You are literally making things up. It is 42 task that need to be done not 42 pieces of art and you know that.I have a way to solve your optimism issue. It's been a few months, there's only 42 pieces of artwork. For a game that only puts out a worthwhile update twice a year, 42 new pieces of artwork is not very much. Thus reinforcing the whole "DC is purposefully sandbagging his updates to get as much money as he can out of Summertime Saga with as little work as possible." argument.
