Given the scale of the game, I'd want sole control of as much as is reasonably possible. Anyone else can do posing and programming and whatnot, but the art is what gives the game its character in my opinion. That unique visual style is a huge part of the appeal, and I can totally understand him being jealous about protecting that.

Can't blame him, he's good and this is his baby. I'd probably be the same way if it was my creation, making sure everything stays in style, up to my standard and vision.
Yeah, I don't blame him. Like you both said, it's his baby. And up until now, the money was rolling in, so as long as he can pay the team and himself, why change what works? That said, the Patreon patron growth seems to have plateaued, so they will probably have to be at least somewhat careful with their timelines going forward.

There is nothing special about his art that can't be duplicated or mimicked in order to speed up production, like is done on every comic and cartoon.
I disagree but to each their own. I think duplicated art would be glaringly obvious to spot.

The entire history of cartoons and comic books disagrees with you.
Some styles are easier to be copy than others. The guy they had working for them before didn't have a style was all that close to DC's, IMO. It has been discussed here before, but there is a difference in a bunch of people wanting to do art for comic books versus people that want to do art for adult video games. Lots of people will have no problem putting comics in their portfolio, can the same said about artists wanting porn in their portfolio?

Well, I have a few ideas: 1) the art is 2D, drawn by a single person, so it takes more time than 3D models available; 2) Recently, DC has spent many hours redrawing existing characters, improving their art. While I do love all improvements so far, redrawing something that exists instead of something anew slows down the development 3) the team has become more ambitious; every update has been bigger then the previously. Personally, if this continues, we'll have two updates per year plus one extra. I don't like this.
well it was a rhetoric ranting, trying to see what was the public feeling about the progress of the game, but since you have put some effort into your reply, I could also tell you that with a team of developers which has increased since the very beginning, with a patron support of about mid $40,000.00/month, having peaked at nearly $49,000.00, this progress is not enough in my humble opinion.
However, I too also believe that this could be leading to longer waits for fewer updates, hopefully with longer content, I cannot wait that long!!, I just love the characters that much that it hurts.....specially there.....XD.
Cheers.

This is an example of why each update is taking more time. From today's stream: Debbie's (or as I prefer, Mom's) design reworked. Better and sexier? Hell yes (now I find the old design kinda ugly)!. But at the same time, it's something old redone instead of a new part of Jenny's (or as I prefer, Sis') story.
