I think we should consider creating a structured funder program, similar to how Kickstarter works.
The core idea is simple: the more you fund, the more rewards and recognition you receive.
This wouldn’t be about pay-to-win or locking content behind money.
It’s about acknowledging support and giving people a reason to contribute long-term.
Public recognition (credits, supporter lists, special mentions)
Exclusive Discord roles or titles
Early access, behind-the-scenes updates, or maybe even cosmetic-only perks
People like to feel that they are part of a project, not just spectators.
A clear reward structure gives supporters identity, status, and a sense of belonging—which is exactly why Kickstarter-style funding works so well.
This kind of system could:
Encourage recurring and higher-tier support
Make funding feel rewarding, not just charitable
Help the project stay sustainable without hurting fairness
I believe opening a discussion around a Kickstarter-like funder program would be healthy for the project and worth exploring.
Yeah ahahaha, but some how it feels lack of it. I mean exclusivitiy is not feelble.
What I mean by that , is to have a other funding methods rather then patreon.
Youtube membership, or a kickstarter funding and exc.
There is already benefits to be funder, but no future promises that they might benefit or something they might like it to see in the game.
Why we limiting ourselves with 1-5-15 euroes and not add 50 and 100 euro limited subscription and pretty special things according to that.For example choose one feature or in game something special to their username as a memory. Maybe a easter eggs ?
For example, I dont see any text or button or a visiual that promotes players to fund the game.
Adding something like, Support us button and giving a clear idea what will this support will go and what is our roadmap would help create more loyal funders.
And example to previous topic seeing Big funder’s ( Vip exc.) names in the shooting stars would surely make them happy and make them more like to stay and controbiute more.
I am aware of its open sourced and people generally do whatever they want to do. But I also believe that we are a team should move in a coordination.
Asking fund will make us lose nothing and even best case if we do it right, I am sure that it will help thrive a lot since 1.0.0 Already published.
