Not sure why patreon is being used tho, and IF they use it; why developers are letting potential supporters know more often (including updates in general of developments).
This thread is quite active, but take Reshoot developer Richard. Hes also using patreon, but he only got 8 supporters (Im one of them).
Ofcourse, when I poked him about it, he didnt feel like reminding people until he had something worthwhile to present gamewise/far enough into development for him to justify asking for support.

I can understand that point of view, but hence I think developers using patreon is falling between two chairs. Ontop of that; people probably feel more comfortable with a 1 sum donation, like buying the game in advance, instead of the very open ended "x dollars every month" kinda deal.
