How long did it take?

Hi, how long did it take you to bring the engine to a working and usable state from the moment you started? Just the engine alone (without the GX and VG libs) has more than 400 thousand lines of code. That is a great deal of work. Thank you.

I never had chance to work on it full-time except vacations/holidays, and I've been working on it on-off since 2019. I'd say roughly 3 years of decent half-time work has been put into it. Although I made a lot of mistakes, and a lot of over-engineering & rewrites. If i was starting now I'd spent 6 months full-time work to get it to a stage even better than it is right now. And that's what im doing currently :p
