I have often wondered what makes developers sidetrack or start new projects while they are already busy creating one.
This makes little sense since CLEARLY, the focus cannot be on the one story, which would flourish and update MUCH QUICKER, but no, maybe it is boredom, maybe they want 2 sets of income, hell maybe its even Maybelline, it doesn't matter.
When you STOP producing content no no SLOW DOWN on it, the fans you have garnered FOR that project get flustered, then concerned, and finally just don't even bother anymore.
IF the developer doesn't care about their project much any longer, why would their fans?
Edit: The Dev contracted a virus that's affecting his lungs, which might be a substantial reason to focus on, what about the previous 2 years of content then>?
The focus could be on the UPDATES, then the secondary in cleaning up the previous version after the updates have been successfully added to the project.
Having a THIRD project to focus on ("After"?) seems to me like it might be the MAIN, and shouldn't even be worked on at ALL until the updates are complete (like eating your dessert before you finish your meal).
See focusing on ONE project will garner much more content and progress the story already being told, rather than apparently keeping the MAIN as a side project, while spending a lot of time on their new project that they are FAR more excited about.
