I always find it funny that people say with the xxx amount of money you make of this you should .... and so on....
Then they count the development time months and say ,,, you made xxxx amount.
My thoughts always goes to this:
First,, It's not like a dev starts making a game has the initial release and gets handed a bucket of cash every month, there is a gradual line in increase or decline of money depending on how the game is doing.
Usually any dev is lucky to get any patrons/subscribestar or whatever form of payment in the first few months when they start.
So,,, hiring someone might even be possible one month,, and not so much the next. + there are the expenses that where made before even the initial release.. it's not like all the shit is free that is needed to make a vn. Not even mentioning the rig/hardware minimum to make renders without turning a rig into a smoking mess or 4 hours for 1 render mess. So upgrades where done or a second rig has to be bought.
Second thought
and that person that gets hired is going to do what exactly ?????
Do the renders ???? write the story ???? do some coding ?????
This is all NR's vision, work and idea. that would mean he would have to explain what he wants, how he wants it to look like and everything..... That would be like describing a abstract painting to a blind person,,, they get the gist but not the meaning or the full picture.
So anyone talking cash to a dev should be required to state what they make in a month and justify how they spend that money. (and explain how in most cases they are not supporting this game)
