Patreon Pricing Update and New Perks
🕑 Added 2025-04-08 11:55:47 +0000 UTCNote that this pricing change affects new Patrons only
A year has passed since I shared the engine's source code here on Patreon, and the engine has received a lot of upgrades since then.
To accommodate all these new features and new perks (see below), the price of the Optimiser tier will increase from $5.00 AUD to $8.00 AUD on the 1st May 2025.
Patrons that join before 1st May 2025 will keep the $5.00 AUD pledge amount forever, unless they cancel and rejoin.
Also for those unaware, subscribing via Patreon's iOS app is more expensive due to Apple's App Store fees:
New Perk - Discord
After using Patreon's messaging system for a year, I can confidently say it's not that great.
I've set up a new Vercidium Discord server, which is available to Patrons on the Optimiser tier. There are dedicated spaces for chatting, asking questions, showcasing your work and talking about topics like voxels, raytracing and OpenGL.
Link your Patreon and Discord accounts to get an invite to the server
New Perk - Early Access to Demos
I'm creating an interactive Raytraced Audio demo using a trimmed down version of Sector's Edge. This will let you:
position audio sources around the world
customise raytracing, filters, effects and other audio properties in real time
modify the destructible environment to hear how the audio changes
Given Sector's Edge is now running on this engine, it should run on Linux as well. We shall see. This demo will eventually be shared publicly, but Patrons will get access to it first.
What's Next
I'm currently working on the audio demo mentioned above, as well as replying to emails and YouTube comments. So far 340 people have filled out the expression of interest form which is a lot more than I expected! It's great to see so many devs interested in audio.
Also, we hit 100,000 subscribers today! Thank you to everyone who subscribed to the channel, I never thought I would hit these numbers.
