Terrak Games currently has enough funding to produce our first game. This includes outsourcing, marketing, new workstations, and a few other expenses. So why did we create a Patreon?
To put it simply, the more funding we receive, the bigger and better the game will be. We currently have one Lead Level Designer, and one Lead Programmer, and that is it. The current workload of marketing, managing social medias, Q&A, VO, sound design, and everything in between will be split evenly between our two developers. With more funding however, we will be able to add more members to our team and they will be able to help where help is needed.
Our current developers have the skills and knowledge to produce and ship this game fully, but who wouldn’t like a little bit of help sometimes? We’ve set up goals to reach on our Patreon to give estimates where we feel comfortable adding to our team. Let’s go over them:
$2,000 Per Month: We will expand our PR and Marketing Operations for the game to reach more people and broaden our audience. This will include full-time Patreon, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Website managing.
$7,000 Per Month: Short and Sweet: More Maps! We currently have plans to ship 12 fully developed levels with our game at the start. We’ll be able to add another Level Designer to increase this number and ship the game with way more levels!
$14,000 Per Month: With this level of funding we’ll be able to add 2D and 3D artists to our team to increase asset creation and quality.
$18,000 Per Month: At our max goal we’ll be able to add more experienced programmers to our team to help create more features, systems, and mechanics to our game.
We currently have 4 Tiers for anyone who would like to become a Patron. Let’s break down each tier to give a little bit more of an explanation:
Ambassador ($12): Unlock behind the scenes content such as Developer Vlogs, Pictures / Videos of early gameplay as well as your name in the credits of the game as an “Patreon Ambassador”.
Sponsor ($48): Gain previous rewards as well as a Free Digital Copy of the Game’s Official Soundtrack on release of the game, 8K UHHD HDR Wallpapers, and the Official “Terrrak Games Vol 1 Sticker Collection”.
Partner ($256): Gain previous rewards as well as access to Alpha & Pre-Alpha Dev Builds of our game while in Development, Exclusive in-game Terrak Games Weapon Skin (which is only for Developers, Partners and Founders!), and the Partner Box – a custom Terrak Games Designer Box which includes the Official “Terrak Games Vol 1 Sticker Collection”, Terrak Games Dev T-Shirt, and a Thank You Card.
Founder ($5,000): Only one person may be a Founder. Gain previous rewards as well as become an in-game Character that will be modelled after you! You'll also be able to name and design your character that all players can play as. Instead of the Partner Box, Founders receive the Founder Box – the same as the Partner Box except it also includes a high-quality Laser-Etched Terrak Games BlenderBottle© and the Official Terrak Games Developer Lanyard that only the original 3 members have!
If you would like to support us and unlock these awesome rewards, become a Patron today! When the shipments arrive and we begin setting up our Partner and Founder Boxes (very soon!), we will post images on our socials so you can see what they look like! (Trust me, they’re amazing!)
