I think we should help him to see if he really can "walk the talk"
the guy already earn roughly $100,000 through he patreons subscriptions which are untaxed and without the patreons cut... but thats just an estimate considering we dont know how many 1$ subs and higher subs there are exactly.
Feels untrustworthy when he is collecting a one time donation goal for a long time hire.
Add to this that he claims it will be a larger project, meaning it will take longer anyway. It's not as if he would now release 0.500 next month if he hires this guy.
As a developer he needs to understand that this game is a business. He hasnt changed his output in years. While it's "part 2" he is only at 0.220 from presumably 1.0. Why would anyone support this when it takes him a decade to finish it? He needs to invest to attract. instead of releasing 0.005 per month, he should focus on 0.05 that it is worth while to return to this VN on a monthly basis.
Like no one gives a fuck about a 3 minute update with Dylan licking her nipple in the car. that's just a waste of everyones time and i can look up some porn and get the same result.
