I can't say anything about the output rate since so far we only got one release, which was the tech demo. To say anything about speeds or rates, you need at least two releases.
However, a major point for the remake was, that the data and story structure of the legacy version required too much work and has been simplified. So at least the goal is to get more content out in the same time. We'll see how that worked out once the content starts coming.
he had thousands of rendered pictures for old version, and it takes more than 2 months to release full update. seemd as 2-3 years needed to reach amount of content of old 0.9 version

Well, he won't reuse most of them, not just for the aesthetics, but also because the layer stucture is different. The target is to reach a similar level as 0.9 at the end of summer. Once we get the first update, we can evaluate if that's possible ot not. But so far it's all just wild guesses.
Since everything is static, the render time is not what takes most of the time. He has to do a lot of work after that however. In the previous version apparently too much. I unpacked the rpa to use the different layers to create my own pictures and the old version really had quite a confusing folder structure. Instead of location->situation->character->clothinglayers or situation->location->character->clothinglayers he put the character on top of the hierarchy which makes it a bit complicated to find the right layers. Of course he knows his structure better than I do, but coding must have been a pain.
The tech demo of the new version still has it's problems, the lighting is not consistent. I hope he can get that sorted in time.
But then again when only seeing one variation each time while playing, one won't notice. Maybe it's just noticeable while comparing the shots directly.
But if it really takes 3 years ... so be it.
There's no point in complaining or badmouthing it. Who wants faster assembly line progress can always play Glamour.
"rebuilding" is a shortest way to bury this project, you all will see )))

If this next update doesn't cover up to atleast half of what we had before, you will probably be right.
All I see is someone coming into this thread to make a prediction of this game's inevitable death based on absolutely nothing.

Maybe in a year or two, when people still say that this project is doomed to fail, I'll dig out this comment.
I thought we would be caught up to the old version at the end of the summer? I have to wait 2 more years?

If you are happy with the old version and don't want any more content, you don't, no.
No matter how much we'll get in these two years, people will keep complaining and saaying that the game is soon to be abandoned, just like they did three years ago.
