Full-time content creation and Patreon reward updates
🕑 Added 2019-01-29 22:58:06 +0000 UTCThis update will contain 3 things: News, updates, and thanks. So lets start with the most important thing and let me say thank you to all the people that have supported me and gotten me and the mod to where they are now. Thanks to the incredible recent influx of support on Patreon I am now confident that I can make it as a full-time content creator.
News
Starting this week, I'm going to commit to streaming full-time, both Modding and Gaming. On the modding streams we'll tackle 3d modelling, coding units, testing content, overhauling ground, and all other modding related content. With the new Patreon reward system you guys will have direct say over what units we'll build on stream (Like the current Starforge) and what games we're playing. More in the Updates section.
The gaming streams will be just that, playing through some of my (and your) favourite games like Knights of the Old Republic, Empire at War, and much much more. I know my audience is mostly Star Wars related, but some games will be non-sw related like Starcraft and FTL. The gaming lets plays will be uploaded to the youtube channel for those who can't catch them live. We'll also start doing community matches either Saturday or Sunday where you guys can smash me in EAW Remake Multiplayer on-stream and be forever immortalized as that guy who obliterated the mod dev.
Updates
I want the community to be involved in what we do on stream and as such, I've decided to overhaul the Patreon reward system. The following changes are going to be made:
Lieutenant First Class:
For the EAW-Remake Community challenge, pick a corvette that I can use and name it.
Field Commanders:
For the EAW-Remake Community challenge, pick a corvette or frigate that I can use and name it.
Access to the community matches hosted every Sunday or Saturday.
Access to vote in the monthly build stream poll, what unit will be make on-stream?
Access to vote in the monthly game poll, what game will we play on-stream?
Fleet Admirals:
Remake Community challenge, pick a corvette, frigate, or capital ship that I can use and name it.
Access to the community matches hosted every Sunday or Saturday.
Access to vote in the monthly build stream poll, what unit will be make on-stream?
Access to vote in the monthly game poll, what game will we play on-stream? For the EAW-
You may pick one corvette, frigate, or capital ship already in the mod that you will receive a special one-off buildable hero for, with a special skin/decal/weapons/ability, just for you. You may also choose to include other Fleet Admirals' flagships. This reward is just for you and the other Admirals and won't be included in the public download. Your special units creation will also be streamed!
Grand Admiral/Grand Moff/The Director:
For the EAW-Remake Community challenge, pick a corvette, frigate, capital ship, Battlecruiser or Star Dreadnought that I can use and name it.

Community Challenge: Rebellions are built on hope, and good patron submissions
At the start of February, we'll start a Patreon Community Challenge that will work very much like the Challenge from Corey Loses' Lets plays, with his permission.
The Patrons will be asked to submit their ship name (and class of course) and those will be the only units I can use for the duration of that playthrough. When I run out of ships, I lose. I'm counting on you guys not to spam DP-20s here. When February comes I'll make a seperate news post with the details.
Are you stopping the dev build releases?
Yes. I want to get rid of the monthly dev build releases. Why?
If people are willing to support the Patreon for me, the stream, and the content on the youtube channel, it is a more secure future for me as a content creator than if it is focussed on just the mod. This is a major step for me since I know a lot of my supporters are here for the dev build at the start of each month. Of course I am still developing the mod, but the Patreons focus has to shift away from that. I hope that with the reward tier overhaul it's enough value for you guys to consider supporting even without the dev build. The January dev build will release as planned. After that, either monthly or bi-monthly, I will release the dev build publicly on our Discord server for everyone to download. The Moddb releases will be limited to feature complete releases only. This is to ensure that new players do not receive unfinished or buggy content.
Stream schedule
The stream schedule is on our Discord server ( https://discordapp.com/invite/QEND6DT ) and I will link it here as well:
Monday --- The Dutchman's Day off.
Tuesday --- Modding, 12:00 CET - 20:00
Wednesday --- Modding, 12:00 CET - 20:00
Thursday --- Modding, 12:00 CET - 20:00
Friday --- Either modding or gaming, 12:00 CET - 20:00
Saturday --- Games like KOTOR, FTL, Starcraft, 12:00 CET - 20:00
Sunday --- Empire at War playthrough from 12:00 CET - 16:00, Remake Community Matches from 16:00 - 20:00
Closing words
Mod creation will proceed as normal, probably even faster, now that I have more time I can dedicate to modding. I hope you guys will continue to support me and the mod even if the dev build is free released to the public, and I hope to see you around on the livestream!

Hi Jeroen nice to meet you. where can I get the mod you're streaming on youtube would be great to test it, I 've already downloaded the EAW remake 2.2 version but it's not the same can u share it?

Hi, Dutchman. I was wanting a mod that includes the Bellator, I had one about 2 years ago (maybe an old version of yours?) but I can't find one now. I saw a video of your mod with the ship, but the Light version on moddb doesn't have it. Is that something the version through Patreon would offer?
