I saw a thread in another forum about how much are people ready to pay for supporting the games they enjoy but I want to stress that becoming a patron is not the only way you can support your favorite developers.
Basically writing a porn game is an extremely lonely task. Most of us can't tell friends and families what we're investing our time, energy and money into hence the experience is very lonely. You can't easily ask your pals if you're in the right direction because most of them don't know about the pervy direction you took. We are not all knowing. We are not sure we took the right direction. We must make dozens of decisions without being able to consult with anyone. This situation is dramatically different than the one of vanilla creators who can easily share their concerns and doubts with people they know and trust.
If you want to support the developers whose work you enjoy but don't wish to back them financially, here are some ways to do so.
1. If they have Discord, visit it frequently. Talk with the developer (and others) and express what you like about the game.
2. Recommend the game to others in F95. There are forums here where people ask for recommendations on new games, recommend the games you enjoy. For a developer to see others recommend his game is incredibly encouraging.
3. Give a positive review. Spend 10-15 and write a nice review with what you liked about the game. Again, it's incredibly encouraging for a developer and can indirectly help promote the game.
4. Visit the game's thread in f95 and help others who have questions, show the developer he is not the only one caring about the game.
5. Are you good with graphics software? Many developers (this one included...) aren't. Your favorite developers would be thrilled to receive some cool signature files to share with fans.

There are many others ways to help promote a game you enjoy without opening your wallet. What you need to remember is that showing continuous support in a project does wonders to ensure its developer's determination to continue developing it.Another good way to help support devs without paying for it would be to give any gamesYou must be registered to see the links. The act of wishlisting them push them up Steam's algorithm, makes it show in the "Coming Soon" section on the main page, makes it more likely that it'll get recommended in "more games like this" and "what to play next", and in general provides a huge boost for the game at launch.
