There are no faster updates for members, they can play the beta, as tester, nothing else.
I'm working on two games, the other game got updated last, after BM.
There are news posts on patreon and steam, where I'm talking about being outside the country for a few weeks where I can't work on the update (which is right now btw).
That aside, if big gaming studios can't keep their release dates, what do you expect from a single developer with a real life? I simply don't have as much time and I don't give any eta until I'm a 100% sure I can make it.
Also to give a conclusion to wink's post: patreon, discord and other links are here on my developer page, and even in the game itself (about). Wink found them even before I could answer.
