That's a good question, i don't think it will, AWAM is a niche, not really a game designed to be very popular.Will accelerating production speed increase paid users for authors?
Thy Excellency's annointed words are infallible... Praise the Lord, thee, o'little faith - the Sacred Order of Fallen Sophia.. Ashes to ashes...After reading some comments here and using my knowledge on L&P I think I've come on to something.
I'll condense it to a spoiler.

In life we should never accept extortionate dilemmas.
This game has been around since 2017 and from what i'v seen, supporters number is stalling. If his numbers drop, he would have two choices :
1) Make updates faster with less money. Which a lot of "very smart and enlightened karens" in here are claming. ohh if we drop support, he is gonna be faster
this dev didn't hire a team with the money he is making right now but he is gonna do it once his income drops drastically ? Suuure why not, pinguins can spit fire too you know
2) He will start looking for another source of income (if it is not the case already) , and the delay between updates will get bigger and bigger ( a familiar situation ) , until he drops the project.
Which one do you think it is the most plausible ??
As for the solution don't ask me for one i don't have it, i am not that "enlightened". And i don't care that much to think about it, i just enjoy awam whenever i can and trolling "smart people"
The thing is that its like a frog in a pot of boiling water, LP has been slowing the development of the game gradually so we become used to it, so we say its normal, thats LP, so even when the development speed reaches an update every 4 or 6 months the patrons will accepted it and say normal and remain in the boiling waterI think you're missing the bigger picture here. L&P doesn't need a team to work faster. The development of AWAM is getting slower EVERY single year, that is a fact. And so the point some people are making is that if L&P's support drops, he might start working more again to gain the lost and/or new subscribers back.
But as you said, the numbers are stalling, meaning neither do they increase or decrease really, and so he can comfortably release a single PD every 2 years while working less and eventually become a millionaire with minimal effort. If you don't believe it, check the several readily available statistics for the amount of content released on a yearly basis, render/day counts and so on.
That being said, L&P's support dropping wouldn't guarantee anything. He could abandon it or work faster. He could drop the game and start something entirely new, who knows. But as I said, the most comfortable way for him right now is to put in the absolute minimum effort possible without losing or gaining support as he makes quite a bit of money the way it is now. Question is how much slower he can get before people actually start dropping like flies. He's pushing that limit every single year again and again by getting slower. This year so far is an absolute joke in terms of released content.
When people buy lottery tickets, everyone wins, when people own their own business, everyone succeeds, when people become office workers, everyone becomes a CEO?Will accelerating production speed increase paid users for authors?

Many customers not only refuse to consume, but also demand that the boss increase investmentWhen people buy lottery tickets, everyone wins, when people own their own business, everyone succeeds, when people become office workers, everyone becomes a CEO?
If he speeds up his work, at least one of the reasons he's being criticized will be gone.
Sadly, not everyone succeeds just because everyone works hard.
However, if the restaurant is kept clean, customers will like it, if the food tastes good, customers will like it, if the owner of the restaurant is kind, customers will like it, and if the interior is good, customers will like it.
And if he does this, the restaurant will be more likely to have more customers.
So, if the author invests in creating a team to accelerate progress and the revenue is no different from before, why would the author do soThat's a good question, i don't think it will, AWAM is a niche, not really a game designed to be very popular.
Because the boss is running the restaurant wrong.Many customers not only refuse to consume, but also demand that the boss increase investment
The point is, he didn't.So, if the author invests in creating a team to accelerate progress and the revenue is no different from before, why would the author do so
Although LP is not a slave, how come LP is not allowed to say anything wrong?Everyone calm down, having a dig at the game is one thing but this is getting way to personal the developer of L&P is not your slave, if people are patreons and are not happy unsubscribe and leave a comment on the way out.
Whenever I see people who talk like this, I wonder if they have any work experience or have ever paid for a product.Everyone calm down, having a dig at the game is one thing but this is getting way to personal the developer of L&P is not your slave, if people are patreons and are not happy unsubscribe and leave a comment on the way out.
I understand there are extremes in the opinions expressed here... Maybe you have never seen a customer service portal... The problem with L&P (team / person) is the lack of transparency. You start your production with 1/2 of a playable day in 3 months and end up with 1/10 of the day in MORE than 3 months after 7 years... The years of experience are supposed to increase your productivity not decrease it! For all products out there customers have the right to protest when they are not satisfied... Why not for AWAM?Everyone calm down, having a dig at the game is one thing but this is getting way to personal the developer of L&P is not your slave, if people are patreons and are not happy unsubscribe and leave a comment on the way out.
Yeah, that's old news everyone knows what they are getting with L&P, to many developers have suffered burnout, so it's not helpful when evryone piles on the abuse it's the difference between a game and no game at all. I used to be a L&P patreon but now I am not, it's just how he rolls. I would reconsider if he redid the bathroom scene after the cheerleading and if she had an affair with both neighbours at the same time. father and son and one day they have a video night and Sophia is over and has to choose who to favor and they compete on who is the alpha while not realizing Sophia is getting on with both of them.I understand there are extremes in the opinions expressed here...
