There is one question you must ask yourself if you find that you are in a project and you are having doubts about its progress or individual contributors, and that question is this: are you the person who cares the most about the project on the team?
If the answer is no, and it's falling apart, then you don't need any more information, because you don't care enough. Save yourself the trouble and walk away.
If the answer is yes, then congratulations, you're the project leader. And as far as indie projects are concerned, a leader is NOT a person who tells other people what to do. A leader has to lead by example, not by instruction. You better be doing more tangible work than everyone else, possibly combined, or you better be paying them for their work. Otherwise, they are in that "don't care most" category and if they see the project falling apart they will follow the above advice for people in that category.
If you're the leader, and something needs doing, you do it. If you for whatever reason cannot do it, you build detailed plans for how it is to be done. If you need illustrations and you're not an illustrator, make and use placeholders. Same for audio. If you can't program, build directing documents for what you want the code to do. If a script needs to be written, you write it. If you suck at writing, you write a draft and feed it to a writer or an editor.
As the leader of an indie project, you are the one who must be doing the most, because you are the one who actually cares the most. If other contributors fall off, you can replace them, because they were just there to fill in assets that you designed. If you're waiting for someone else to design your project for you, forget it. Return to the consumer's side of the market from whence you came.
Do or die. Simple as that.
