Topic: Funding Update and Custom Galaxies

Hi everybody.  First of all, a big THANK YOU to our Patreon subscribers.  In our first month we've got 7 of you signed up which is awesome!

So speaking of that, we've set up our first funding goal: having Imperial Conflict pay for its own operating costs.

Keep Imperial Conflict Running

If we hit $104 monthly on Patreon that will be enough to keep the game self-sustaining no matter what else happens.   Specifically, meeting this goal will pay for:

  • Hosting costs for 2 servers (production and testing)

  • Domain management

  • Patreon's cut

  • Tax on Patreon earnings

We have other goals too, but this will be our first funding milestone.  I'm happy to say that we're about 47% of the way there already.

I'd like to remind everybody that you can subscribe for as little as a $1/mo contribution.  Every bit helps!

For those who want a little more out of their contribution, we also have a new subscription tier.

Custom Galaxies

For $15/mo you can become a "Deity" level Patron, and create a custom galaxy for you and any/all other Patrons.  The galaxy setup is entirely up to you.  If the feature is supported, your galaxy can have it.

Some ideas:

  • Is 6 weeks too short?  Set up an Extended-Length galaxy for however long you want.

  • Is 6 weeks too long?  Set up a week long fight-fest with a 10x10 map and 1 million Fighters and Droids for everybody to start with.

  • Want to compete on Infra alone?  Forbid attacks entirely and run an econ competition.

...and lots more.  Additionally, Deity-level Patrons also get a custom forum tag.  Snazzy!

Feel free to become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/imperialconflict

Thanks again to our existing Patrons, your support keeps us going. smile
