First, thank you for the Patreon support! It really does mean the world to me.
The structure of the Patreon updates is pretty much the same as the public ones; Days are cut in two (it gives more testing time that way) and the second part of the Day comes out at the same time as the full previous Day on Itch. Exclusive short stories fill the gaps between actual updates to the VN. Because that means all of the characters get additions together, it's not something I could further portion down without upsetting a lot of people, and I really don't want to do that, heh.
Thank you kindly for the thoughts and the positive words! I'll see what all I can implement in that regards!
