It's rather peculiar to see the tiny change of your perception towards him. AWAM is his dream project, as I see it. The latest images from 0.130 previews proves, that he improved further the image quality.
Impatience, urge and thirst for getting an update asap may obscure the vision. It would be ideal gaining new versions every month or fortnight, with the exact outcome I can wish on a star. Can he create sketches, like a script for a big budget movies, for the entire game and only after that start working on his renders? Probably, which will result in delaying upcoming updates, as he's gonna spend time on that. But it may speed up the process in the long-term, as the framework of the VN will be completed.
I was mentioning a couple of months ago, that the only problem I have with the product is fundamentally random release dates. Working alone is a blessing and a nightmare. He's a big boy, he'll figure out what to do on his own.
I see how the things are at the moment and due to L&P's personal troublesome development issues they not gonna get better anytime soon. Who's he expected to hire and what chunk of the income he'll lose? These are not some trivial questions. How many artists are even capable to render on his level and how many corrections he's gonna do, if he sees, that the scene should've been done otherwise, not as he had imagined it in his head?
I perfectly understand what creative process is, but in different and more complex sphere. The original plan may significantly differ from the final result. That's life, you may want always to perfect something, tweak here and there. You can't make happy everyone and that's not the goal. Self-improvement is fine and if you can earn some cash while doing that, why the heck not?
