Patreon Revamp: Design your own Bokken and outfit in Hometown Hero, get sneak peaks, more

I’ve finally done it – I’ve set up Patreon. No, I mean, I’ve gone through and really set it up! I did my best to think through what benefits you would all like and enjoy, and I wanted to give you something to be excited about, so here it is. Please let me know in the comments if you think I should tweak any of them.

Please consider supporting my dev journey <3 Appreciate you all being here! I’ll start posting more information on bokken designing, character outfits, enemies, show off more combat for Hometown Hero, more world design and so on over the coming months – stay tuned! Even if you can’t afford to support me via Patreon, please consider following me on Twitter for updates on the game (and Retweeting them!), watching my latest Devlog on YouTube (below), or just stopping by the Discord to say hi and hang out!
