Timeframe (updated for Sept 2022)
This should happen within 1~30 minutes of you signing up, but may take up to three days depending on how lagged the data Patreon provides to me is.
If you need instant access, you can back the project through BMT (our other authorized retailer) via our website.
Private Game Builds Download Location
Link your Patreon account to the Researcher Portal, all game builds will be delivered there after payment is charged (see above notes regarding delivery timeframe).
Special note for Gift Code Users
Users who received a gift subscription from another user should contact me via Patreon DM, Forums, or E-mail right after activation as that process is manual. All other purchase types are automatic and do not require manual intervention.
Something went wrong?
First, verify you have a Patreon charge on the Manage Memberships > Billing History page. If the status is not marked as 'Complete', you have not yet been charged.
Second, have you linked your account to the researcher portal? It can take 30 minutes after linking for access to be granted, if you have a 'Complete' charge.
Finally, it may take up to 24 hours after the payment status being marked as 'Complete' for that change to be reflected in Patreon's API.
If you have verified the above and something is still amiss three or more days after a 'Complete' charge, please do reach out to me via Patreon PM, Forums, or E-mail.
