i love this game and think the dev is talented, but he is bad at communication and it is going to hurt his subscription numbers.
the dev should pick a day of the week and make a weekly update post every week on that day, i.e. a weekly saturday post, or a weekly monday post, etc. this post should be public or at the very least available for all patreon tiers. in addition to that post, there should be a platinum-only benefit, like previews of upcoming art, or more details about what he's considering for new chapters, etc.
right now the dev is providing platinum updates on discord, but this isn't a good strategy - only a small % of users will bother going to discord, and its NOT a replacement for patreon. patreon is what makes the money, it should be the primary method of communication. plus, discord communities take on a life of their own that the dev can't control (as evidenced by this game's discord, where there's a dude spamming fake stories about his fake life nonstop and clogging up the general chat)
many perverts find their games through f95, which is why so many developers make accounts here and use it to market their game. but patreon communication is the most important communication, because it is where people go to actually give you money. for those people to feel like they've made a worthy investment, they want to see frequent updates.
