Empire of the Under Growth patreon

[Redmoth27]

I was thinking of a way for Empires of the Under Growth to get donations from people that love the game. How about you set up a patreon page. There could be a link from the wiki to the page, and you could have a patreon tag for donating.

Interesting thought - I don't think it's needed at the moment, since the guys have just opened a new way to support the game before early access using itch.io (visit http://www.eotugame.com and click "Support the Development" to use it).

I know a lot of content creators are drifting towards business models like Patreon, mainly due to poor ad revenue from services like Youtube. It's not strictly relevant to Slug Disco just yet, I feel, but it's an interesting idea.

Can't we just get a way to purchase it directly through steam? I would like to support the game but I don't have PayPal or anything like it.

You can now actually support the game through itch.io - visit http://www.eotugame.com and select "Support the Development". We haven't announced that fact yet (we're waiting until the backer's keys are sent out for that).

So when I support the game on itch does that mean I get the backer level/version of the game immediately or not?

 

[MikeSlugDisco]

Yep, immediately. You get the download for the backer's demo and a Steam key for the early access that starts in the summer.
