Patreons can get access to daily updates on the work that I do (and discuss it on a Patreon Chat with me);
Stuff will get done with priority;
This smells of dev bias. Something that we shouldn't want in this game. People who don't pay up will never get new stuff then since it is not priority.
This pretty much sums up my feelings about the patreon thing. We already have concepts like that with companies like Ubisoft or EA or almost any other big player in the Gaming industry. No one needs stuff like that. Especially not at a minor gaming communty which was always for free. Not to mention that you are not the only one who is investing a lot of free time into Discovery.
If we want to give it a harsh name i would call this one a scam.
