How to Support Mavica's Work Through maple.pet

Updated

You can support Mavica (the game musician and "tech sorceress" behind maple.pet) in two ways listed on the site: a one-time donation through Ko-fi, or recurring support through Patreon. Both links appear on the homepage under a "support me!" section. The site does not list specific amounts, tiers, or payment details, so you'll need to visit each platform to see current options.

The two support options

Option Type Where it's listed What it's for
Ko-fi One-time donation Homepage "support me!" section A single contribution
Patreon Recurring support Homepage "support me!" section Ongoing, subscription-style backing

According to the site, donations help Mavica "keep being able to continue working from home, as well as keeping my systems running." That's the stated purpose — there's no breakdown of how funds are allocated beyond this.

What the site does and doesn't tell you

The homepage presents the two links plainly, without pricing signals, tier descriptions, or payment platform specifics. That means:

  • No amounts are published on maple.pet itself. You'll find the actual figures on Ko-fi or Patreon once you follow the links.
  • No indication of what perks, if any, come with supporting. The site doesn't describe rewards or thank-you tiers.
  • No confirmation of which payment methods are accepted. That's handled entirely by the external platforms.

If you want to know exactly what you're paying for or how much, the homepage alone won't answer it — the linked platforms will.

Choosing between them

The distinction is straightforward:

  • Choose Ko-fi if you want to make a single contribution without an ongoing commitment.
  • Choose Patreon if you want to support Mavica's work on a recurring basis.

Neither is presented as "better" on the site; they simply serve different giving styles. If you're unsure, a one-time Ko-fi donation is the lower-commitment starting point, and you can move to Patreon later if you want to keep supporting regularly.

Other ways to engage (not financial)

Support isn't only monetary. The homepage also links to Mavica's content and contact channels, so following or sharing the work is another route:

  • Content: YouTube, Twitch, itch.io
  • Contact/social: Telegram, Discord (mavica#3896), IRC (#cfairies at irc.libera.chat), XMPP ([email protected]), email, Tumblr, Mastodon, plus SpaceHey, lesbiaboard, and Alterspring
  • Webrings: Suricrasia Online, FEMICOM, Sozai Collection

If your goal is simply to stay connected rather than donate, those links cover it. If your goal is financial support, Ko-fi and Patreon are the only two options the site names.
