If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “what do golf champions, camp counselors, and a Vegas vacation with some of adult entertainment’s most recognizable stars have in common” then you’ve evidently read our top-secret planning documents and know the answer anyway. For everyone else, these are just a few of the bodacious backer rewards Vanilla Gaming Company has in store for backers in its just-launched VanillaBeast: Ace In The Hole Kickstarter campaign – and it’s just the tip.

Inspired by the games that shaped your childhood – and the movies your parents never let you watch – VanillaBeast is a raucous retro adventure following stylish agent Vanilla as he foils a dastardly villain and rescues the town’s leading ladies. We know, we know: A spy operation - in this economy? Pulling this kind of operation off takes money, but Vanilla knows how to play nice and give his friends something in return.

At the $40 backer tier, you get the gift that keeps on giving. No, not a Jelly of the Month membership. It’s even better: Access to the VanillaBeast alpha and beta builds, a chance to play some of the game’s arcade-style levels once the campaign is funded and have your feedback help shape the game.

Other backer rewards include getting your name on a headstone in the open world and even helping create a boxer in your likeness to go mano-a-mano with Tike Myson in VanillaBeast’s Punch-Out! inspired boxing level (no special ear guard required!) Get literally drawn into the game with your own special achievement attached, take an NPC role that plays a key part in Vanilla’s adventure, and create your own surfing trick a la T & C Surf Design.

At higher tiers, there’s even a sexy classic arcade cabinet up for grabs and an all-expenses-paid visit to Las Vegas for dinner and chill time with the VanillaBeast devs and an all-star cast of adult film stars including Jewel De’Nyle, Kasey Storm, Eva Notty, Anna Claire Clouds, and Coralyn Jewel***.

VanillaBeast: Ace in the Hole is expected to launch for PC and consoles in Q4 2023.
