Extra arsenal to squeeze out the wasteland
“The citizen has become a consumer; and when the consumer is no longer profitable, he is cast away and left out of society”
Consumidores y excluidos, Ignacio Lewkowicz, 2004
We have been on Patreon for more than two years now, incredible as it may seem. We are a small company (we are only two people since very recently) fighting against real giants, and unfortunately it is not only that our investment capacity is very small, but also that the income from all the work that is done often only covers the expenses.
Therefore the Patreon has been a huge endorsement from the Punka community during this time.

This Patreon has allowed us to overcome the uncertainty that the fixed costs (freelancers, rent of the Punkacueva, etc…) will not be covered in the bad months, and has ensured the survival of the project. During this time it has allowed us to continue bringing out new products, maintaining the Puentechatarra Gazette and our Podcast Radio Puentechatarra.
Thanks to your support we have also been able to improve the things we offer on Patreon. Now we can give you an STL file every month with miniatures or scenery from Punkapoclayptic, which in most cases is exclusive.
Algunos puede que no sepáis que es Patreon. Es una plataforma donde los seguidores de un proyecto (a partir de ahora patrones) pueden aportar dinero de manera mensual, ya sea simplemente para apoyar el proyecto y que pueda salir adelante, o también a cambio de ciertas ventajas. Además, al alcanzar ciertas cifras mensuales el creador del proyecto se compromete a cumplir ciertos objetivos, como puede ser sacar un episodio de un podcast mensual o mejorar el equipo con el que graba.
En el Patreon podéis ver que tenéis ciertas opciones de aportación, que al final es el dinero que dais al mes. Cada una ofrece ciertas cosas. Algunas no necesitan mucha explicación, como los descuentos, posibilidad de comprar minis exclusivas o los regalos. Pero vamos a explicarlas todas para aclarar cualquier duda.
Some of you may not know what Patreon is. It is a platform where the followers of a project (from now on patrons) can contribute money on a monthly basis, either simply to support the project so that it can go ahead, or also in exchange for certain advantages. In addition, when certain monthly amounts are reached, the creator of the project commits to meeting certain objectives, such as producing a monthly podcast episode or improving the equipment with which it records.
On Patreon you can see that you have certain contribution options, which in the end is the money you give per month. Each one offers certain things. Some of them don’t need much explanation, such as discounts, the possibility to buy exclusive minis or gifts. But we are going to explain them all to clear up any doubts.
