The drawback in your method is that you are not considering L&P a human. This method treats him like a machine who immediately has to get to work after the update is released with no rest, no break and no personal life, no falling Ill and no days off, no time towards planning the next scene and so on. Just a man who must make this game 365 days a year.
You mean we will scare the people?
If he wants to go on vacation or if he is sick he can easily say that and then that time shouldn't count but he didn't do that.
He is a superman, I know that he works like a jackhammer, like a workshop man, he is just a man who loves his game, perhaps he is the most productive milker in history.
I will never understand why some people here are so fixated on the number of images. The problem is that once again a lot of time has gone down the drain without any real progress in the main story line.0.165 dev start 05/26/22 release 07/11/2022 >>> 47 days
0.170 dev start 07/19/22 release (at worse) 08/30/22 >>>> 43 days
250/47 = 5.32 renders/day
230/43 = 5.35 renders/day
The difference 0.03 is a pigeon turd
That is a bad sign.
Most people in western countries work 5.5-6 days a week. That's 45-70 additional days off, so in total it's more like 65-90 days off. I really don't know how many days off he takes for himself but I believe it's in the range of 50-80. From your last posts it looks like you think all those days between an update and 4×0% are days off for him, but a year ago (maybe more) he explained what's going on in this gap. If I remember correctly - it's arranging files, fixing bugs/typos, searching for new assets and rethinking the story. This time he also had to deal with Patreon. How many days all this should take - I really don't know, but at the end I'm pretty sure he didn't take 14 days off...
I should have been more clear: When I'm talking about days off I'm talking about vacation days and don't include weekends into that.
I still am not sure. But based on what i understand from your message.

no kidding, the more renderers the more intense the event, this is what I noticed.Even though 230 seems like a suspiciously round number, here is, again for **mere statistical purposes** the updated top 30 events based on the number of renders. (that's the kind of job we have to do 24/7 here in the basement of the federal building
The upcoming tutoring job of v0.170 would place 9th in the list, right above the previous event on PD 12 with 226 renders.

The number on the left are the PDs on which the event occurs. And with all the caveats that I explained last time on how the renders are counted and some events are splitter.
And, again, the purpose is just to put everything in context.
You don't find it weird that L&P went from ~6 weeks downtime for one PD (roughly 2 weeks after 1/3rd PD updates) to about 5 months downtime for one PD (roughly 2 weeks after 1/10th PD updates)? Up to five months of absolute nothingness compared to previously 6 weeks, give or take.
Up until now there had been only 3 gaps out of 9 (for this 1/10 of a PD) and I don't think they add up to 14×3 = 42 days (but I'm too lazy to verify it...). Let's check this number when he finishes this PD before intentionally giving pessimistic forecast (just like the one you gave here yesterday). And since I (and also everyone else here) don't really know his workflow and the way he really spends his working hours, I can't tell how many "gap days" went unnoticed between scenes when each update contained 1/3 - 1/2 PD. But if you must know, I also think those "gap days", if they continue the trend, are a bit too much.
