Not in mean way but he put this on himself with the really rigid thinking instead of adapting. Maybe starmaker really was a side project at first. It's not. Not anymore. Maybe he wanted to keep things clean. No added content past 2.0. 2.0 being the final update. Only solid updates. 1.1. 1.5. 1.8. only letters if it needs a gamebreaking bugfix. Because of his imposed rule he HAS to add as much as he can creatively within one patch.
Is not really a self-imposed rule. Starmaker was and continues to be a side project. That doesn't mean he doesn't love the project, hence why he is trying to put all of the content he envisions into it. Starmaker has been a wonderful game with which he has learned more about unity, and it continued to grow because every time is almost done, he thinks about something else that would be good to have and so he works on it.
