So I’ll start off detailing with the current state:

• A user subscribes to this patreon
• They can access the post with the patron redeem link for itch
• No posts are restricted by join time or total time being a patron
• There is a single tier
• The game is an embedded web game on itch, with the page set to protected so only people who can own it can view the page (since you can’t hide embed for non owners as far as I know)

Here’s the ideal state:

• A new major update is released, a new patreon post is created with a NEW redeem url just for this update
• Only people who have redeemed that URL can access the part of the game that is part of the major update
• People without it still have access to whatever they redeemed previously, regardless of current patron status

I have found this support page detailing subproducts, but I don’t have anything related to subproducts or dlc on my dashboard? If I did, can you still have it be “patrons can redeem the subproduct/dlc with a link”? I’m guessing I’d have to like, make requests to my own web server to see if people own certain subproducts dlc too?

If anyone has any insight to this, let me know. As it stands, it seems if I can’t get something from the itch side, might have to write something that consumes patreon directly? Is there like, a simplier/more straight forward solution I’m just missing? Thanks!
