But I trust L&P and perceive AWAM as his property, as a product of his personal creativity.
Personally, it never occurs to me to tell him how and what he should do! Because in the opposite situation, I would send everyone to hell! I do not allow anyone to influence my decisions.
And thank god L&P doesn't have your personality.
This is terrible advice for anyone developing anything.
No one is forcing L&P to do anything, people are suggesting stuff to solve glaring issues (which in some cases even he has found to be true) and he actually has accepted some sugestions in the past as he will accept in the future.
Just from the top of my head, he has changed update frequency, render resolution, Sophia's textures when we complained she looked boney, Dylan's/Aiden's story when people complained about the plot twist, some posing issues with Liam in the casino so yeah, he takes suggestions.
Taking suggestions to your work as a personal attack is only revealing of lack of self esteem and confidence in your own work. I'm yet to see someone completely bashing him (except those trolls from time to time).
Most people here recognize and praise the very good things the VN has but they suggest stuff because it's clear as day that in the current way this is getting developed, it will not be finished if he intends to take the plot until the end, unless you think that he'll get this to 2030+.
In the last post the guy clearly said he doesn't have personal time and you think that he'll take this game development for another decade living like that?
He will need help, its obvious to anyone, even to him, it's a matter of finding or training the right person.
