Hardcore Gaming 101

@hg101

Hardcore Gaming 101, also known by their username hg101, is a remarkable creator on Patreon who has dedicated themselves to preserving the rich history of retro video gaming. Since its establishment in 2004, Hardcore Gaming 101 has become a go-to resource for comprehensive overviews of long-running game series and a platform to shed light on lesser-known cult classics or obscure games. With over 3000 articles hosted on their website, the creators at Hardcore Gaming 101 pour an extraordinary amount of effort into each piece. Not only do they possess extensive knowledge of the genres they cover, but they also take screenshots and conduct research from sources in various languages to deliver a thorough and digestible package to their readers. Recognizing that quality work deserves compensation, Hardcore Gaming 101 started incorporating advertisements and accepting donations through Paypal in 2010. The funds generated primarily go towards compensating their hardworking authors and expanding the site's content and quality. However, despite the site's increased popularity and traffic, ad revenue has not matched expectations. Rather than resorting to constant news posts and listicles like larger publications, Hardcore Gaming 101 remains committed to producing longer-form pieces that focus on gaming history. To overcome this challenge, Hardcore Gaming 101 launched their Patreon in 2014. Thanks to the support of generous donors, they have been able to significantly increase their publishing frequency, releasing 2-3 articles every week along with a weekly podcast. Moreover, they have expanded their reach beyond the website by publishing an impressive sixteen books since then, with more titles on the horizon. The Patreon budget serves two main purposes: compensating writers for their contributions and funding book production. The meticulous process of expanding, revising, and updating content for print necessitates significant time investments. Additionally, hiring cover artists and other professionals further enhances the quality of these niche products. Although book sales are respectable, they do not generate enough profit to justify full-time production. This is where the Patreon support becomes essential, enabling Hardcore Gaming 101 to work on books full time and maintain a quicker publication schedule. Looking ahead, Hardcore Gaming 101 has an exciting lineup of book projects in progress. Among them are volumes focusing on Sega's home consoles, including beloved franchises like Phantasy Star, Shining Force, and Sonic the Hedgehog. They also plan to explore other Konami series, such as Silent Hill and Metal Gear, as well as shine a spotlight on cool and lesser-known 16-bit and arcade games. Additionally, they aim to create smaller digests featuring a wide variety of content, with upcoming volumes dedicated to Nintendo games, horror games, and Taito classics. In addition to these book projects, Hardcore Gaming 101 continues their mission of reviewing arcade, PC, and console titles across all genres ranging from RPGs to shooters to platformers and adventure games. With full-time dedication, their goal is to publish four books annually, potentially even more in the smaller digest format. The financial support provided by Patreon allows them to diversify their offerings and commission a wider array of gaming-related products. Thank you for taking the time to learn about Hardcore Gaming 101. By supporting this remarkable creator on Patreon, you are not only helping preserve the rich history of retro video gaming but also enabling them to deliver valuable content and expand their impressive lineup of books for enthusiasts worldwide.

Recalbox

@recalbox

Recalbox is a creator on Patreon who is in the process of creating a Retrogaming Platform. Their vision from the start has been to make retrogaming accessible for everyone, and they have certainly achieved that goal. From a project that was initially developed during the 2014 Christmas vacations, Recalbox now enables nearly half a million users worldwide to easily relive the video games of their childhood. What started as a solution supporting only 10 systems has now evolved into a platform that preserves and brings back to life more than 100 consoles and computers from your childhood, with each new version becoming even easier to use. However, Recalbox is now at a crucial point in its journey. With over 500,000 downloads per year and seven years of dedication from its team, it has become challenging for them to devote more time voluntarily. To overcome this obstacle and accelerate the project's development, Recalbox is offering a participative support campaign on Patreon, giving you the opportunity to become their bosses. By becoming a Recalbox "Boss," you not only support and contribute to the project's growth but also get to take part in key decisions and determine the next exciting features of future versions. Joining this vibrant and caring community also grants you exclusive benefits and early access to avant-garde features. Rest assured that all the features chosen by Patrons will eventually be accessible to all Recalbox users in subsequent versions. This is truly a project driven BY its community, FOR its community, resulting in a win-win situation for everyone involved!
