Creature CollectionWe're charging $5 a month through our Patreon page for access to the game. The reason we're using Patreon is to automate the access so we don't need to manually handle it, making it more efficient.
As for why we're charging, it's simply to cover costs. Our game has a lot of data that is processed and stored for every player. Not to mention the cost of those we wish to hire to make the game even better. Thus we're charging a small fee of$5/month, which covers your server usage costs. So you're just paying for yourself rather than us paying for you to play.
*Note all Kickstarter backers will get their reward level worth of access. This means all tiers get at least 3 months with the highest tier backers obtaining life long access.
A "free" option is also available via our Twitch point redeems. One month access costs4.5k Twitch points. For more info on earning Twitch points check out this Twitch help page.
Game access is not currently open. A how to access the game will be added here once it's public.
We're transparent, see our simplified breakdown below:
Our basic monthly costs for the game:
$48/month flat fee for the code hosting plus additional fees per number of users and usage.
$36/month to host the site ad free. Showing all the game info, lore, and more.
Earnings:
Patreon gives us roughly 75 - 80% of what's put into. This is due to payment processing fees, conversion fees when applicable, platform fees and lastly withdrawal fees.
30% of our earnings are set aside to go towards paying business taxes and fees at the beginning ofeach year.
Leaving 45 - 50% to cover additional varying costs such as coding, advertisement, and upkeep.
In short as we grow we earn more, but it also costs more.
