That must have been before my time, I wasn't aware of the motivation he provided.Sorry, but he specifically fundraised for the new equipment with the promise of shorter times between updates, it wasn't anybody misconstrueing anything. He had a pinned post at the top of his Patreon showing a progress bar on the fundraising. He never said anything about shifting bottlenecks or manual labor until after the fundraising was complete.
EDIT: Just looked at his Patreon page. I can't see the 9000 milestone, but an earlier one pretty much showcases his attitude:
"2000 Patrons:
Animation goal.
I'll buy a dedicated animation PC. That's right, one powerful PC fully dedicated to rendering animations. This means that each update will include more and/or longer animations. "
No mention of speeding up development times there, but I don't know where to find his hype for the 9000 milestone.
I'll give you an example of an even more depressing situation.I'll grant you that but it doesn't help as much as it should, imagine if each episode of a tv show doubled in length and therefore the time between episodes increased every time then imagine the showrunner told the fans they were taking a second crew so that multiple eps could be produced simultaneously and reduce the wait, only to make each ep 4 times longer.
Oh well, it's not like I pay anything for it
A TV show takes twice as long to come out with the final season (2 years instead of 1), there are only 6 episodes (although each episode was variable length - not the typical 60 mins), and it still felt rushed. Could it be I'm talking about GoT...
