You're right, that was the original idea & the Dev said he hoped AWAM would be the first of several games. I was working from memory & seemed to recall a fan's query, from when it began to be clear that it would take longer. That's where the 5 years came from & I thought at the time that sounded reasonable, despite it being longer than most games around back then.You are in some mistake for thinking about to finish the game in 5 years.
The original idea was 3-3,5 years,4 in worst case scenario.
Part of the problem, although I have no evidence, could have stemmed from the Dev being unduly influenced by a 1984 fantasy film entitled, "The Never Ending Story."
