If you are reading this, it means you have chosen to back GBATemp on Patreon!

Whether you be a part of the original Cool Kids Lunch table or the new kid on campus, we welcome you!

Members who pledged $2 or more have the following perks:
  • Automatically enter the backers raffle: get free stuff without effort!
  • Be part of a special member group allowing to vote for the GBAtemp Bounty
  • Support your favorite online community!
Or, if you were feeling a little more generous, backers of $5 or more have the following perks:
  • Automatically enter the backers raffle: get free stuff without effort!
  • Be part of a special member group allowing to vote for the GBAtemp Bounty
  • Support your favorite online community a lot!
  • Fully ad-free site on desktop and mobile versions
Or even better, you chose to sacrifice your entire wallet to GBAtemp for a whopping $10 or more a month! You have the following perks:
  • Automatically enter the backers raffle: get free stuff without effort!
  • Be part of a special member group allowing to vote for the GBAtemp Bounty
  • Support your favorite online community a great deal!
  • Fully ad-free site on desktop and mobile versions
  • Early access to exclusive site styles (eg. dark theme) and beta testing

Now, keep in mind the Patreon is a monthly payment. This means that if you pledged any amount of money, you should be prepared to give that much up at the beginning of each month!

Now, about the raffles/bounties!
Both of these are quarterly! This is because GBATemp needs to have enough money to purchase the prizes/pay the winners of the bounty. You will be required to manually enter each of the raffles/bounties. If you don't want to participate, then don't enter. This is to even out the chances for those who are more active than others.
Let's be honest, if you aren't active, then you shouldn't get a prize! The last thing that we want to happen is for somebody to be inactive for a year just to claim a $25 gift card!

Some common misconceptions:
  • We are immune to suspensions, bans, or warnings! This is absolutely not true! Many think that because we are helping GBATemp financially, that we don't deserve any kind of discipline. In fact, everybody is on equal playing field when it comes to discipline. But even if you get banned, it doesn't mean you have to end your patronage.
  • Patreon is a one-time payment. This is definitely not true! If you want to make a one-time donation, the best way to do so would be to contact @Costello so he could receive it properly! Don't go pledging $100 only to find out that it is a monthly payment.
  • Anything that makes you immune to criticism, discipline, or other things of the sorts. Kind of copies point one, but I really want to point this out.

This thread was made as the replacement of the "Thank you for your Patronage ;)" PM that you may or may not be a part of.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
