I think what could help is if posted more about the progress of the builds, like from simply posting the new post on patreon i saw like a 15% growth in not even 2 days! Now i don't say to post news everyday but a sneaky peak or news about the progress every 1-2 weeks would help the community to hype it up and make it also grow naturally (more updates makes the page of the game go higher on the main page of itch.io making it easier for others to see it)
