How Can I Help the Trese Brothers?

[fallen]

Great question, and thanks for asking! Our community has always been an integral part of why Cory and I keep coming back every day and make new games, fixing bugs, and adding features. Your energy, creativity, and patience with our typos drive us to work harder and with clarity of vision to produce the games you love.

There are LOTS of important ways that you can help Cory and Andrew continue to make games. In fact, we can't do it successfully without your assistance. Here is a list of things you can do to help!

Leave a Rating and a Comment in your Market
Ratings and comments are important feedback that help others decide whether or not to download a Trese Brothers game. Please leave the star rating that you feel is fair for the game and leave a comment talking about what you enjoyed. If you are using Apple, please consider leaving a review for every new update, as the star rating resets each time we push an update.

Join us on your Social Network of Choice
The forum is a great place for discussing strategies, questions, bugs, features and all the like within Trese Brothers games. We also use it as a place to post all of our game updates and their change logs as each is released. However, if you really want to keep up to date with our progress, we are constantly streaming our newest art, updates, teasers, and points of interest to a wide variety of social channels.

Share us on your Social Network of Choice
As a tiny indie company, Trese Brothers will live or die by word-of-mouth and by our ability to get a wider exposure and to find new players. If you'd like to help with this, go onto your social network(s) of choice and share something about Trese Brothers. Just post "A cool game I've been playing on my phone" and a link to the specific game. Anything helps! Nothing can be more successful in helping to share Trese Brothers games than your positive message to your gaming friends.

If you happen to know anyone who runs a gaming blog, site, or review site, please share our games with them!

Pledge Monthly Support to Trese Brothers
Cory and I have recently gone full-time as indie game developers. We are doing everything we can to make this venture work. If you'd like to help out, you can support us monetarily (please buy the games first!!) at our Patreon page. You can sign up to give a monthly pledge of any amount, from $1 to $5 to even $50! We thank you immensely for your contributions, and would like state that we will be doing future KickStarter campaigns to keep this train moving, so if you want to wait for one of those so you can get a reward that helps too!

Make sure you check out the rewards for Patreon backers! They are exciting and unique and you can't get these goodies anywhere else!

We will use these funds for the following:
- Build More Games
- Buying New Devices (ICS, Nexus, New Tabs, etc)
- Funding Expenses (Servers, Hosting, Hardware)
- Buying Assets for New Games (Music, SFX, Libraries)
- Funding Kickstarter Campaigns for Future Games
- Bribing Amazon and Google to make us "Top Developers"

Join in the Discussion and Keep it Energetic and Positive
We derive so much of our excitement from sharing our games with you and the fun you have playing them. Together we can make that a continual positive circle of energy. This forum has become a great home for lovers of complex RPGs and all sorts of games, and we hope you will join in and stay!

Did everything you asked. Always love supporting you guys, now more than ever! Hopefully it helps, and if there is anything else we can do just let us know!

[fallen]

johndramey - thank you for your support! Since sharing the link around to the Google +1 page, we have seen each of the games tick incrementally higher in search rankings and their total +1 count. Star Traders is now #8 under "rpg" search and #4 under "best rpg"! All of the other games are usually 1 or 2 results behind ST!

[johndramey]

Awesome! Do you guys feel that there is a noticeable difference when +1'd or retweeted? I'll be honest and say that I never used to do those things until I came here, so I'm not really aware if I'm actually helping you guys out or not. In fact, I think it might cause you email spam when I go through all of your posts and click "like" or comment on them. If you've noticed, I tried to tone all that down because I was worried I'd come across as a nut to you guys. If, on the other hand, it noticeably helps, well then I'll start commenting and liking everything on facebook again!

johndramey - the Google +1 in the link page I posted is the permanent +1's for all the games. Just raising those numbers helps us be better found (recommends us) in searches on Google Play and Google in general. Liking, Retweeting, and these other social shares are helpful as well. Facebook is always measuring "engagement" and it cares alot. Tweeting matters more about who's following you. If you like what we are saying and want to share it, please do so. Don't feel the need to do it religiously, and don't ever worry that we will think you are a nutter

[captain nemo]

Yep ... I've +1 all the games & blog posts. Like & Share you on Facebook & of course retweet you on Twitter. Given $$ when I can, am a big Kickstarter supporter & currently saving some money for the next KS project

I'd do even more if I could Lol because I think you guys are the very best dev's around and make the most incredible games out there !!!

[fallen]

@captain nemo - best devs with the best community -- its a killer combo!

[Lesleyr]

fallen How about giving us a hint regarding what you''ll be Kickstarting?

[fallen]

Lesleyr - we have so many ideas bouncing around, its hard to say what will win out. Our focus is right now on making sure Heroes of Steel is a success and that our backers are pleased! Most likely, it looks like our next KickStarter would start about the same time that we started the Heroes one, perhaps March 2014. It will be a game

[Lesleyr]

fallen Thanks for the the info it helps me budget.:-)

[Kovacs]

I +1 for Cyber Knights II: The Rebirth..

[[e-mail]]

I guess you guys are the best indie developers around. And just for the humongous effort and sustaining a game like this I have gone ahead and bought this game. I really appreciate the kind of product support and updates you guy deliver and even more thrilled at how cool the community and forum members are giving cues.

Keep up the effort. Have asked a few friends of mine to go ahead and buy your games.

Warm regards,
Vinay

@vinay - thanks for your post and for sharing our efforts with your friends and gamers! We are on a mission to be the best, and to do that, we have to listen and work with the best (our community) and work tirelessly to execute! Enjoy the games!

[Alex Fury]

+1's and shares across the board with my account. I don't use twitter, FB or such, just G+, so did there what I could. And I do tell others about it if they're the type to enjoy these games.
