So if we donate via patreon we get the full version, right? do you get access to the updated full versions when they are released? like if i donated would i get the 1.19 patreon version and thats it, or would i be able to upgrade to the next version when it releases?

We have a Dropbox that you gain access to while you're a patron - if you pledge at the monthly tier you 'll get 1.19, then 1.20 etc. each month, and if you pledge at the weekly then you'll get the weekly updates (which are versioned 1.19.1, 1.19.2, etc.) as they become available. We keep the monthlies separate so you can always pick which version to play, and the weeklies are just the most up to date version.
