Solutions have been suggested to L&P on it's time, i told him to contact the renpi developer (which i've been also a patron of), to address the problem with having to download 15Gb every update instead on automatically upload a patch to renpi app. Which if i understood, this will be the last(?) update we've got to download the entire pack...I understand your sarcasm, my friend.
I will say more. I love L&P's stubbornness and how he goes about his goal.
The fact of the matter is that I have no desire to influence his decisions, I say that such a survey could really help him. Not to you and me, but to him, which in the second turn would probably be useful for us as well. Provided that it somehow helps him.
I understand that the survey is not so important. It will be much more useful to create a team, but it is extremely difficult. And I perfectly understand for what reasons.
He is stubborn, and artsy, and gets lost in his perfectionism, and takes like a huge lot of time between updates... and for a "small" update he makes 1000 renders and 47 pages of text... Yup. But i like his art, and 35€ is like buying him two meals and 4 coffees... So in a sense what he is "milking" us is more like patience than cash.
