Thanks for All the Support (and some Patreon Updates)!
🕑 Added 2024-04-24 16:41:48 +0000 UTCFirst of all thanks to both all the new Patreon's and existing ones, seeing the support from all of you after Sunday announcement, have been amazing.
Thanks to the support from all of you, we've raised over $3000 for the game over the last couple of days. Which should be enough to put April in the positive (I'll have the final numbers next week).
This doesn't mean all the financial challenges are gone, as we need to maintain this going forward and are still only one bad month away from the point where I'll be forced to scale back. But with the amazing support you've all shown, I'm sure we can avoid that scenario, and I'll also be working hard to guarantee that it doesn't come to that!
Going forward I'll also probably be sharing the economic status more often, so you all can follow how it's going.
One of the first changes I'm planning to make in the coming weeks, is to update the Patreon rewards a bit, based on feedback and suggestions from different people. I'm still finishing up the design for these, so feedback is greatly appreciated.
Free Donation Update
To start, I plan to move the free $3 drive donation from level 3 backer to level 4. Mainly to increase the amount of money going towards the game.
Patreon Chat Colors
The second idea is to add a new reward to multiple tiers, rewarding Patreon's with a unique color and glow for their name in the in-game chat. Kinda in the same style ranked champsionship rewards at the moment.
Currently, I'm thinking the following:
Level 3 Patreons: Will unlock a unique Patreon color for player names in the chat.
Level 4 Patreons: Will unlock a unique name glow to go with the name color.
Level 5 Patreons: Will unlock a new color + glow each month, and have access to all prior months color + glow where they backed the Patreon.
Level 6 Pareons: Will have access to all prior months colors + glows from level 5, even if they didn't back doing those months.
The plan is also to make the name colors and glow mixable, so you can mix name colors and glows as you like.
That's my two ideas for updating the Patreon for now, let me know what you think of them, and thanks again for all the amazing support all of you have shown!

Sounds good, thanks for clearing it up! Hope it brings more patreons in!

You are pretty much correct. You'll only have access to the level 5 colors while you're a level 5 Patroen (or level 6). If a player cancel or lowers their subscription, the glow/color will be disabled for them, but they'll get access to all the level 5 colors they unlocked, if they return to being a level 5 Patreon again. At least that's the current plan
