This is a solo project and also his first try at developing his own ambitious, realistic, detail-oriented, quality-focused adult game.Maybe he set himself a target too high for a solo project and the steep learning curve he is now on.
He is trying to give people a very good slow burning game and the majority of his patrons seem ok with the full/halve update dilemma.
He is trying people between his work,family and personal stuff and this game he has a lot going on.
In the end it will be his patrons who will decide when/if they show their displeasure in slow updates
