is that soo..? i can understand the delays if it occurred during the transition phase when Sierra Lee decided to leave Nomo(if that's the name), but since then Nomo added 2 or 3 talented individuals into his development team, shouldn't that make any sizeable difference to the waiting time per update, or even have more time to propose and schedule a weekly progress report series to allievate and explain to potential patreons and current patreons that things are progressing at a steady pace?
tl:dr i thought adding more people into a project would help the development cycle between each update to be shorter
Yeah, increasing a team size doesn't have a direct relationship to the speed or quality of work. Basically in any team / group project there's a period near the beginning of working together that there's very slow progress until the group gets into a groove, gets used to each other, settles in. After that initial period work generally speeds up.
However, if there's a bottleneck in the group, or the group ends up not working well together progress stays the same or slows down and eventually the team breaks apart in some way.
So you can have a team that's working really well together, but adding in another team member will always slow things down at first, and they may never really recover depending on the group dynamics.
As for increased communication, comments on that have been part of the flames I mentioned in the previous post so I'm not going to say anything else about that.
