Gaimoria
polycounter lvl 14
Hey guys!
Finally after several years of work, we have finally reached the point that we can launch our Patreon page
!
I'll fill you guys in with a bit about the game, and why we're doing Patreon instead of Kickstarter. If you want to learn as much as you can about the project, the best way is to go directly to our Patreon page!
>>>>> http://www.patreon.com/Gaimoria <<<<<
http://youtu.be/UI-ohjnMKZIThe main reason we wanted to do a Patreon instead is because it works month-to-month. It feels better to us to have a crowdfunding source that allows people to give very small amounts, like $1-$3 a month, rather than $20-$60 for a Kickstarter.
Secondly, Patreon focuses around subscriber-based content, and I'd actually like to try something a little different with Gaimoria.
I don't want our project to just be a game we make then sell. Being a part of the Polycount community obviously means we love works in progress, tutorials, how-tos, problem solving, etc. We are focusing the rewards for donations based off of how much content you get for learning about our process as we make the game.
We are offering tutorial-focused streaming, PSD files of our work for you to dissect, you can request specific tutorials, and we even want to give our early development builds to let people load them in to Unity to play around with them.
Anywho, just wanted to let you all know. If you guys like it, please feel free to subscribe to us and help spread the word ^_____^

Trying to push this so that enough people are wiling to help us make it our full-time jobs. I'd be ecstatic if we were hit about ~$2200 a month. It's crazy to see what numbers some Patreon pages pull in for just digital painters (like $12k a month!??!!)
I'm not looking to get rich off this like some people have. I just wanna pay my bills and provide content to those that think this project looks cool.
Thanks again guys!
If we hit our main ~$2200 a month goal on Patreon, we will be funded enough to work full-time on the project.
Oooo, gold foil. So shiny
Is that almost like being in love with someone so much as an emo teen that it hurts?
We have a ton of animated GIFs so maybe it doesn't like that? Please let me know! Web browser crashing is bad!
I also wanted to let you guys know that we just bought all our equipment to start stream testing!! Yay!
If you guys are interested in this, I will do my best to post here, on Slack, and on Skype to let you know when we are stream testing.
Good for face-to-face marketing at booths I wanna start doing here. Some day we will reach GDC and PAX
Probably going to run it for like 45min - 1hr depending on how many people show up and how much fun we're having XD

We just got done with Comic Con Honolulu, our first convention. We had a very basic playable demo so people could run around the environments. We didn't sell a much merch, but a lot of people have been visiting our Patreon site and we have several new donors which is awesome.
Here is a picture of me lookin' funky at our booth
Lots of work to do

I talk about general life, game development stuff, and Gaimoria.
It's roughly an hour long.

The biggest changes are:
-Everyone donating $3 or more a month is invited to Gaimoria's public Slack chat channels. We want to have a community of Gaimoria backers & fans chatting frequently!
-Donating $5 or more a month now awards timelapse videos! We will typically do one of these every week or every other week. We will provide links to the finished videos whenever they are done
-Donating $10+ a month allows you to get a few lines of dialogue in the game, Further details provided later.
-$20+ a month now rewards the in-game NPC instead of having to donate $50+ a month! You will also have access to our private channels on Slack to read & ask questions about what the dev team is talking about on a daily basis
-$50+ now also allows your NPC to be in a custom environment (house or whatever) within the game!
Here is a video discussing our one-year recap:
