In the month of November, we've already put out over 10 major upgrades across our six games. We continue to strive to improve our games, work closely with our gamers, and to execute a unique community-oriented approach to game development. I want to thank the 17 patrons who have signed up to give anywhere from $2 to $50 to help us continue on our mission. You are taking a big, active role in helping us continue to improve our games and release updates. If you'd like to join the Patreon team, get a vote in polls about upcoming content, or see a sneak peak of the WIP art from Trese Bros for our next games, secret projects, and upcoming updates - join us on Patreon. www.patreon.com/tresebrothersAlso, thanks to the Patreon team for the ad-free forum! |

Also, thanks to the Patreon team for the ad-free forum! Yes, thanks guys! I, for one, hate ads and since I like these forums, I was going to ask the brothers if it was paid (to remove ads because I always run a browser ad-blocker, though I was almost positive it was), now I don't have to. Though I only play one Trese Brothers game of which I bought all content, I will join the patreons (is that the British spelling?) to further support their efforts. I doubt I can offer much, but I'm sure every little bit helps. So, thanks to the patrons for enabling things like ad-free forums and continued development and, thanks to the brothers for writing quality software with customer satisfaction in mind rather than just money generating dribble. |

Trasd - every little bit helps! If more people joined at $2 a month, it would make a huge difference for us. Patreon is just a wierd spelling  I think they did it to make their site name stick out (which does work).

So, instead, I'll just donate when I can (tough times right now) or buy some other TB games. |

Trasd - thanks for considering it. I hope others will take a look as well. We don't run ads, and we do hundreds of content updates an only add an occasional IAP. We hope you can help us continue our unique way of making games.

We hope you can help us continue our unique way of making games. Yes, I will try and, when I finally release my own RPG (I'm guessing at least another year), I plan on following the Trese Brothers model as a template. BTW, I forgot to ask, which other TB game resembles HoSE the closest (UI and play, not necessarily content)? I will go ahead and invest since I cannot do the monthly thing right now. Thanks. |

Trasd - I would suggest trying out Star Traders 4X Empires. Like all our games, there is an expansive free demo. We do our best to make good games for gamers, and we thank everyone for your support!

Trasd I can't trump fallen since he's truly the expert, but I might consider looking at Templar Assault, or Cyber Knights, they're slightly older, but worthy of consideration.

I forgot (see, I really do have a bad memory), I already own a license for Templar Assault (FAotD on Amazon). But, as my goal is to support TB, I've installed the free versions of both CK and ST4XE. I've been looking for a good space game, but CK looks fun, too. I'll probably end up getting both eventually, but as most of my free time is spent coding right now (except the last couple days where I'm taking a short break), I'll probably end up getting the one I like the best, first. Thanks, again. |

this a great deal !!! as a Patreons member I feel I get more than my money's worth... I think the art stream alone is worth the price. I Highly Recommend using this, even if it's only for a couple of $$ a month  |

I've finally figured it out... one of the limitations I have is that in the corporation that is my household, my CFO (aka wife) audits all credit card transactions, and although she supports me supporting the TB's (she even pronounces "Trese" more correctly than I do), she doesn't want me to keep providing funding. But I've now discovered those credit cards where you load money onto it, and then just keep topping it up. I will have to officially get my first "secret" account where it will be purely set up just so I can become a Patreon  |

Trasd if you are looking for a good space game I highly recommend Star Traders. It's one of the best games ever.

qbspy, I downloaded it already, thanks! Once the family settles down, I plan on checking it out. I'm completely new to the genre, so I don't even know what to expect. I've played Vendetta, Quintet, and a couple others like that, but ST looks different from all of them - more strategy than arcade, I'm guessing (I'm not a fan of arcade, especially on my Android). I'll find out soon enough!
