Because we aren't looking at one single update but at the whole development until it's done or at least at several updates. Right now DC is already drawing art for the next update(s) and right now the size of his teams fits the art. If he'd hire more coders and posers, for example, they'd probably sit on their hands most of the time. I mean, there's a reason why the team is actually smaller now, than it was at times, when he had two coders and 1 to 2 posers. I asked him myself a while ago if he'd consider replacing Dogeek but he said he'd only do if there's a need.Yeah and how come that art is 100% finished and he already draws art for the next update? No 12 months that I see...
@Oriandu:
I think we talked past eachother massively. The base assumption is simply that DC can always hire more coders and posers but won't get a second artist. That's all we talk about. And by that definition the speed and time until the game is finished (fingers crossed) will be determined by how fast DC creates the art. If he needs another 4 years to draw all the art that's needed to finish, the game will be done in 4 years and a few weeks, no matter whether he expands his team or not.
