You can now support and accelerate the development of cyubeVR through Patreon!

Hey everyone!

You now have the option to support and accelerate development of the game through Patreon!

https://www.patreon.com/stonebrickstudios

I have been working full-time on this game for over 4.5 years now, and the game is available on Steam since the end of January 2018. I think everyone knows by now that cyubeVR is always in very active development. Patreon should be another step toward making the development of this game sustainable, meaning I can live from the money and continue working on this game until this is the most played VR game, and then even further. I'm not satisfied with anything less, and I am quite optimistic that cyubeVR can claim that spot when there's great survival and multiplayer with massive servers!

There is a great cyubeVR discord (open to everyone) with over 1100 members where you see me talking about all the things that I'm currently working on, planning to work on, helping others who have issues with the game, taking ideas and suggestions for new features, and other things. I'm really happy to have that great community!

The community is so great, that recently a few people told me they'd like to support me on Patreon, and I'm really happy to see that people are actively asking for being able to support me that way :) So as you see, now I've set up a Patreon! I don't have much experience with Patreon, so I'm not sure what to expect from this, but it certainly can't hurt. I have followed Patreon's recommendations for the available tiers of support as closely as possible. The rewards you can get are:
  • Being mentioned in the credits of the game
  • Getting a special colored name in the official cyubeVR Discord
  • Physical items like a sticker, mug, or t-shirt with cyubeVR designs


There are no in-game-rewards for supporting me through Patreon. Patreon should also not be seen as a merch shop - the physical merch is purely meant as a nice-to-have reward for the biggest Patreon supporters. No one should support me here just to get a cyubeVR mug or cyubeVR t-shirt.

Now, why should you want to support me? I have been working full-time on cyubeVR for a long time, and I want to be able to continue doing so for as long as possible. I am generally a very optimistic person, and I always like to think big, so, as mentioned above, my goal has always been to work on cyubeVR, and continue to improve it, until it is the most popular VR game. cyubeVR is not yet the most played VR game, so there is still some work to do! There is a big roadmap ahead, including all the survival and multiplayer aspects of the game. I still dream of the game making enough money at some point to allow a bigger team to work on it than just me, which would speed up development a lot, and maybe this Patreon page can help get there sooner! But for now, the first important goal is to make the development of cyubeVR sustainable enough that at least one person can make a living off it (me) so that I can keep working on it for a long time to come.

Making development of a VR game sustainable is hard - most VR game developers can not make a living off of their game, as the VR market is still quite small, especially the PC VR market. Many developers focus on platforms where it's easier to make money, like PSVR or Quest, but I always wanted to build a game that is not just fun, but also one of the best looking VR games, and generally impressive from a technical perspective.

So, if you want to help me with this, and you can afford it - maybe consider supporting me on Patreon, I would definitely appreciate it a lot :)
