(Future Fragments) To clarify a few things to new backers (Patreon)

Hey, so a lot of new people signed up to support us in the last month or two since the Public Electric Demo, and we're really happy to have you supporting us :D

However, I've gotten a few people who were unsure as to how the reward system worked, as well as to where you get your rewards at, and how to get to the Backer Discord, and how that works as well.

So to start;

-----------------------------------------
HOW REWARDS WORK & EMAILING YOUR REWARDS

For all the (TIER REWARDS) per tier in bold, as well as getting a copy of the game, you only need to pledge ONCE at that tier to get that reward; once you've paid one month for that, then you no longer need to pledge at that level to get those specific rewards, and you will be getting updates to that reward tier indefinitely.

So for instance, if you pledge to the $50 editor tier, you can literally leave the Patreon after doing so, and never pledge again, and 2 months from now when we release another editor build you'll get it, and the same 4 months down the road, 6, 8, 10, and on game completion too.

Same goes for the soundtrack and audio pack, you'll get updates to those, so on.

Now, granted, we would hope that you'd continue to pledge as this game is our full time job and 100% of our income, as well as us putting about 90% of what we make on this game (after paying bills/rent) back into the game, so your support is a large part as to why we can afford the quality of sound and content in the game.

All that said, getting access to game demos and the activity feed DOES require you to stay subscribed at a pledge level that has those two bonuses, so $5 or $1 minimum, respectively.

Next, any of the rewards that say (optional) alongside them are simply that; you don't *have* to get said optional reward, you can pledge just to support or just to get a copy of the game.

If you don't want the rewards, you'll be able to let us know in the email you'll get regarding the rewards. And speaking about that email;

All (TIER REWARD) rewards are sent to your email you signed up to Patreon with; this means you'll want to check your email if you move to a new tier or this is your first time pledging to the Patreon at that specific tier!

The email that I'll be using to send you your rewards is hentaiwriterpatreonrewards@gmail.com, so make sure you've got that unblocked on your spam filters. 

Finally, all the game demos are posted to the Activity Feed, and you can click the big "featured tag" button on the left that says Demo to see all of them currently released.

THE DISCORD

https://discord.gg/puXrfSm 

As the Discord is public, you won't be kicked from the Discord if you're not backing us anymore, of course.

-----------------------------------------
ABOUT THE OLD FIRE LEVEL DEMO

Something we get asked about every so often is the old Fire Demos; while we'd love to post up a standalone version of that demo, we don't for a few reasons.

• The biggest one is that it was done on an old engine, with the old programmer, and as such we'd not want it to be out there in the wild, representing what our game is, when it's changed so drastically internally and externally.
• The other main reason is that we simply don't have a copy of the old version; the Newgrounds version was converted with Frouge's help, but only in HTML5, so there's no way to post a standalone version of it, and the HTML5 build needs to be uploaded to a server to run, so it's just not really practical to give it away and then all the troubleshooting and support we'd need to give for it, when the above comes into play also.

However, the game, when complete, will have another Public Fire Demo level, this time at 100% quality for the final game, and that'll be posted on all the websites and such of course.

-----------------------------------------
HOW TO CONTACT US

As Frouge and Triangulate basically have no social media, most of the ways to contact the team outside of the Discord (where the full team is at) involve contacting me (HentaiWriter) initially.

You can do that by just leaving me a message at;

https://hentaiwriter.tumblr.com
https://www.twitter.com/hentaiwriter
https://hentaiwriter.newgrounds.com/

Or on email, at hentaiwriter@gmail.com, or leaving me a message or a comment here; I respond to practically all comments and messages.

Thanks as always for your support, we're pushing on to the next Earth Demo which should be out at the end of the month!
