Never leave the content choices up to the supporters. The dev should have a clear idea of what he wants to add. Otherwise you are going to have whomever has the most money asking for crap stuff. The only choices that the subs should be making is on polls for outfits, monthly renders, etc. Not fetish's
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. Just to clarify, the storyline and characters won't be influenced by money .Only Tier 3 supporters will be able to suggest ideas about scenes they would like to see and I will only chose the ones I like and implement them. This is mentioned on my Patreon.
well I'm a bit late, but others clarified on my behalf, as it seems.
But your model doesn't reward smaller supporters. Sooner or later, the game will get scenes that somebody paid you to do, that the smaller donors don't want to support. And it's a sad fact that the people searching for niche fetish stuff often have the deepest pockets. They need to otherwise, nobody would cater to their depravity.
NTR guys, for example, they get a kick out of it to drop 1000$ on a game, so the dev adds a scene with, for example, the mother character. Dev gets the money and implements the scene as an alternative path, the Harem crowd drops the game like it's made of glowing hot iron, and the NTR dude won't keep supporting. He got the scene he wanted.
But people who supported you for a long time with smaller amounts will feel betrayed. Granted, I don't now the patreon rewards of every game, but I have never seen a game that left fetishes up for the highest bidder to do well or even get finished.
Thanks for your feedback. Yes there are people who support with smaller amounts, but everybody who helps is appreciated greatly. All tiers of my supporters have voting power on polls by the way so everybody can vote on any future polls. In fact "small" supporters are the most excited and interested in the game and they communicate with me the most. I seriously doubt anybody will drop $1000 just to try and ruin a game but then again I am a new developer and new to most of this. Also I have mentioned that I will only consider ideas that I like and that fit the story and themes of the game. Supporters of mine will not be betrayed as you mentioned, that much I can promise.
Oof, never a good idea to leave story and fetish content up to anyone else. You should know the audience you want to court and then make the game that suits that group and still upholds your vision. Games and other stories made by committee almost never end up well. I have no doubt there are a bunch of thing you have ruled out 100%, like will you leave the inclusion of necrophilia up to supporters? NTR ought to be treated the same. Unless it is what you want, in which case please just say so now.
Harem and NTR don't mix, you say you want a harem story. So, I'd recommend you make that game since you have clearly said it will be in the game. No need to mix two fetishes that are polar opposite and drive away the players that want the genre you have already planned to include.
Just a bit of food for thought: While NTR is often considered by westerns to only be a current love interest cheating on the Mc it should be noted that in Japan and for most people who dislike it, NTR includes NTR adjacent content as well as all the "Not technically NTR," content that some try to slip in such as flashback or "Not love interests yet," where girls bang other guys. None of that type of stuff adds to a game that isn't an NTR focused game. Some even consider lesbian stuff if the player (not just the Mc but the player as well) gives full consent.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. Please see my reply above to Vortex. As for "Necrophilia", I had to google that to see what it is, never seen it before and never want to see it. I agree Harem and NTR don't work together.
Thank you for the reply, it is always nice when developers are willing to engage. Also, sorry for exposing you to that, just assumed most people involved in make an AVN would know what it was. My bad.
I read what you replied to Vortex, and I take it to mean there is nothing to worry about. Since you will only choose to implement suggestion you like and you've ruled out NTR already that it won't be showing up even if people ask for it.

What future tags are you planning for dev? Harem? ntr/sharing? pregnancy? futa/trans? femdom?
Harem and Pregnancy for sure.
Good good
What are the future tags? I hope that you won't add NTR or lesbian crap to the game.....
NTR is not planned. Will depend on supporters of the game, tags will be updated as game develops.

you pretty much just told people to dont bother supporting you with small amounts because they get fucked over once a whale drops some cash on you
Thank you for your comment, what do you mean by "fucked over", could you please clarify ?
