I'm not sure about how much is ok to give away about what we are seeing. One of the best features of Patreon art is you can one click zoom in on the images to really get a closer look at the details. The Pirate Officer is going to be very popular but the Technologist Doctor is a must have for me, he looks too cool to leave behind. I wonder what effect he might have on boarding crew losses or exploration missions.

I think you should mention all you like. If it tempts others to become Patreons, then ... great.

I think people on the budding artists thread will be fascinated by the techniques he reveals on Patreon. There is this thing called an occlusion layer that gets merged with the 2D line drawing. Makes all the shading perfect and takes on a more 3D look, then the color makes it snap. The pictures he is creating are a big step forward and worth a look. New images are not limited to ST2 there is some cool stuff about HoS, Templar Assault 2, early AoP I never know what's coming next maybe tattoo stencils we can print off and take to a local parlor? "Seriously buddy you really want the tat there? Maybe you outta go home and sleep it off things will look different in the morning"

Technologist Doctor Great! I really like your choice of the green uniform with the white cross. This is one of the more complex facial features I've seen you do. The high strong check bones set off by the low square jawline does provide a sense of mystery about his origin. The charcoal black tattoo on the bald head is very tech looking even that has shading to retain the curvature of the bald head. I'm very happy and impressed with the almost cat's eye curved slash to the pupils and the pale colored large corneas on the eyes. Have you ever noticed how a malamute's eyes have that spooky pale blue? Really makes you feel like something very intelligent is behind them and weighing the balance between being petted or eating you. If you continue adding pointed goatee or beards to the male characters then I expect to see you with one in your next interview clip! Even if it's a glue on fake hahaha

John Robinson - lol, I know you can add mustaches to yourself in Google Hangouts, so you might see this yet! I was really happy with the eyes and expression, it went from semi-creepy in the first line art to smart and discerning in the final.

Nothing? Not even a peep? That's kind of disappointing. What are we doing wrong / how can we do better? If I may, I think you ought to write up a short essay explaining the connection between revenue and output. I think it gets lost on people the sheer value of a Trese game. Some aren't making the connection that if they support you on patreon it helps you to continue development. Some Trese fans are a little spoiled with all the updates. They expect so much from y'all, even if the well runs dry. So maybe just an essay explaining the value of Trese company, and how important additional revenue is for continued development. I think we ought to organize some kind of IAP day. Like if you sell enough iaps in a given time period, folks can vote on the next IAP from a set of choices that fit your roadmap. I don't know. I don't want TBG to starve from modesty.

qbspy - great idea. I will try to write up something short in the next month and post it around. We starve ourselves from modesty from multiple directions. We follow a responsible IAP policy, we never run ads, we keep updating existing games instead of only making new ones, we make huge replayable games and jam them full of content and features in (I think) arguably a fashion few others do in mobile gaming. Patreon will hopefully continue to grow and help us continue these policies that make Trese Brothers unique and special.
