Hello, if you decide to pay for early access to one of the updates, you get access to only that update, like you would on the Patreon page. For example, if you subscribed to Patreon in August, you only get early access to the update in August. I've made the possibility to get updates here for early access too, so that people who don't have Patreon can get the update earlier too.
But I'll probably stop posting updates for early access here, as it sometimes causes confusion. So I'll most likely post them here for free after they become public (two weeks after early access).
