A quick reminder about early-access. (Patreon)
Content
With Radiant Chapter 5 currently live, I figured you guys would appreciate a reminder/breakdown of how we handle early-access here on Patreon.
While the game is currently in pre-alpha, we use a descending 7-day early-access model regardless of the build-version.
This works as follows:
Gold ($20+): Immediate access to the game download.
Ruby ($10+): Access to the game download 2 days later than Gold.
Silver ($5+): Access to the game download 2 days later than Ruby.
For a total of only 4 days before the game is released to all-patrons.
Other platforms such as Itch.io: Access to the game three or more days after $5 patrons, depending on the build.
In other words, starting from the moment the game is released to our $20+ subscribers, the game will be in early-access for a total of 7-days, with each respective tier getting it 2-days apart from one another and everyone else/other platforms getting it after a total of at least 7-days.
If you have any questions about how this works or why we do it this way, feel free to post in the comments below. I honestly cannot wait to hear everyone's feedback and criticism regarding chapter five. Thanks! Love you all!
