Does anyone know why L&P doesn't seek external help? If it's because of privacy concerns, he can definitely get an NDA signed. There are much bigger and more confidential projects going on in which external help is sought. So, what really is the problem here?
I don't think money is a problem as you can find freelancers for really cheap nowadays. And since external help will speed up the development, which will lead to more releases and more patreons, it seems like a logical investment.
So I'm not really able to figure out why he doesn't take external help.
