Have you ever wished for an easy Patreon Integration for Unity 3D? – I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming release of my Unity 3D asset, ‘Authentication for Patreon’. This game-changing tool is the first plugin in the Unity Asset Store that seamlessly integrates the Patreon API V2 (via OAuth V2) into your Unity app or game. With Authentication for Patreon, you can easily create a paywall around your premium features, limit access to exclusive content, and build a stronger community around your project. It is designed to bring a perfect balance of user friendliness and security, making it the perfect choice for Patreon Integration in Unity.

One of the standout features of Authentication for Patreon is its unique interactive setup guide. Using the generator_script.html and custom_prompts.html, you can generate tailored prompts specific to your circumstances, username, IP address, and more. This allows you to create customized commands that are verified to work 100% via simple copy-pasting. This means that anyone with basic technical knowledge can integrate this workflow into their project in under an hour. No more tedious server setup or complicated coding required!

Authentication for Patreon fetches the MemberID and TierID of the user from the Patreon API, enabling you to restrict access to premium features and create a paywall around your app. The user starts the authentication process (via UI Button for example) and starts a local webserver on port 8080, that then fetches the Patreon API data. To minimize privacy policy complications, the Backend only passes on TierIDs corresponding to the creator’s UUID. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure and protected.

• Easy Integration: Embed Patreon authentication in Unity projects quickly with user-friendly scripts and clear documentation.
• Secure Authentication: Uses Patreon API V2’s OAuth 2.0 to securely handle user data and transactions.
• Tier-Based Access Control: Manage multiple Patreon tiers to control access to features and content based on supporter levels.
• Offline Authentication: Offers a fallback mechanism with encrypted timecodes for access without internet.
• Customizable Scripts & Events: Adapt the authentication process to your project’s needs using flexible scripts and Unity events.
• Comprehensive Logging: Centralized logging tracks and manages all events and errors meticulously.
• Rate Limiting: Implements request rate control to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage of the system.
• System Time Verification: Verifies system time against network time to maintain offline authentication integrity.
• Coroutine Management: A dedicated coroutine manager efficiently handles asynchronous operations across scenes.

Authentication for Patreon also comes with an array of security features, including:

• Flask Rate Limiter functionality to prevent abuse and DDOS attacks
• Client-side rate limiting (via Tokenbucket logic) for added protection
• HTTPS support for secure communication (with HTTP setup available for debugging purposes)
• Offline Authentication as Fallback – via secure AES Encryption of data
• Various Anti-Tampering Measures: NTP Server Time Validation etc.

The Backend-Server is designed to be cost-efficient, requiring only a DigitalOcean backend droplet (starting at $4/month) and a domain (which can be a non-SEO friendly, gibberish domain). This keeps monthly costs well below $10 and often even $5 in certain circumstances. Authentication for Patreon can also be used to restrict beta access to certain tiers or members, and even allows for offline authentication with a specified time limit. The new Guestlist feature is another useful tool, you can use to simulate paid Tiers in your scenarios.

With Authentication for Patreon, you can encrypt sensitive information like client IDs with just one click via AES256 in the Unity editor. Additionally, the optional offline authentication feature grants users access (after a successful online authentication), when they don’t have Wifi for a limited time as a fallback mechanism.

Authentication for Patreon has the potential to empower Patreon creators, game developers, and anyone looking to create awesome community projects. By providing a seamless and secure way to integrate Patreon benefits into your Unity projects, it can help you build stronger, more engaged communities while generating revenue and supporting your creative endeavors.

Stay tuned for the release of Authentication for Patreon and discover how this powerful tool can transform your community-building and monetization strategies.
