Don't worry, I'm already convinced! I just heard that from another friend who switched her donations to Patreon. :)
I guess you could also set it up as a pre-order so people could buy the game early and give you the money you need for development. After your last game, I feel like you have a lot of good will built up!
Really, either way, I know you'll be successful - I just don't know how I'm going to be able to handle waiting until it's out. ^_^
