To read the post, it even seems that the animations made by L&P himself does not justify the very little content of the update.The most obvious conclusion and answer for that Patron post is LP himself made the animations, not an animator. Which had a ripple effect on the other parts of the update, as noted in the post.
Obviously LP himself will never admit this, as it would completely expose him. LP could prove this wrong if he'd name the animator and give them credit. But he can't do that...because they don't exist.
Quite the situation LP found himself in. Maybe he should go to Don Morello for help.
I think he took 2 months off before starting to work on the update including the animations. Because if he really had 0.155 ready in January as he claimed, he would have launched it without the animations and that would have had no influence on the story and he would have avoided this big fiasco by the way.
But I think that in January he had not yet touched the update.
