Patreon FAQ

How does Patreon help us produce games faster?

The short version is, the more income we receive from Patreon, the more time we can devote directly to making games.  This is especially true for lead developer Mark Lemmert, as his day job is freelance consulting. The nature of this job is such that he can adjust his workload as he sees fit.  This literally means that for Mark, income from Patreon translates directly to more game development hours each month!

Will 6502 Workshop make more games anyway, even without Patreon support?

Probably.  However, Patreon support helps us to do so much more quickly!


What sort of perks and insider access is available through Patreon?

Depending on your pledge level, you can get access to the Inner Circle Discord channel where only 6502 Workshop developers have access, and an invite to the monthly live video chat with the 6502 Workshop developers, insider updates, exclusive swag, and more!
 

Thanks for your support of Nox Archaist!

Nox Archaist Expansion Pack! **NEW**

 Announcing Nox Archaist: Lord of Storms!

PREORDER LORD OF STORMS HERE

 

You have learned of Lord Estintar’s suspicions that the cult has something to do with the increase in storm activity. He charges you with investigating. The task will not be easy, but you accept this duty.

Your quest will take you to uncharted reaches of the Isles of Wynmar. Traps, puzzles, and powerful magic items await, which may or may not be able to help you.

Those brave and foolish enough to face these perils will come face to face with the Lord of Storms!

The Nox Archaist: Lord of Storms digital download includes:

• New HDV hard-drive image for Apple II, Mac, or PC
• A brand new quest line
• New mobs and new unique items
• New features, including character renaming
• PDF of the manual

Note: This is an expansion pack for Nox Archaist, and requires the full game to run.

Other News

After announcing its release last month we sold out of the Making of Nox Archaist print edition! Many thanks to everyone who bought a copy! 

We've got more copies in stock now, available to order here (full-color print + ebook or separate ebook).

In the Making of Nox Archaist, co-founder and lead developer Mark Lemmert talks about how making the game began as a childhood dream and ended with the first commercial role-playing game released on the Apple II in 30 years. 

Mark describes the challenges, including a failed Kickstarter, the Apple’s quirky graphics system, and getting decent audio out of a one-bit speaker. Along the way, the team received help from many sources, including Richard Garriott (Lord British), Dr. Cat, Burger Becky, and Steve Wozniak (Woz). Finally, after a wildly-successful Kickstarter and a year of non-stop coding, Mark details how an obscure floppy-disk bug nearly derailed the entire project just weeks before release.

We hope that you enjoy reading our story! Order HERE!

And, you can help us make more games and related products like this book by supporting our Patreon!
