As someone answered before me, I want to release the game on Steam, and so a public release would be counter-productive to my goal. Not to mention that linking a free version of a porn game on Patreon is probably against their TOS, though I haven’t personally checked.
While the idea is not bad per se, I still don’t really see the connection between leaks and public releases. I’m pretty sure that, the moment a game reaches a certain level of popularity, it will leak early no matter what. There is, unfortunately, a lack of data when it comes to your claim. You could be right, of course, but at least, to me, it sounds more like hopeful thinking.
In any case, I still very much appreciate that you would try to think of a strategy for me. Obviously, there are multiple ways in which I can improve, be it in my stories or in the way I handle my business. It’s just a question of how to do so in a careful, well-thought-out fashion.
