Indie game site Itch.io rolls out Patreon integration

The indie game storefront Itch.io announced today a new integration with Patreon, a platform that enables people to become “patrons” of content creators and subscribe to them with monthly payments. This enables indie devs to create pages for projects meant specifically for their patrons.

Itch.io’s founder Leaf Corcoran says that he’s wanted to implement an integration for a while, but until recently, Patreon didn’t have API support for it. Itch.io is the first indie store to feature this kind of integration, though Patreon has created a custom integration in the past with Discord, a popular voice and text chat service.
