DF has been around, and under active development, for ten years and is quite a bit more popular than you seem to realize.

> If he doesn't want to do it himself he should let someone talented in that area join the development team.

And it's also one guy living off Patreon and the donations generated by DF. Where should he find the money to pay an employee?

Kickstarter for Dwarf Fortress graphics initially, then Patreon again with an expanded community due to the Kickstarter. Seems like that would work reasonably well, without changing the basic game.
