Now the problem with that is that i'm pretty sure L&P is making huge efforts to get this game going. Right now, we are at approximately 4.5 renders per day. And don't forget about the rest, like the story, the renpy, the animations and so on.
The development of this game is getting slower with each passing year. Be it render per day count or story progression. This project started with entire PD updates and went down to half a PD, then 1/3rd of a PD, and now single events. Yes, his renders got a massive facelift years ago and the amount of renders per event have increased drastically, but he's still constantly getting slower which causes less story progression overall and roughly 2 years for a single PD at this pace.
Some would say animations are the reason for it this year, which I'd totally agree with, problem is that L&P himself said they wouldn't cause any delays. Also, not only are animations causing a delay, but his render per day count went down aswell compared to last year. Which, by the way, is one of the bigger reasons (among others) for many people to believe that there is no animator other than L&P himself. Even the updates without animation have been much slower in terms of render per day count. Even slower than the current one for the most part. Following your logic, this would mean he's putting less effort into it year by year, yes?
The guy is not a milker. He is a bad business owner. He is trying to do it all by himself. So you can dissociate constructive from criticisim with a guy like that. You are only criticizing. And its not helping by any means because he is not listening.
Not quite. He's got a proofreader/translator, a guy for coding and his..."animator". With the rest I'd mostly agree. He's not willing to change a thing.
