an Update
Added 2024-10-21 21:10:03 +0000 UTCSo Valve has not finished reviewing the Hardcoded build And they are refusing to let me change the release date on the steam page. We are frustrated because the game is good to go and Valve is just dragging their feet, being non-responsive, being opaque, etc. BUT. We will find a silver lining:
Since we cant release today, and we want to give Valve ample time to continue to be irritating, we're gonna move the release date to Nov. 4. As you may have read in the previous update from several days ago, we're gonna be distributing steam keys to patrons who's lifetime support is over 10$ at the time of release. After that, the game will be available through a standard Steam purchase.
It's also come to our attention that on the patron side, lifetime support isn't summarized and displayed like it is on the creator side. We don't really have a solution to this other than just... Trying to recall how many months you've been a patron ahaaa. We do have the option of mass DMing everyone who qualifies. Maybe in a couple days we'll do that if uncertainty is widespread. As things currently are, we're gonna be distributing almost 10,000 keys! Woo!! Currently working on some kind of email plan to get them all out :D Anyway, thanks for the support! We'll post info as it becomes available. <3

2024-11-05 03:44:46 +0000 UTCOur membership card dates back to Jan 2023 and I'm pretty sure we've missed a couple months' payment in that time, so my guess is lifetime means lifetime!

2024-11-05 00:09:52 +0000 UTCWas just wondering, does the "lifetime support" summary on the creator's side include past memberships, or just the duration of the current, active membership? Cuz I've supported on-and-off through the years as my financial situation changed, so was curious if it'd reflect that or not. Not too worried about it, but wanted to check just in case. I know y'all're probably busy as hell with the release tho, so no rush or anything! Congrats on the launch <3

2024-11-02 00:20:31 +0000 UTCIt looks my lifetime support until now happens to only be $9, since it'll charge again tomorrow, would I still be eligible for a key? Congrats on the release!

Fortunae Virgo
2024-10-29 07:53:09 +0000 UTCIs there going to be a way to get this on itch? I have the Hardcode Patreon version on there but it hasn't been updated in a while. Thanks.

2024-10-28 01:14:09 +0000 UTCAre old save games no longer working? Or is it trying to read them from a different location?
WendyWhat
2024-10-27 21:28:13 +0000 UTCI'm sorry steams' F***ing you, that blows. I chipped in for the 10$ tier, and I just wanted to say good luck, and what I've played of the current version rules!
Pretty Pretty Princess
2024-10-25 11:58:12 +0000 UTCI wonder when the game will be released on Steam now. Im weird but I want to buy it there. (and also curious will be dates of release be different for EU and US)
Golden Buick
2024-10-25 09:40:33 +0000 UTCbeen here as a courtier since sep 2019 I remember going through some things and this game helping me. I love hc and the group but mostly I love this game and all of ghosthug. I'm happy to see your game come to steam. thank you for this game. P.S thanks for the stickers.

2024-10-25 03:32:01 +0000 UTCBeen here since October of last year!! Really really excited for the full release to come around and I'm happy to have supported you along the journey

2024-10-24 07:22:21 +0000 UTCLooks like I've been around since 2022 apparently so I think I've hit that $10 goal lol
Chris Morton
2024-10-24 05:02:51 +0000 UTCI'm amazed it's only ten bucks! Can't wait to have it in my library <3
Rachel Wolfe
2024-10-22 18:13:06 +0000 UTCDo we already know whether the steam release will be available in germany after all? Is there a workaround for german supporters to get the game too?
Elias
2024-10-22 09:15:11 +0000 UTCGosh, I first played early Hardcoded back in 2018... Congrats once you get that release on! Yup, found it! Sept 2018, patreon version 8! Now update it for another 6 years.
Josh c
2024-10-22 07:11:45 +0000 UTCThat's what we're hoping for! We still have to figure things out with Valve, including getting Steam keys from them. We will keep you updated as we get new info <3
Fortunae Virgo
2024-10-22 05:19:32 +0000 UTCmy billing history seems to only show up to ten months back but I've been in the 1 dollar tier the whole time so I think I'm good
Theblakdeth
2024-10-22 04:39:53 +0000 UTCSo if we're sure that we've contributed over $10, we just need to wait for the key to be sent?
Rockinroller97
2024-10-22 03:12:03 +0000 UTCMine just shows who and how much each month there, it doesn't sum them up, and if you back a lot of folks it gets pretty cluttered. But given I've backed since 2019, it should add up to more than 10 lol.
Michael Campbell
2024-10-22 02:28:22 +0000 UTCI was curious how long I've been backing and looked back into my billing history only to realize I've been following and waiting for the full version of this game since 2018 :o This is a really exciting time! Can't wait to see that steam release go live!
Carmina H.
2024-10-22 01:49:29 +0000 UTCso excited and so proud to have been a patron for so long!!

2024-10-22 00:10:46 +0000 UTCi figured since i was watching the game like a hawk waiting and not getting to buy it since the store page said coming soon once the time had hit for it to release I was frustrated. Now since you responded with this post I feel a little bit better not so much upset with you guys more upset with valve I feel like this is all due to that user agreement BS epidemic they had a while back IDK but I still cant wait. ;)
Jacob Sager
2024-10-22 00:06:13 +0000 UTCahhh, sorry to hear you got hit with this. can't say im surprised, i saw the same thing happen a few times in a row to the Future Fragments devs - seems Valve just kinda sucks with horny games like that
Alice Hanigan
2024-10-21 22:55:24 +0000 UTCcheers!
sharky
2024-10-21 22:43:40 +0000 UTCClassic Valve. Fingers crossed its not an issue for long!
Vee
2024-10-21 22:25:14 +0000 UTCI have not had any recurring payments yet though so can't say if it will sum the total automatically. Either way, you should at least be able to manually add it up.
Lamb
2024-10-21 22:09:50 +0000 UTCThink I found a way to check it yourself. Go to settings> more > billing history. It shows every Patreon you've pledged to with dates and the total amount spent on each one.
Lamb
2024-10-21 22:05:48 +0000 UTCI literally had the exact thought and upgraded my tier lmao
Sara holmstrom
2024-10-21 21:58:03 +0000 UTCI think that will be determined by how Valve will go about giving us keys. We have been having trouble communicating with them lol but we'll let you all know when we have more info <3
Fortunae Virgo
2024-10-21 21:55:53 +0000 UTCWe are still trying to figure out exactly how we'll go about distributing the Steam keys so it might be slightlllly chaotic haha but we'll figure it out! But yeah you qualify <3 We will update everyone with more details soon :D
Fortunae Virgo
2024-10-21 21:53:53 +0000 UTCIf you check your 'membership' tab on the patron it will tell you how long you have been a patron. If you are a returning patron, I am not sure if it shares since the date you first signed up or the date your returned to being a patron.
jojo
2024-10-21 21:41:53 +0000 UTCThis is awesome! I'm curious though, how exactly will the steam keys be distributed? I believe I should qualify since even though I'm only on the $1 tier, I've been a member for a couple years and I want to know where I should keep an eye out.
Bree
2024-10-21 21:37:28 +0000 UTCHang in there Ghosthug! Your shiny new-born will get here and we will all celebrate together!
Default Idiot
2024-10-21 21:33:03 +0000 UTCas shitty as valve is being, im super excited for the release on whatever date that ends up being! for clarity's sake, will the keys be distributed ahead of the new release date, or on it?
Casey Ogden
2024-10-21 21:29:59 +0000 UTCFor anyone interested: you can see how long you’ve been a supporter on the membership tab at a creator page on desktop or on the app you can see your tier and tap on it, where it brings you to the tier details which includes your date of your current patronage, which carries over tier switches but likely not pauses. This might give you at least an idea where you’re at.
Crowmy
2024-10-21 21:27:59 +0000 UTCnice!
Jamie Douglas
2024-10-21 21:25:16 +0000 UTCyeah you qualify dont worry :D
Fortunae Virgo
2024-10-21 21:23:37 +0000 UTCIve been a patron for years but my only worry is that I've stopped and restarted my subscription a few times and I'm unsure if Patreon saves that data when you resub. I'm pretty sure I've been a patron long enough on my most recent resub alone but I'm not totally sure.

2024-10-21 21:22:15 +0000 UTCNeato !
Koalakrw
2024-10-21 21:17:07 +0000 UTCI'm positive I qualify (I was on Sticker tier for a while and even one month of that qualifies) but the mass DM would be really a useful thing!
