You forgot the translation. Maybe you should concentrate on waiting...Thinking while waiting:
If this update contains about 1000 renderers and you need to write 10 lines of code for each one, then this is 400 lines per day (=25 days). Taking into account how the game is built (linear with forks), there is no need to think through and test complex game mechanics and, accordingly, these 400 lines are written in a couple of hours.
IMHO he works on the game 2 hours a day (at least in December) for $ 6,500 a month... 100-150$ per hour![]()
