Important: Patreon reward tier changes after Steam Early Access launch
🕑 Added 2022-08-27 20:35:46 +0000 UTCHello all!
With Steam Early Access launch right around the corner, it's time to announce the specifics about the upcoming changes to the GHPC Patreon reward tiers.
First of all, the support you've all given us up until now has been vital to the success of the project, and we want to thank you sincerely. Through the contributions of several thousand dedicated supporters, GHPC has been able to grow from one man's side hobby to a serious game project. That's incredibly cool, and it inspires us to push forward every day.
Now on to business. The patron rewards will be changing alongside the Steam launch on September 6:
The itch demos for GHPC (both public and Patreon) will be deactivated and no longer supported, as previously announced. If you previously downloaded a copy, you will be able to play it locally. All future development of GHPC will be distributed via Steam until further notice. As previously announced, patrons who have contributed at least $25 USD in lifetime donations will receive a Steam key (those on the list so far have been sent notification emails recently).
The ability to add your name to the credits will no longer be available. If you're an IFV tier patron and want to be listed there, tell us what name you'd like now, before September.
APC tier ($3) will no longer provide demo access. It will retain the Discord role, giving access to exclusive channels and direct communication with the devs.
IFV tier ($5) will be retired. Existing IFV tier patrons will have identical benefits to the new APC tier. New patron names will no longer be added to the credits.
MBT tier ($10) will no longer provide demo access or addition to the credits. Other rewards, including the Github activity feed on Discord, will remain in place. A new reward will be added: access to exclusive early WIP teasers and development stream recordings (see CAS tier).
CAS tier will be added at $25. This tier will grant access to exclusive development hangout streams on Discord. During these streams, we'll be live demoing and testing upcoming features and chatting with the community. CAS tier patrons will be able to participate in these sessions live.
The previously announced intent of a closed build testing tier is no longer planned. Instead, we may occasionally open up Steam Beta branches or Steam Playtest runs. Patrons will be notified of these plans ahead of time and have the best chance of getting in, but anyone will be able to join, per the mechanics of Steam's testing systems.
That should pretty much cover it! In other news, we're planning to release a small bugfix patch for the itch demos before Steam Early Access launch. This will be the last update for those demos. As previously stated, all GHPC development will now proceed on Steam for the foreseeable future.
Thank you again for supporting us, and we look forward to taking GHPC to new and exciting places in the future!

The list has already been finalized
Whoops i am late on the ifv tier reward (name in the credits). Is that possible anymore or did i burn my opportunity by being late? Either way no worries. It was amazing to get the game on early access, can't wait for the full release.
Thank you very much for the key, was not expecting that. Now I will just have to figure out how to use the key to get the download... :D

Got my Steam key. Tank you very much! :D
Congrats on the upcoming release! I think I was in the IFV tier, should I manually change to the APC one, or would it be automatic? Also, I don't remember if I added a name to be put in... On another note, since I chose to pay yearly, how does it count towards the total? (Or to be more straight to the point, would I be able to get a key? :P)
oh rly? :( isn't it possible to make it happens anyway?

Congrats on the imminent Steam release!
GHPC Dev
Yes
Did I make the list?
I just wanna say thank yall for including the steam release if we've been supporters. I think a lot of us would have been fine paying full price, but it feels like such a great "thank you" to have free-ish access
GHPC Dev
We will send the keys on the 5th or 6th.
GHPC Dev

GHPC Dev
You're over $25 already and will be on the list.
GHPC Dev
If you were over $25 by August 25, you should have received an email from noreply@gunnerheatpc.com informing you that you will get a key. No keys have been sent out yet. You will get your key on the 5th or 6th.
Is it possible to up my pledge to get a steam key or did I miss the boat?
Hello! Pretty sure I'm at the $25 dollar mark as of this month but didn't get an email for a key thus far.
