I don't think that just having patreon or kickstarter will speed things up. In the end, it's the dev's choice if they want to receive help. I've seen this game evolve from a simple three character story to what it is now and they've done a great job just by themselves. With the number of words, it's safe to assume that the devs have a groove going for them and having so many people, who give them money, input things may just result to unnecessary pressure for them. Not saying that's what will happen, but it is a possibility. Personally, I prefer to wait rather than rush them by pushing patreon or kickstarter.
