Added 2024-06-20 22:35:05 +0000 UTCHello my dear Patreons!
A lot of changes are happening right now and there will be some news I will be sharing with you all shortly. You can expect a bigger update next week as I'm preparing things, however in the meantime, I thought I should provide with some brief information on certain things:
DEMO RELEASE AND OLD REWARDS
Since the demo has been released and all Patreon rewards have been delivered on as Promised, the keys to the demo and rewards such as NPCs are no longer distributed. The rewards have been taken off the Patreon and will be changed in the future for something else.
Thank you to everyone who contributed until now and I really hope we have made a great demo that you are all enjoying and it overcame all expectations! We have heard some good feedback and I hope the size of the demo and amount of content of the demo shows how much passion and love was put into the project. Without your support, this wouldn't be possible, so thank you.
PATREON PAGE AND TIERS
I have slowly started reworking Patreon and you might have noticed I've updated the tiers and their graphics with some placeholder graphics until I can think of new rewards. Patreon is entering this weird transition phase between the demo and between what's next for Glyde.
Until I can establish everything all tiers of support and the amounts are unchanged. The old rewards have been removed and the only rewards at the moment are shared across all tiers and they include access to special section in discord server where you can be updated on things exclusively.
With this in mind...
If you are happy to keep contributing what you currently are and you want to support me as a creator and Glyde where it will be heading next. I will be very grateful and I will continue to use the funds gathered here to work on the project and commision artists and people who might help me make the project better.
If you supported certain tier mainly due to rewards or mainly to help with the demo development. You can either stop your support or you can reduce your tier to affordable amount that you are willing to contribute without any special rewards. Once the Patreon gets proper update and rewards will come back, then you can support the project again in higher amounts.
The project itself
I will not be dwelling on this too much right now, the demo has been finished and released we had fun and it was a big learning experience for all of us, however there are some big changes that are being put in place.
We have mutually agreed with some team members that it is time to part ways and so everyone can focus on their own priorities. The demo has taught us a lot and we will look back at it as a massive learning experience and a solid lesson. In all truth we did bite a bit more than we could chew, we weren't able to come to terms with certain things and find agreement in the direction we all wanted to take Glyde in. This doesn't mean however that Glyde is over. The project will continue with the remaining team members and I will be leading the project according to the original vision i've had which you all supported from the beginning.
This is all i want to say right now about this and I will be releasing more information and official update on the situation next week.
I know news like this seems scary and dissapointing however all I can ask you is to trust me when I say that I want to continue with the game and i'm confident I can make something good that we will all be able to enjoy.
Overall, this has been a very wild ride and I'm thankful you all have stuck with me for so long, I hope to count on your support and I will share more info with you ASAP.
I wanted to just clarify final last time here, that all your support is very appreciated however if you don't feel like you want to support me anymore, then that is perfectly fine and you can cancel your Patreon.
If you wanted to stay and keep supporting me in this adventure, I really appreciate it and I will have more information to share with you soon.
Many thanks for understanding,
Martin (Valefor)

I cannot pledge as much to the Kickstarter as I wish, but I know that over the projected time for the development I would be able to help fund more than I can in one hit, so I hope there will be either cumulative rewards or rewards to really help bring people back in
