It generally reaches here right after, and I mean right after, the people who pay $5 subscriptions (roughly the equivalent of treating the dev and only the dev, not any of his team to one single cup of coffee for all the hard work), and we'd honestly hate to see that end. Not because it is a disincentive to subscription (that's nonsense based on misunderstanding why people become patrons) but because early access is one of the few things that we on the team, and you fellow fans, can do to thank those who support the game the most and make it all possible.
You guys wait the exact same amount of time between updates as the top tier Patreons do. Not one moment more. It's simply that their cycle is a little ahead of yours. Just like People in Australia still have the same exact 24 hours in a day as people 11 hours behind them in terms of time zones.
If we had to find other ways to thank those top supporters who do the most to make buying all the assets and spending all the time possible, that would probably involve developing something for them, meaning taking time, and thus reducing the amount of time in a cycle we can spend on the game. None of us want that, so, a little patience and understanding is simply the best thing for all. Thanks for your understanding.
