You can't just compare the pace of several indie devs just based on the renders number. There are a lot of variables which can impact how fast they can released updates.I don't want to sound rude or ungrateful but I am wondering how the heck does it take the dev 9 months estimate since the last release to make 3k renders with no animations, like 3k renders isn't little I know its a lot but still with no animations it shouldn't take them such an insane amount of time especially when other solo game devs are putting out games with animations with the same amount of renders and in less time.
A few that come in my mind:
- Health issues.
- Family issues.
- Skills level.
- Power and number of the rig(s) used to renders.
- Being a perfectionist and redoing some scenes a couple of time for minor defects.
- Having a daily job or not. Don't forget than very few indie devs earn enough from there game to lead a decent life. Most of them must have another job.
- Having a daily job at 5 minutes walk from home vs 3 hours of public transport per day.
- Having a daily job that required a lot of overtime vs a part time job.
- Single vs family with kids.
- Living like an hermit vs having a busy social life.
- Working tirelessly with no life vs save some free time for enjoying other things.
- And so on...
