@igunatsu @pixel_maniacs We started with the project 4 years ago, but had pauses in between :)

In total, we worked 23,736 hours on ChomaGun 2: Dye Hard. Here is an overview of how much each employee with a general contract of >20 h/week contributed to developing our game in the span of four years. On top of that we worked with interns, part time employees and freelancers.
