Notice of In-Progress Betas

We have not yet decided the tier at which future betas will be offered, but we expect the tier to increase from the bottom $5. Patreon has changed enormously since we started offering betas at that price, and now it is easier than ever for Patrons to switch tiers to suit their needs for the month. 

For example, it is possible now for you to simply switch to whatever tier the beta is offered at when the beta comes out, and then drop down to a lower tier after downloading the beta. 

We will make a further announcement on the price and date of future betas when the time comes.

Notice of Lifetime Contribution Tracking (Rewards)

We will be no longer be using lifetime contributions due to Patron's limited UI.

For the Patreon exclusive early release for our current project we will be creating a tier dedicated to this reward, to get the early release you will need to switch to this tier in the month we announce the game is available for early release to qualify. The price for this tier is currently tentative but more information will be released closer to the time.
