No, not 50%
Animation queue is pretty much the only factor that matters.
Exactly. Animation and rendering is the time sink. Which can be bought for by the hour on remote render farms.
Music is already bought, and some of that is already being cycled as per EP11.
Doing all the screens for scenarios and their scenes/multiple paths also takes time, but not as much, which is what he should be focused on.
Not saying his animation is bad, but others can be paid to do such work, do it better and faster, and literally cut the time by 1/3 at the minimum.
But DPC doesn't care; it's his pet project that happens to be popular, making mucho money, and that's that. More time, more money. Lazy? Efficient? Who knows.
He may not do lazy writing, but he's lazy in everything else.
