I (Theel) am starting a Patreon Campaign. Patreon is a membership based crowdfunding platform that allows creators to get paid for their work. Essentially it allows people like you to donate to projects you support. For more information you can watch the “What is Patreon?” video here. This campaign will operate differently than our previous one. The primary difference is that I (Theel) will be the owner. The money will be for me personally to routinely work on Darkest Hour. The rest of the team has graciously agreed to support this Patreon campaign, so I would like to give special thanks to Basnett and Kashash for supporting me and Darkest Hour. This campaign will have patron tiers (lead, bronze, silver, and gold) which offer different benefits. If you’d like to support this campaign, just head on over to this page then create a patreon user, enter payment information, and pledge an amount. A successful campaign will mean that I will invest more time into Darkest Hour and players will see more content and hopefully Darkest Hour will remain on your Steam Library for years to come. Again, I’d like to thank Basnett and Kashash and also thank the community and future patrons. The specifics of the benefits include:

• Gain access to patron-only developer insights, news, and videos
• Be distinguished in game with the appropriate tier icon on the scoreboard
• Receive discord roles for the official DH discord server which give them access to Patron only channels
• Awarded additional votes (for map voting) which can bypass the 15 vote limit
  • Lead patrons are given 3 additional votes
  • Bronze patrons are given 7 additional votes
  • Silver patrons are given 15 additional votes
  • Gold patrons are given 25 additional votes
