Well, it doesn't change my opinion much.
They refuse to hire someone else, because they feel it will slow them down. That feeling will probably only get stronger over time. But even a small game that goes professional needs a multiple of what they have in Salem.
For the UI. Good the Paradox at least makes them do a re-skin. But that is not enough since it only changes...well the skin. The actual mechanics need to be entirely overhauled. There is not much good about the UI to begin with. And they still seem to hate working on it. It needs to be proritized a lot more than they are aware of. Since you want Joe Average to be playing and liking your game, but with the current layout he just won't stick with it for 5 minutes.
