February Story Reward! The Merchant Princess Finale! (Patreon)

As mentioned in my post early this am, this release (while a little shorter than I'd like) is a bit of an exciting moment for me. The Dungeon of Lewdity: Origins of a Merchant Princess is DONE. This is the first of my stories here on Patreon to have an actual, definitive, ending! in part, that's due to some early works being part of open-ended short story series, rather than something that was intended to have an end. Even so, it's a nice milestone I'm basking in at the moment. 

As it happens, it was also something I'd originally meant to happen sooner. Much like The Dungeon of Lewdity itself, I'd designed The Merchant Princess story as something that could actually be finished in a reasonable timeframe. Originally, I'd intended the story to have no more than 3-4 parts, rushing through a single individual's experiences in The Dungeon. That intention didn't last long, as I quickly realized that my own character-development-centric writing style made it almost impossible to get through multiple rooms in a single 'part.' As a result, I extended the size of the project within the first few releases, leading to an 8-part story covering 5 (or 6 depending on how you count them) dungeon rooms. 

This actually worked out nicely, since it led to us reaching the end of the story just as the game itself is starting to approach completion. Which doesn't mean there won't be more DoL content! Not only are the possible follow up games planned for DoL itself (stated as 'possible' only because the choice of follow-up game is going to be subject to patron voting, starting next month!), but there's at least one additional DoL story that I have notes for. Involving, as it happens, the backstory of Suska the Succubus.

Anyway, enough rambling! The story, as always, is attached to this post as a PDF. Enjoy!
