So let's realistically look at this.
If DPC already has all the writing done, which I doubt, but let's say he has, and the logic has checked out, and he only has renders/animations to go. He can't sustain more than 12 hours a day 7 days a week for work. Otherwise he would spend weeks being sick.
In DHS we worked 18 hour days for 21 weeks and had people dropping like flies after 4 weeks. Attrition rate was horrible.
Lets assume he has multiple I-9 machines with 3080s on them and a ton of ram and liquid cooling.
He produced an incredible 3600ish renders. Dozens of Animations, 30ish new songs, layered in as appropriate. Then matched his scripts up to call the correct renders and Animations. Anyone want to take a guess how much time HE has to spend before he places the rendering in the hands of his server farm?
Physically, HE can't create what he wants with poses, and maintain his high quality renders at anything more than 1-2 per hour...let's give him 1.5 per average.
As he branches, there will be multiple render paths for each love interest, and the scripting will be more complex.
Forgetting that I have some problems with his writing, he does have skill in programming and renders. Very considerable skill.
Say his branching coding, even with the story written, takes 20-30 hours per week, as he will test himself as well as passing on.
1.5 renders per hour, and let's be generous and say each animation takes only 5 hours to put together. That is a vastly under estimated time by the way.
If his next chapter begins our process of elimination, or adding new love interests, let's just add a 10% time requirement over all, just for averages.
If he is not sick, and has no family requirements, and works 7 days a week straight, and we assume that the more complex story will add 25% to the overall requirements for renders, scripts, and animations. Not to mention screening and matching his music up (which is always excellent and will take time)- We are looking at July or August before the next release... Please feel free to disagree with my assumptions and do the math, but I can't find much wrong with my VIN diagram on this....
Gah that is a long time!
And this is hoping he stays healthy and sane enough to work,,,,, without downtime... which is insane by itself.....
Fuck us all!
