Hello there! After a period of silence, I return to you with news! I know, I know, que the white doves and angel choir. BUT! without further delay, let's jump right into it.
As you will have noticed. Right now there aren't any real rewards being given for pledging different amounts to my Patreon. Other than the monthly updates to the game that is. That's why I'm introducing:
Jester Cards!
What are Jester Cards?
Each month I'll be given you guys a code which can be redeemed at an ingame ATM.
Depending on your pledge, you'll now be able to get rewards. Ranging from items to outfits. Not only that, but each card will also give you access to
all cosmetic rewards from previous months!That way you only ever need to fill in 1 code to get all your rewards. The tiers look like this:
- Tier One ($3+)
- Tier Two ($6+)
- Tier Three ($10+)
What's in this month's pack?
Well I'm glad you asked! This month (July) will include a new outfit for Sam, as well as an Intel boost, materials for crafting gadgets and a bundle of pick pocketed goods, which can be sold for ingame money.

Do Jester Cards lock off content?
No. All Jester card rewards will become available ingame when the game releases. This is a way to get them a little earlier. If you're not comfortable raising your pledge then fear not. Just wait till next month and you will receive all the rewards from the month before.
Are Jester Cards rewards random?
Nope, each month's rewards will be linked, so you can decide for yourself if you want to up your pledge or not. No lootboxes here.
Will Jester Cards always have an outfit?
The content will change from month to month. I will try to have interesting rewards for you guys, but I don't want to put unneeded pressure on my artists.
Will story content be locked behind Jester Cards?
No, it's just a small extra something to thank people for being patrons. In the future you may get items that allow you to speed up story content, no content will be put behind a paywall.
Are there other ways to earn Jester Cards?
Yes! Although not the main focus, there will be other ways to earn Jester Cards, some with unique outfits / hairstyles / accessories, etc. These will all be free, but require some searching around to find.
What about the $20 and $50 dollar tiers?
I'm still mulling over what to do for these tiers. I want to do something special, but I'm still on the fence on what I can realistically do. If you have suggestion, do let me know!
--------------
So that about wraps it up. I'm interested to hear what you have to say about the Jester Cards. Do you like them? Dislike them? No real opinion? Do let me know cause it's good to have feedback on these kind of things.
See you for next week's update.
