She will be a bit more involved, the turret placement is supposed to be her placing the turrets, the art assets for it finished, I just did not finish implementing it in time. Overall, the resonance mechanic is the big gameplay reason as to why we don't have the GTS just rampage through the map, as she's there to make herself bigger. We also had messed around with the idea of having her grab enemies directly instead of relying on UFOs, I may experiment with that too.
As for a Patreon, I have one here: https://www.patreon.com/c/CrypticExpansion
There is not much there at the moment, but I would like to do NSFW gamedev full time if funding permits! :)
