Yeah I do check from time to time, it's helpful to see if anyone encountered bugs but there isn't much activity unless it's after a recent update. Given the amount of time it takes me to update I don't think a monthly thing is a good idea (I haven't really been paying attention to any recent changes in this area, all I remember is the negativity surrounding it). I would consider a support per update released kind of thing as it would be a way to gauge interest in a project, but itch does not support that since it's more of a storefront.
I'll just continue with the way things are for now, maybe in the future I can be a faster dev. And thanks for the continued support.
