Who am I?
My name is Jesse, I go by the alias "F0lak" online, and I'm a game developer from the wide open fields of Alberta, Canada. I've spent the last decade of my life cooking professionally across the country and in light of the covid-19 pandemic I turned my attention back to my passion project from my younger days: Hazordhu. I've spent the better part of the last year tuning the game that was originally released on a small community website called BYOND nearly 15 years ago and have been polishing it up for an Early Access release on Steam this coming March, in order to celebrate it's 15th birthday. I truly hope that this small game will be able to attract enough attention for me to be able to step away from the kitchen life, and be able to create a home-based career for myself that will allow me to spend more time with my family, and continue to create and share happiness and memories with the world around me.

What does your pledge do?
Game development takes a lot of time! Supporting the game here on Patreon means that you're helping me to work from home and be able to spend my life doing what I love. Your pledge helps me to pay my bills, pay the talented contractors I commission for the games artwork and sound assets as well as cover overhead costs such as the website and game servers. Most importantly, it affords me the time to do what I love, and that is to make a fun game for people to play and have the time to connect with and interact with the community that's grown around it!

How do I connect with my Patrons?
Patrons get access to an exclusive section on the discord! This area is used to show off the latest development news, ask for more in-depth feedback on the game and really listen to and talk to you about what you like and don't like about the game, as well as share more behind the scenes stuff and life events. As a Patron, you're part of my family too, and I love getting to know all of you! I also connect to the Patron Voice channel whenever I stream on Twitch, so Patrons get to be a part of the fun too!

Starting in March I will be posting 2 updates each month, exclusive to Patrons!

The first one (at the beginning of the month) will be a video update where I will show off some of the new work I've been doing, whether that's new creatures, factions, areas, pixel art, music, sound or whatever it may be! There won't be too much programming though I promise!

The second update will be a deep dive into one of the many systems in Hazordhu, which the Patrons will vote on! This will include a bit more code, some math, and lots of fun pictures and quips! If you like dad jokes, this will be the place to get them!
