Let's hope the dev proves the critics wrong. Think its best if we leave further criticism till after the update. For now, there's a few reviews that outline some issues with the game.
That's a difficult Question to answer. The book "The mythical Man Month" published back in 1975 found that in Software Projects very often adding more People when it's late makes it even later. That's due to the fact that you Need to get the additional People up to Speed and that you incur coordination Overhead. Those findings have been confirmed time and again until today. Once you're late there is often quite Little you can do short time to Change it. Medium term is what you Need to concentrate on.
Story.
Good points. Not much can help the current release, I agree.That's a difficult Question to answer.

Going by my experience in Software development (around 15 years) I also can see how switching to a new technological Basis (going to Unity from RenPy) can throw a wrench into an otherwise well oiled machine. Stuff comes up that you did not anticipate (and that's just Talking about technical issues here). Hopefully the capabilities of the new technology will make that change worthwhile in the end.
Given that quite Little Information on what's actually Happening is available I don't want to make any claims on what's the case. I just wanted to add a Little perspective from a Software developer on some of the ideas presented.
Talking of the game itself. There's quite Little to see yet. I thoroughly enjoyed playing DoD however and am curious to see where the Dev will take us next. Fingers crossed that after some difficulty getting of the Ground he'll deliver another "inspiring"
Yea, it's not out yet.
I believe they call that paranoia, you should really see someone about that.
What to do with his money, the author decides for himself, after all it's his money and not yours, you could make such suggestions if some of this money were yours if you were a patron for example, but you are like me pirate of the internet ocean as far as I can see.
He's just speaking facts... everyone's thinking it, nobody's saying it. At this point they're just milking their patrons by giving false hope with BS release dates. I've seen this on various games already.
if u or any other think this dev is a liar or a non profesional dev, be my guest but u have no idea just how fucking wrong you are .
