If we're doing Undertale mixed in with our next Hatoful (manga) recording, I'm certainly not going to up and leave when we get to that point -- I just don't think I'd be interested in bothering to attend a session put together for nothing but Undertale. (Which obviously isn't an issue at the moment since we're basically finished the demo, but I mean in the future when the full game comes out.)
I share your feeling about the pressure from the fans, but actually I have the opposite response -- rather than putting out regular content, I feel like we have a responsibility to put out quality content.... if I subscribed to someone, I would rather get a great video every few months than mediocre ones all the time....
I think the solution here is not to worry about the strict integrity of "team hatoful" per se..... not in the sense of "breaking up the band" but in terms of band members having side projects. I think David's got the right idea, he's doing videos alone, or with other people, as the project suits.... we've already established that five people doing Undertale was a bit of overkill anyway, so I think the way to have frequent content AND good content is to not be afraid to have smaller groups doing other things instead of feeling forced to find something that exactly all five of us always want to do. (Frankly I think applying the name 'team hatoful' to non-hatoful videos was a bit of a mistake in the first place, and just led to the current awkward situation.... I can certainly understand the desire to keep providing videos to an audience that's going to be starved for content until the next game once we're done the manga, but maybe it would make more sense to put videos like that on the tumblr as "here's some other things the Team Hatoful members are doing!" rather than "hello we're most of team hatoful even though this game isn't a hatoful game!")
