[casual_games] How many hours does a programmer need...

[Ryan Sumo]

How many hours does a programmer need per week to finish a game with a 
dev time of 6-8 months?
   
  I've been talking to some programmers about a game I want to make and 
been asking them the hours they could spare if they did it on the side.  
I've been getting answers ranging from 4-5 up to 7-10 hours a week.
   
  I was just curious how past developers who worked with people who did 
it on the side fared.  Can I compensate by having more than one 
programmer?  Because as far as I can tell from working with them the more 
programmers on a piece of code, the more muddled up it gets.
   
  Just to give you guys an idea, the game would be about as complex as 
diner dash, or a little more than that.
