I don’t think we actually know him well enough to call him as a “free spirit.” It’s also possible that, even if he works constantly at times, he’s often simply lazy or has lost interest in the game. As far as I remember, before Chapter 9 the releases were much more consistent, with regular weekly progress updates about new chapters.Well, because he knows exactly that he works at his own very specific pace, and that this sometimes means—or at least has meant repeatedly in the past—that he disappears for a while, goes radio silent, no regular updates, and that this is simply a workflow that, for him personally, obviously works best. The fact that he has been posting relatively regular updates since the last release is actually the first time this has happened to this extent.
But I can easily imagine that he keeps his distance from this forum because it creates an enormous amount of pressure. There are countless expectations, different opinions, hopes for updates, and ideas about how he should behave. And I think he’s the kind of free spirit who quickly feels constrained when he reads too much here or reacts to it.
I’m reminded of another developer who, whenever even the slightest hint of criticism comes up, immediately storms into the forum and drops a massive rant. And I honestly believe that this holds him back rather than helping him become more successful or focus on what really matters. So from that perspective, I can definitely understand it.
And pressure, I don’t necessarily see it as something negative. In many cases, pressure can be a good thing, because it forces you to stay aware of your responsibilities and realize when you’re falling behind schedule. Without that pressure, it becomes much easier to lose discipline and momentum.
And this thread isn’t only about pressure and expectation either. After the latest update, you can clearly see how much praise and appreciation he received from the thread
