You can set a monthly maximum on the pledge. We set it as that originally because it let people decide how much they wanted to incentivize more work, because people were calling monthly Patreon campaigns "a scam" because patrons would get charged regardless of how much work was put out, if any, and particularly for games, creators would get accused of "milking it". This is before we were working on ToA when our Patreon was just for art and stories. We wanted to make sure we were only charging patrons when we actually put out work, and we structured the weekly updates so that we had to show proof of work on a consistent basis, and now because of that decision, we get called scam artists.I enjoy the game quite a bit and I would've supported it on Patreon if not for their "per creation" pricing - that's basically like giving someone an authorization to charge my credit card whenever they want which is not something I am particularly comfortable with. Also, I would prefer the devs to focus a bit more on adding art to already existing sex scenes since many of them are just text rn.
Patreon now lets a creator pause their campaign so as to not charge patrons during the pause, so we'll eventually be switching over to a monthly campaign just to never have to explain this again.
