Yes. To clarify, I post all of my content on YT for free, and Patrons help pay for it if they choose. This model seems to make everyone happy.

- adanto6840 6y agoThat's awesome, not only for you but I especially applaud those who pay for your content. As a game developer it makes me wonder if there's a viable & addressable market there, to work on a single game "long-term" without feeling the crunch from Steam/reviews/etc.
- jetrink 6y agoDwarf Fortress has been crowd funded since before Patreon existed and now has a Patreon page. I'm not sure you'd call it a total success though as the creators lived frugal lives for a long time in order to survive off the donations.

- elliekelly 6y agoThere seem to be some developers who make mod content for games who do well on Patreon. Edit: I also just realized I know of a game developer on Patreon for a game that hasn’t been released yet. It seems he (and presumably his team) earn $40k/month: https://www.patreon.com/alexmasse https://www.patreon.com/alexmasse
- ionwake 6y agoI just want to know how paralives got interest in the first place - did they get big on Kickstarter or Patreon first ?
- geerlingguy 6y agoThis is the model this boat builder (https://sampsonboat.co.uk/ https://sampsonboat.co.uk/) is using and it's definitely a win-win for creator and audience, IMO.
- chongli 6y agoI love that you continue to treat your channel as a hobby. The fact that you only post things you find interesting keeps the quality extremely high. There aren’t enough hobbyists around these days. I’m so glad I discovered your channel!
