We're not exactly selling the game.. It's in development and our way with Patreon is to give our fans the opportunity to support the development, prioritize upcomming features(if you want smth faster) + some in game bonuses, like festive clothes, wider customisation, beta- and EA releases etc. Depends on tier, ofc... Anyway, the indie art project you see exists and progress only because of ppl supporting it. That is how it works for us.
But I must ask what exactly 'good things' are you expecting?
