What do established novelists and D&D Dungeon Masters have in common? They both know that world-building is an inherently sticky process. Patrons choose from a range of benefits, from extra pony slots ($1) to new and developmental features unavailable to the general public ($10). Pony Town has three tiers that range from $1-$10. Whether they’re exploring the game’s pixelated world or chatting with other ponies, players have patrons to thank for keeping the game free-to-play. In the browser-based game Pony Town, players get to design the pony of their dreams. Patrons can listen to their podcast without ads ($5), join in on an exclusive, monthly live stream with the hosts ($10), or get an on-air shout out ($20). What’s Good Games took the something-for-everyone approach to membership by launching with seven different tiers. Don’t be fooled by their charm - from IGN to Gamestop TV, the hosts bring some serious credentials to their video game news, analysis, and playthroughs. Whether they’re unboxing a swag package from 2K Games, or talking us through the trauma of PS4’s Last of Us Part Two, listening to the What’s Good Games podcast has the vibe of a fun, multiplayer session with your best buds. So instead, we narrowed it down to some of the top game creators, developers and commentators, who are using Patreon to grow their tight-knit communities and support their work independently. Making a list of all our favorite gaming creators would take longer than getting through Last of Us Part Two on permadeath mode. While this year is a little less glorious on our side of the leash, one silver-lining (if you can even call it that) is that gaming creators on Patreon are releasing a ton of great content to keep us occupied and entertained while we’re stuck at home. Our pets will look back on 2020 as the glorious year that their humans never left the house.
