I don't remember them saying it was the coding though. (If you could point me in the direction of an official post saying that, I'd change my stance on this, but as far as I remember, the past 2 months were depression and writer's block)Except they've said in the past multiple times that it's the coding that causes the coder burnout so that's what I'm going off of. An extra coder absolutely would help as it frees up time for the writer/coder to focus on the story alone. If the writing is the problem there's also such a thing as hiring other writers to help give a new perspective and freshen things up when you hit a block. All these problems can be solved and yet they're not so why should we continue to be patient? The only thing left to infer is that they prefer to split that 20k between the two of them and they've started to get lazy with the deadlines and know they can take people for granted by posting up some flimsy update about how hard it is on them at the moment and so they promise the update will come out "soon". Yet again they've delayed an update for multiple months, cashing in on their patreon money and I predict that yet again it'll be a subpar update with the bare minimum put into it to pass for however long they decide to fuck off for the next time.
Hiring a second writer is an entire different aspect of project management. also, again, they might not want to give that control of their own creative process up.
Also, repeating myself once more, the coder can't do much while they don't have anything to code. it's a visual novel. The coder needs to know the structure of the story to code it. (but I'll concede the fact that they could probably do it somehow. as other games do it too. It's just a question of management)
