Charge Upfront Activated!
Added 2016-10-13 21:08:26 +0000 UTCHey all!
Good news! Patreon heard my cries and added us to the beta for their new charge upfront feature. This means that patrons can now get instant access to digital rewards via the Patreon feed. Here's the way it works:
- New patrons are charged immediately for their pledges, allowing them access to the feed to download their rewards.
- If an existing patron increases their pledge, then they are immediately charged the difference from their existing pledge and their new one. This gives them immediate access to the tier reward they upgraded to.
- If an existing patron decreases their pledge then they are not charged anything, but will then only have access to their reduced reward tier's rewards.
In general this makes the Patreon model much more secure, since people can no longer "sample" content and then bail without fulfilling their pledge. It also means I have to do much less legwork in getting digital rewards out to patrons, freeing up more time for development.
I've uploaded the reward posts containing download links, so if you haven't gotten yours yet then you can find them below! They will always be posted on the 'Overview' page of the campaign, as well as linked to in the 'Featured Tags' section on the left side of the page.
$3 Reward Downloads (Game Versions)

Ah, I almost forgot to mention that I've uploaded the early releases of the game to the $3 reward page!
As always, thank you for your continued support, and let me know if you have any questions!
