This is offensive to each L&P patron. In a few days it's "we need a hero" or by your sublime message "we need a cow"? Each failure to deliver from L&P is an issue for him and his patrons, supporters to solve.
As a fan of the game I am grateful to L&P and to each and every supporter to this day. After all, the game is not abandoned, so many years, so many delays and so many
self entitled leeches

complaining, insulting... but thanks to the patience and support from his sponsors (HEROES), the game continues.
I'm one of those supporters and I'm not offended, so you actually don't speak for 'each L&P patron'.
Each person here has the right to respond to the extremely slow development of AWAM and some of us, supporters for years BTW, have offered a variety of ideas to help L&P increase production speed, and we've been ignored. Ultimately, it is His decision to proceed at this very slow development speed.
He's chosen Not to build a team.
He's chosen to continue to update DOL and post it on Patreon versus giving it to a trusted and trained creator who is happy to support L&P (Key words here - trusted and trained, which you can not get if you insist on being a solo creator - or almost solo creator since I discount the animator who apparently cannot manage his/her time well enough to create two animations in 3 months without further slowing down L&P).
He has already gone back and started to remaster part I (versus, again, using the remastering of part I as a great opportunity to train someone to help and then let them learn and prove themselves on the remaster - which has NO time constraint since the Vast majority of us who are already playing AWAM are waiting for PD 13 content, Not a remaster of Part I).
There is Major low-hanging fruit in terms of easy opportunities to teach and train others. This would allow them to join a team headed by L&P to help create AWAM and dramatically shorten the current development cycle, which multiple people here, using basic math skills, have projected to exceed 20 years.
The reality, AWAM is a good and interesting AVN. I doubt that > 1% of the other creations on F95 have this much discussion taking place while waiting for another of the now small updates to be released (page # 5460 at the time I'm writiing this response).
I've praised L&P for the quality of some of the individual updates but this uber slow development of individual scenes within one PD makes it very hard to remain a supporter.
It's shame that the odds are stacked against L&P being able to give AWAM the PD 30 endings it deserves (versus abandoning it at some point), given how much of it he will have to recreate multiple times to keep up with: render quality, software changes (like Renpy, for ex.), and hardware improvements that will open creativity doors that simply did not exist years ago when the best card you could get was a NVidia 2080 ti.
Are there leeches on F95 - Yes
Are there lemmings who support L&P - Yes
To both of those... So What!
We each get to make a choice, including L&P.
So far, I've seen nothing any supporter or non-supporter can do to change his development choices.
