I saw someone ask Breadman how many events are left to do for this update and he said this:
I really liked how this person calculated potential release. I think he calculated it pretty accurately. What do you guys think? release in November?

I think we should not worry about when and just be patient. There are many things we can be doing than swap guesstimates.
More people does not = faster progress.

maybe in rare occasions. however, in most cases, in most walks of life, the more people you have, the faster a project can be completed. to say otherwise is disingenuous.

yes more people will be faster but then those people have to work well as a team are it will fall apart. in fighting can do alot of harm to a team as well

You are incorrect. Not in "most cases" - but in many, yes. However, putting more plumbers in your bathroom will not clear that clog any quicker, relatively. Having more cooks in the kitchen can create a cacophony of a mess if the work and space does not demand it. Every job/task/project has different requirements for effective progress and continuance of said job/task/project.
As for this independent game - Breadman is the artist and is the only one who they are willing to trust to do the art. The same can be said for the other roles. If you bring on more people to help with art, Breadman moves away from the work he loves - drawing and moves more into management, which he may (or may not) despise. This would affect his morale on the project. This would also introduce more conflicts. Such changes may actually hinder progress instead of expediting it.
Again, looking at his subscriber numbers - it appears that he has a lot of support for what he is working on and how his is working on it from the people who drop a tip regularly in the jar for him to continue. If they start to dip, then the team may decide to change their strategy, until them, we will just need to wait.
If Breadman should/would change something team wise, yes art work should still be him but maybe get someone to do the game coding, which can be time consuming(not as much as the art and animated content).
Great way to show your ignorance of the dev team.
Zakko is doing the code work for Demon Deal. He is currently going through and fixing Breadman's old code and making it more robust and future proof. Once he is caught up he will take over fully form Bread.
You can probably bet though that Zakko lends a hand to Bread for current code so it isn't too flawed or anything like that.

Hmm i really don´t get it why so many people show a big lack of patience. There are games which take a year for 1 or a few update and in the end you get what maybe 15 minutes of half-baked content if any.
Bread on the other hand takes his time to do good and without that shitty AICG overlay. Hope the Artstyle will remain.
Yes the updates take a while but there is a decent amount of good quality content in it. It has charm, jokes and a nice story to it.
I would rather wait half a year and get a really good update than get a 5 minute content update every 2 months. pfft.

Your example of what others might do is a bit fabricated. Other games I play, the developer does have quite a bit of new content, where the updates are more frequent, but that is because they have a bigger development team.
As someone who also manages dev team resources as part of the job, my favourite joke to the stakeholders is that just cause you have 9 mothers, doesn't mean a baby can be made in a month.
There are a lot of factors me and you are not aware of to make an accurate judgement. Obviously every team has inefficiencies, but as long as communication exists and results are shown (within a timeframe that isn't outrageous) I don't see an issue.
That was before he had his injury. That's a huge factor in why v0.6 was heavily delayed. That's life... these things happen.
So whilst content per update has increased. So has the quality of his art. (compare some of the opening scenes to v 5.5 or 6)
That takes longer in itself, added in managing his shoulder because of the previous injury. He is now drawing at a pace that is sustainable rather than push to draw fast and completely his ability to draw anything at all.
