+Today we are here to share with you some very exciting news for our biggest supporters! + + +## Foreword + +As a start, let's talk about how emulator development works from a bird's-eye view. +We all know that developing emulators requires significant reverse-engineering and programming knowledge, as well as lots of coding, testing, and bug fixing. +That's the **technical** stuff. +But before we can even get there, we need people who have the required skills and are willing to invest their time and effort into the project. +These people, our Developers, work tirelessly to keep Switch emulation progressing. +They work mostly in their free time and are very passionate about the project. + +{{< imgs + "./smo-2.png|Super Mario Odyssey" +>}} + +`Wait a second, you guys probably already know all this stuff.` +What you might not know is that, most of the time these developers work for free. +They don't get paid for their efforts nor do they ask to be paid. +In addition to our development costs (Switch consoles and games, web services, etc.), some of our developers are in situations that would really benefit from even a small amount of income from this project. + +As you probably know, we created a [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam) to address this need. +We have asked the community to help us by subscribing and they heard. +We now have over 200 patrons who collectively contribute to our project! +We would like to sincerely thank them for their love, support, and contributions! + +When we decided to create a Patreon, we promised our patrons that they would get access to exclusive content as a thank you. +Until now, we have only partially fulfilled our promise - by means of exclusive Discord support. +It's about time we fulfilled on our promise. + +## Big News + +**As a token of our thanks, we are announcing today that we will be releasing a special Preview of yuzu to our patrons!** + +We've made lots of incredible progress that we'd like to share first with the folks who have been our biggest supporters and fans. + +> Starting today, patrons with donations of 5$/month and above (Patreon Roles: Supporter, Member, VIP) will get early access to new features via a **yuzu Patreon Preview**, before this content becomes available in our Nightly and Canary releases. + +Features found in this preview are not exclusive and will definitely be available for regular users within a few days. +In accordance with our [open source license](https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/blob/master/license.txt), the source code for these previews will be made available to our patrons. + +This is just a preview release and is not similar to our Nightly or Canary builds - which get updated daily. +We may do similar releases like this in the future as we have more exciting new features to share, but not with any set regularity. +Support for this preview version will be given exclusively via the Patreon channels on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/u77vRWY). + +{{< single-title-imgs + "The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild" + "./botw.png" + "./botw-1.png" +>}} + +{{< single-title-imgs + "Super Mario Odyssey" + "./smo.png" + "./smo-1.png" +>}} + +**If you'd like to try out this preview release, please head on over to our [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/yuzuteam) to get access!
