if it takes you 6 months to add a new fundamental game mechanic then thats understandable
if it takes you 6 months to remove an unnecessary popup then youre incompetent. (looking at you, Hunt Showdown)
Lol hunt takes six months dev time to make the ui twice as worse
UI is incredibly complex under the hood. Cryengine is also difficult to work in. There are tons of reasons games with distinct outstanding features don't switch engines, though, and it's usually due to the specific features said engine provides, no matter how difficult it becomes to work with as a legacy system over the years.
closer to 2 years. its crazy how incompetent crytek is.
