Introducing the Noble of Valmora Tier - Support the Demo
Hey everyone!
We've just released Pre-Alpha 2, and we're entering the most critical phase of Valmora's development: the final sprint toward our first public demo.
This is where we transform "promising alpha" into "polished demo that shows what Valmora can truly become."
To accelerate this part, we're opening a limited Patron tier.
What is the Noble of Valmora tier?
This tier will last until demo launch (planned: late December 2025 / early January 2026)
It is limited to 12 supporters total
When it closes: when demo launches OR all 12 slots fill (whichever comes first)
This tier is designed for those who want to make a bigger impact during this critical development phase and receive exclusive rewards for their support.
What you get
IMMEDIATE BENEFITS:
- All Founder tier benefits

IN-GAME REWARDS (delivered at demo launch):
Exclusive cosmetic items that are yours forever in the final game.
What you receive depends on how many months you support:
🏆 3 months support (join in October):
- Exclusive cosmetic mount

- Exclusive female NPC
🥈 2 months support (join in November):
- Exclusive cosmetic mount

🥉 1 month support (join in December):

💭 Why this tier exists
We've already invested our own money into Valmora - software licenses, premium assets, development hardware, and animation tools. We're committed to this project, and Pre-Alpha 2 shows that commitment.
But to accelerate toward the demo we envision, we need additional resources. This tier helps us cover costs like contract animators for complex scenes, additional environment assets, and more focused development time.
It's not required - your $9 Founder support is already incredible. But for those who can, this optional boost helps us move faster while maintaining the quality Valmora deserves.
❓ FAQ
Q: Can I do just 1-2 months instead of all 3?
A: Absolutely! You can join whenever and cancel whenever. You keep the rewards you've earned during your active months.
Q: What if I need to cancel early?
A: Life happens, no problem. You'll receive the in-game rewards you've earned at demo launch based on how many months you supported.
Q: What if demo slips past January?
A: You continue until demo drops (or you can cancel anytime). We won't leave you hanging mid-development.
Q: I'm already a Founder - how do I upgrade?
A: Go to "Edit membership" on Patreon and switch to the Patron tier. Your billing adjusts automatically.
Q: What if the demo gets delayed significantly?
A: If we need substantially more time, we'll give everyone the option to either continue or drop back to Founder while keeping all earned rewards. Your choice.
