One of the most recent Patreon exclusive surveys was about LGBTQIA+ diversity where patrons could have their say in options they wanted to see in the character creator.
Patreon supporters of Paralives get exclusive information posts about the game and a chance to have their personal input, which makes it an unusual project. But Massé and his team are working on one game, meaning that they need to approach what they give back to Patrons differently. What Patreon supporters receive differs from project to project with many indie game developers treating the platform as a monthly game subscription service. We made them vote for the name of the characters in the game (the Parafolk), vote for the name of the money in the game, details like that."

"We're trying to be really close to the community," Massé says. What we try to do with the Patreon community is to get as much feedback as we can from them Paralives founder, Alex Massé We get to know our supporters very well, it's much more community based than Kickstarter. Massé emphasizes that the community are also helping to shape what the game will become through polls and surveys they can fill out. Massé's choice to use Patreon over other services, like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, was because Paralives would be an ongoing project, and a dedicated community would be key to sustainable funding. It's too early for us to decide and announce the price of the game. One option would be giving the game to anyone who has a lifetime contribution of at least 75% of the price of the game at release. We could give the game to anyone who pledged on the $20 tier for at least a month but it might not be fair for someone who pledges for 15 months on the $3 tier and gets nothing. "Unlike Kickstarter where you pay $20 or $40 once and get the game, we can't associate a free game key with a tier.

Massé explains that the team are thinking of letting backers have beta access, but are still formulating a plan for when the full game is released. Unusually for a crowdfunded project, none the Patreon tiers for Paralives list a copy of the game as a reward for backers.
