Membership Tiers
Thank you! By backing at the $1 level, you'll get to watch new episodes at least a couple of days early, you'll receive a Patreon-exclusive link post every week, and most importantly, you'll experience warm fuzzy feelings for helping to support independent creators.
In addition to the above, your name will appear in the credits of every episode you help fund, immortalising your contribution for the remainder of the human era of history.
As well as the rewards above, you'll get a behind-the-scenes post every other week. Some of these are progress updates (in text or audio), and some are deep dives into one facet of a project I'm working on. You'll also get exclusive postmortems breaking down each episode: how they were made, things I had to cut, and what I'm happy and unhappy with. The Vault Dweller archives, an ever-growing chronicle of the creative decision-making involved over the last few years of Retrohistories, are available too.
Contribute at this level, and I'll draw you† a 32x32 pixel art version of the avatar of your choice‡, which will appear alongside your name in the credits of every episode completed while you back at this tier! You'll also get links to downloadable versions of the highest quality video files available for every episode (past and present) before YouTube compressed the snot out of them. (Though the earliest episodes were exported at fairly low quality in the first place.) Plus all previous rewards, naturally. † no promises of artistic quality ‡ nothing inappropriate please!
There are no extra perks to this tier; it's functionally equivalent to the $10 tier in every way, but it's here if, through overwhelming generosity, you want to fund double what's needed to get all the perks. The only difference is that we will secretly both know how friggin' awesome you are.
