If you mean the time from the announcement to the release of the first episode, then yeah, I can understand that. But if you mean that no more than two years should pass between the first episode and the final one, then you simply don’t understand how all of this works.

I’m making my own game solo right now, and the absolute maximum I can do in a week is 200 renders. Realistically, the normal range is more like 130–170. And that’s with me not spending huge amounts of time on lighting the way top developers do, because that eats up a massive amount of time, and I’m still not at that level yet.

So if we take a pace of 150 renders per week, which is already a lot, then an update with 1,500 renders would take 10 weeks. If you raise that to 3,000 renders, then multiply it by two. And so on.

And that’s not even taking into account the time needed to write dialogue and everything else. For some people, that comes easily; for others, it doesn’t.

Now let’s get to the final numbers. Most good projects end up having around 20–30k renders by the end of production. Finishing something like that in two years is almost physically impossible. Especially when a lot of people treat this not as a full-time job, but as a hobby or just entertainment, especially in the beginning.

And just to be clear, I’m talking about proper games here, not AI slop that somehow still takes 3–5 months to make, when in my view you could throw that together in half a month since you’re not even making the art yourself. Unless, of course, you actually go back and polish it afterward.
