ya know, L&P gets a lot of heat in this thread and I've even been adding to it more than defending him.
However, I have to give L&P credit for this reply, I think it's the most honest I have ever seen L&P be. He is not wrong that it would cost a small fortune to hire people to help with AWAM.
Also, it is good to see him acknowledge that he has to think about how to speed things up.
He is rather committed to everything he has added, and with the benefit of hindsight now, he probably wouldn't have started events that have no influence, until after the main story finished.
This is probably why L&P didn't do the coaching side story with Sophia, it makes sense and as a developer, it's a damn good lesson for me to benefit from.
The animations could have been added in after the main story finished but whether he does it now or in future, he still has to pay for them at some point. It's not like the animations are bad, they're mostly really great so far.
I have my own issues with AWAM but credit when credit is deserved, this was a pretty good reply by L&P.
I still want to know, if his animator is 3k/animation, how much would someone like HydraFXX charge per animation? 50k? 100k?
