I can do if we meet the $500 goal

I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone that is pledging support for my project. I am truly humbled by the amount of support that I've received so far. Although I'm making the game for fun as a hobby, it is always nice to know the work is appreciated, and your pledge will help motivate me to continue producing episodes for the game through completion of the storytelling.Well, Brad's Erotic Week (BEW for short) is an Adult Interactive Fiction game set within a custom universe based on a soon(ish) to be published series of books. In the game we follow Brad Jenkins through a week of his life as he is introduced to the Guild of Schadowes. During the week, Brad finally ends a multi-year dry spell of dating with the option to woo 8 different women over the course of the week. The game is episodic with a planned 3 seasons over the course of the week. Each episode is planned for 200-400 pages in size. Season 1 follows Brad from Wednesday Morning through Friday Morning. Season 2 will follow him from Friday Afternoon through Sunday Afternoon, and finally Season 3 will follow him from Sunday Night through Tuesday Night to finish up the week.Yes...and no. There are some similarities to a V-Date game here, but in BEW, your decisions matter. I mean they really, really matter. As in, there will be over 80 unique "winning" endings to the game. You can play a scene, such as going to the Bar on Wednesday night, for five or six replay's and have a significantly different story each time. Not only that, but when you go to work the next day, those decisions carry over, and combine with your decisions at work, that impact the stories of the next night. The idea is to tell a story that is enhanced by some erotica, with immersive characters.I'm glad you asked. You can download the game from the official forum at https://bew.rocks/forum. Check out the Download and Technical Support category of the forum. While you are there, create a free account and say hello!Sure! All rewards are handled through the forum at https://bew.rocks/forum, but there is no automatic linkage. I have to manually set the permissions on your forum account. All I need you to do create a forum account, and then send a PM to Wolfschadowe (That's me!) letting me know that you are a Patron, and also tell me what you Patreon handle is so that I can easily verify your account. Once I know both your BEW Forum handle, and your Patreon handle, I can link the accounts in my records and promote your forum account to give you the proper access for your rewards.Patreon will charge your pledge amount every time I release a new episode. Depending on the size of the episode, that will be once every 3-6 months, with most episodes releasing in the middle of that timeframe. The current target is to release once every 3 months, give or take a month depending on the overall size of the release. If you pledge $1, that may total anywhere from $2-$5 a year, unless you cancel your patronage. I advise setting a monthly maximum to make sure I don't start spamming the release button! :) Not that I would ever do that, of course.It's a way to say "Thank you" for making an enjoyable game. New episodes to Brad's Erotic Week will always be free, but giving a token amount it's an easy way to both show your appreciation for the work, and to encourage me to keep making the games. This is my hobby, and it also has costs associated with it. I don't mind paying those costs myself, because I enjoy making the game, but it sure is appreciated when I get some help from those who enjoy playing my creations.Additionally, I will give various thank you rewards at various levels of patronage. Over time I may add more rewards as I think of them. If you have suggestions for rewards, let me know!It has two purposes. First is to help limit the number of people who make a large pledge, grab all the goodies, and then cancel their pledge before it funds. That's not fair to those of you who are honestly wanting to support my efforts on the game, and the rewards you are expecting.The second purpose is to provide a continuing thank you to those who continue to fund at the highest levels.Nope. you can make a one-time donation via http://bew.rocks/donate. Give me enough information to link that donation to your account here, and I'll credit you a funding! I don't recommend that you do this close to a new episode releasing though!I understand that life happens, and we all hit hard times. If you cancel your pledge, or reduce it, your rewards will be reduced as well. Your level is based on total dollars supported divided by the total fundings since you first pledged, or the amount of your last pledge level, whichever is greater. As an example, if you made 3 successful fundings at the Dinner level ($75 total), but have to reduce, or cancel, you will loose Dinner level access after the first missed funding, but will reduce to the Lunch level because $75/4 is $18.75 per funding which is greater than the lunch level. After 8 fundings you will drop to the coffee level becaust $75/8 fundings = $9.38 per funding, which is below Lunch, but above Coffee. Reducing your pledge works similarly and you will slowly drop to your new pledge level. You will only lose patreon status once your funding drops below $1No. I'm always trying to think of new ways to say thank you for all of you who are supporting the development of the game. If you have cool ideas for new rewards, or new milestone goals, let me know!Yeah, I know. Maybe it will get better over time, but just think. The more time I spend trying to make an awesome Patreon site, is less time I spend trying to make an awesome AIF game!Yes, and no. All the images below are rendered using iRay whichis now happening! All the images are taken from scenes in the game, both present and future, however All characters were removed, and in some cases a cup of coffee or beer mug was added as appropriate to the pledge level.
