Another thing.
May 10th:
"0.5 put us behind schedule. The only solution is to work harder on 0.6. I also don't want to reduce the amount of art in 0.6, so we'll have to hire an assistant for 0.6 as well."
May 17th:
"All the art for 0.6.1 demo is done. Going through the edited script to finish the last bits of dialogue, then I can start assembling the final game sprites.
This week was terrible for me at work. I only had five hours a day to draw and write. Without an assistant artist, we still wouldn't have finished half of the art."
Today:
"I'm going to hire a second artist to help me with this demo for sure."
So did they only have an assistant for one update or what?
