, which sometimes just gets new artwork out of nowhere.

This week I combined the releases of Deadgold and Depthless Hunger 3 with my big AMA and all related promo. I also dealt with various reports on the new TLS build, which is open to $1 patrons as well. The art pack for $10 backers has also been updated with all the new scenes, new fanart, etc.

Throne of Time briefly reached the main page of RR, even hitting #6 for a while, but it has been bumped down again. It may not be able to compete fully with the current meta of stories on the site; that's always been the case for my work, but I hoped to do better in a different subgenre.

Consulting with people who spend more time there, what's holding ToT back in the algorithm may be a lack of favorites/ratings/reviews. Now, please don't make a new account to review the story, as that would both be and look like review manipulation. But if you do have an account, please throw a favorite and rating onto the pile. And if you actually use RR and enjoy the story, it could use more full reviews.

No more promotion, please. T-T I don't like that this sort of thing matters more than my actual work, but it's unfortunately the case. At least I've cleared out a lot of it, so hopefully I will be more creatively productive by next weekend.
