The first most basic "benefit" of becoming a patron is receiving patron-only communications from the developer. From now on, I will use Patreon to post the changes in each new update, to fulfill that benefit. It will also communicate to patrons that I am industriously working on the project.
I am not sure I like the idea about making update threads only visible to patrons. That would make it kinda weird and people that aren't patrons won't have any clue about what is happening.
Having open communication like there has always been here on the forum will allow future potential patrons to see that there are still updates happening.
Maybe it is a good idea to post updates both places, even if it is more management and kinda splits the discussion. Could just post it as as a link to the update thread here on the forum.
I would suggest updates to be public on Patreon too, so again future potential patrons can see what they are going to be supporting.
What you then would be posting for patrons-only I don't know.
Could maybe integrate the forum with Patreon, adding a little badge or something to people that are supporters.
We have been discussing if it is possible to do it on the Discord server too. But I don't know much about it yet. I am totally new to Patreon too.
