How long does it take to make a game

Question

How long does it take?

Answer 1

the answer greatly depends on the game. 2D games can be produced rather quickly if you have a good engine on hand. 3D games are quite a bit more comprehensive and require a lot more skill sets to complete. even in mainstream games it would be hard to use a reference since the size of the company's vary vastly

Answer 2

Depends on your skill and the type of game. And if you are working alone or with other people. If you're working with many other people (like in a company), you are all very good and the game is very simple, you're probably done in a week. If you are working alone, trying to make a big game and you are not very experienced (like me 😜) then you are probably going to take years. There are many factors involved, so I can't really give you a conclusive answer.

Answer 3

It usually takes me about a week just to implement a single feature in an MMO. Depending on whether or not the mechanics needed already in place and if I need to create a new management system to handle it, it can take up to 3 weeks.

Answer 4

As mentioned it depends on your skill and how disciplined you are. i know some people that can create a game with the write framework in a week or less. I also know some that it can take months to a year or more.

So you have to ask yourself what do i want in a game what do you expect a game to do ???

Answer 5

It depends on many factors. 2D or 3D, type of game, working with others/alone, number of Levels, etc. A very simple game, let's say a tic tac toe can take you a couple of hours.
