The Cheekynauts have landed!
Well, crash-landed that is. Something went wrong in the acorn ship, and now these two cheeky space travelers are stranded at the Cabana Club until they can get it working again.
The owner of the club is quite eager to get the ship off his property, so he is partnering with the Cheekynauts to reward those who support them in launching their games into the universe! These rewards will be explained in this post, but first...
Introductions!
Bun: Hi friends! My name is Sam, and I love to draw and do pixel art for games. My main project is called Moonshell Island, which I think will take a lot of inspiration from this place! I also help my partner here with character portraits for his game, but I'll let him tell you about it.
Squirrel: Hallo! My name is Schotti, and I enjoy to bring charming games to life with code and pixel art. My main project is called SANTRIA! but I also do the coding for Sam's game. I am looking forward to sharing some behind-the-scenes data with you all!
If you're new here or if you're an existing Cabana Club member, I'm sure you'd like to know what the rewards for your generous support are going to be now. Things have changed, some tier levels have been removed, perks have been added, and some features have been phased out. There is something new for everyone, so check it out!

Of course, all physical rewards are optional. We will only send these items to those who provide their shipping details. For those that do want to opt-in, you can do so two different ways:
Enter your shipping address in your profile settings on Patreon
Send us a private message with your shipping address
Rest assured, we will not be sharing your information or using it for anything but to send your rewards; however, we totally understand if you have privacy concerns and do not wish to participate in this feature.
Discord just got a bit cheekier!
Our Discord Channel has also been upgraded to include more features as well, such as sections for SANTRIA! and Moonshell Island! You can read more about it in this post.
Podcast Questions!
And finally, the Cheekynauts will be attempting the first Pinch & Tail Podcast soon, which all patrons will have early access to. We would love to include a section where we answer your questions, so please comment on this post with yours!
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day to read about these changes and for all the generous support and friendship you've given. Because of you, we have a wholesome community to call home that motivates us to do our best in achieving our dreams! We are so excited to share the journey with you.
Your friends,
Sam & Schotti

This is amazing! There's so much to take in here, but I'm pretty sure I love all of it! I don't think I have a question yet, but I continue to hope for all the success for you guys! And I'm looking forward to the quarterly postcards and all the merch I can qualify for!
So much exciting stuff! Congrats on making huge progress! My question for the podcast is, what are both of your day to day routines, and how does your gamedev/pixeling fit into that? Also if I may ask a second question, since you two are from different time zones, how has that affected communication or progress made on projects together? Do you guys have any sort of system in place or tools for communicating about projects together?
