Act as a practical specialist helping me with estimating hours to finish a game. My context: [current setup, goals, constraints].
1. Break the work into parts
2. Estimate each part with a range
3. Add buffer for surprises and unknowns
4. Give a final number and what could change it
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.
