all my work done in the week from tue, 18.nov to wed, 26.nov sums up to 54h:

2008-11-18, tue: 3h
2008-11-19, wed: 5h
2008-11-20, thu: 6h
2008-11-21, fri: 8h
2008-11-22, sat: 6h
2008-11-23, sun: 4h
2008-11-24, mon: 8h
2008-11-25, tue: 5h
2008-11-26, wed: 9h

due to the fact that i was also working at my day-job monday to thursday each week, i did similiar as krystian start work at 18'o clock and end it after midnight.

i did not track exactly how much time i used for each level, because i was jumping back and forth sometimes (making corrections, hints & wishes, adding different pickup positions, etc.)

due to the fact that i didn't add many new features in the level editor i also didn't keep track of that time separately.

but i believe adding xml export, some tracing option i needed for the solutions and some simple used-path-visualization took aprox. 8 hours.

designing the 30 levels did took me aprox. 6h, which leaves ~40h for the raw level-editing craftmanship. which is actually 25% better than my original assumption to need arround 2h per each level. which i actually believe to have only reached for a few of the more difficult and thus more complex levels.

krystian, if i wanted to argue with you (which i don't ;) i'd say that you did take more and more time for later work (purple, pink, cyan) simply because one isn't very effective when working that late.

You'd be wrong. The Data hardly supports that assumption.

What is "raw level-editing craftmanship"?
