July 2018 Patroncast Submissions - Now Closed

 Hello!

Welcome to Sunset of July (oh, I like that, I'm going to use that again), and thus a great time for the July Patroncast submissions.

Just in case you're new, this is where you get to ask questions, suggest topics, or argue the merits of normal vs light Ribena, and all that ends up in a nice podcast thing that should be ready this coming weekend.

So ask away, and I'll update this post when the Patroncast is recorded, so as long as there isn't an edit below saying that, ...

The Darwin Project Event is now complete

Thank you so much to everybody who was able to attend and help us make this video, and apologies to those who we couldn't squeeze in, or who missed their window (unfortunately, a private lobby can only exist for 15 minutes before we begin, or it shuts down).

The video is currently planned for this Wednesday.

The Darwin Project Community Playday Update

Hi all,

First, thanks for the amazing response to the post yesterday - it's hopefully going to be a great event.

Now, some details.

Starting from around 4pm UK-time on Sunday at the absolute earliest (likely a tiny bit later depending on ease of set-up), I will set up a private game, which generates a numerical code.

I will then start picking folks at random from the application thread, and sending you the code via the Patreon messenger tool. To redeem the code, you start the...

Want to be in a Many A True Nerd video? Read on...

Hello all!

So I want to make a video, and I'm going to need some people's help, so naturally you lot get the first chance if you want to actually be in a video.

The Darwin Project is one of these battle royale games the kids seem to love, with a bit of light gathering and crafting thrown in, but with an important difference - one player is the Game Director, and gets to capriciously hand out help, hindrance, or nuclear explosions.

Naturally, I fancy being a Game Director.

But...

April 2018 Patroncast Submissions - Now Closed

Hello!

So as the last weekend of April falls so late in the month, we can be moderately sure this Patroncast will fall in May (as usual) - but that's good, as you do actually need at least a little time to get in your questions :)

Just in case you're new, this is where you get to ask questions, suggest topics, or argue over whether a week runs from Sunday to Saturday, or Monday to Sunday.

So ask away, and I'll update this post when the Patroncast is recorded, so as long as there is...

March 2018 Patroncast Submissions - Now Closed

Hello!

So thanks to the days that this weekend falls on, there's actually a chance the March 2018 Patroncast might fall in March! Possibly, anyway.

Free Steam Codes!

Hi everybody,

EDIT: All gone, folks. Sorry if you missed them.

I have some Steam codes to give away, so have some free games. Some are duplicate games from Humble, but most are for ATOM RPG, which I covered a while back (it was looking good), and the dev sent me a bunch to give away as thanks, plus a few others sent to me by appreciative devs.

First come, first served, please don't take more than one, and please comment if you get one so I know they're all gone :)

Just This Once, Everybody Wins

Hi all,

As you've hopefully seen by now, I'm thrilled to confirm that Patreon have indeed backed down in full over the new fee structure - https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/

I think this is a win for all of you in the community, for all creators, and will in the long run be a win for Patreon itself.

And I want to thank you for helping - I've been communicating pretty muc...

Changes to Patreon Fee Structure

Hi all,

So by now, I believe all of you should have received an email from Patreon, explaining the Patreon fee structure is changing. This isn't going to be an easy post to write, but I'm going to try to unpick some of this to make everything as clear as I can, as you guys are awesome, and my first priority is to you.

Up to now, what happens is that you guys pledge what you choose, and then Patreon took a small cut out of that to cover its costs - 5% as a minimum, and then a small amount...

EDIT: This has now been recorded, so further questions cannot be included.

It's time for me to put together this month's Patroncast, and it's even still October literally everywhere in the world, which is quite frankly impressive.

Patroncast - July Audio Re-upload (this is NOT the new episode - that's later today)

Hi all,

As promised last month, this is the July Patroncast's audio, uploaded to Patreon's own podcasting tool thing, as it wasn't there last month due to a excessively high file size that we've now fixed.

This is not the new August Patroncast. That is coming later this evening. I just needed to upload this updated July one now so they were in the right order in Patreon's player.

All the best,

Jon
