I think it is hard to make anything in this world today. Criticism can be helpful but it seems that most use it as a reason to hate a creator. I've seen everything from racism and bigotry to someone accusing a creator of being a "mask wearing libtard".
Most people who create things that take this much effort are not all that stable. Many already suffer from low self esteem and depression. Add to that all kinds of bible thumping jerks who like to make themselves feel better by sh!ting on others and what you have is a house of cards. All it takes is for one break-up, or one death of a friend or family, or one tragedy for the whole project to be thrown away.
I think it's awesome that she is still trying.
