People seem to be confusing big time, specially the DH likes, as well as most his supporters, that there's difference between founding partners like how Breeding Season started (and ended abruptly) and employees under a main developer's leadership like say MrZed from Skyflare (The creator of Kinky Fight Club and Solas City Heroes), whom many not be doing all the work but supervise everything amd things are done under his request. Which ironically is what DH does, however by doing the "not officially hire process so I dont have to pay their expenses" kind of way. Which is a big dick move. Specially cause the updates' speed goes as fast as if he's doing everything by himself.... Except he doesn't. As Drages, btw, former coder of BotN (my respects for that man), mentioned, the UI was made by a UI designer who lets adress the elephant in the room. Have played far too much Genshin Impact, half the code was made by Drages, part of the translations were made by people like me who volunteered once but almos had to do a full job cause the guy couldnt understand something so basic that English and say Portugues, Spanish, Italian, whatevs, gendering system doesnt work in the same way and the quoting systems required individual pages for feminine and masculine characters cause half half the lines in the game that in English are gender neutral in others they arent. And when I left that team he didnt implemented such, been that it was asked sinxe before I joined and after I left wasnt still there. And so on....
Don't get me wrong, I love BotN and it's possibilities, as well as how hot and adorable some characters amd interactions feel, but you know, is one of those games where the fun needs to pass for some many hoops to start being such that it can be hairpulling at times and then you see how updates go.... Then the part that you dont even know if you should be hyped about another update cause that means another save wipe and "May the SaveEdit be with you, my padawan" situation repeats.
