In the last stream, DC was showing a whole new UI to the viewers and it should tell you that he's still unsure as to the final direction his game is going.
IMHO, this entire game is a way for him to play with, and to test ideas to implement, as well as him taking the time to go back and improve areas where it's needed (art/story/coding). I know that there are going to be a
lot of varying opinions on that, seeing as some just want the old art, and then just push forward until completion.
Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. So, for anyone that prefers that idea? Best to jump ship, because this games finish date is going to be a long time from now.
Some people either don't know, or don't remember that the game itself was originally just him goofing around to see if he could even make one, by learning renpy on his own. The art was sloppy and rushed by his own admission, and for a lot of the early streams, they were just a reason for him to drink and draw, where some of the streams had very little to do with the game at all.
He brought on others when he started getting support by backers, and a lot of them enjoyed watching the streams, as much as they did playing the game. It's one of the reasons why people won't stop supporting him, no matter how many people on a pirate site tell them to do so.
In short, he's not milking anything, he just has zero plans to finish it on anyone else's schedule but his own.
And he'd also be the type of person to drag it out even further, just to spite anyone who tells him to hurry up. Remember that.
