how long did your game take to make?

So, as im working on my own title, i got curious about how long the games of other developers here took?
Im a couple months in now as i have so much to learn still but i doubt im alone in that.
Not for comparisons sake, but mostly out of curiosity.

Two years so far (although with a couple of months off very recently), and I reckon at least another year to go :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m up to one year this month on mine I think. No time off on it. Just some less productive months

Still a bit longer to go

Can range, one game took a few months, another roughly a few days (very short however), and currently one that took a year to make. And I’m still not done with either of them.

thanks for your answers!
very insightfull.
Glad im not alone in this.

About six months on my first and (so far) only project.

It can be beaten in about an hour.

Haven’t actually finished a wg-relevant game, however what exists of Tramp was done in a couple of weeks of not sleeping much (so a game-jam time frame, in my defence I have decades of coding experience). In stark contrast Yaffaif has had public releases since 2012 (9 years!) but does include a custom-built game engine which is where much of the effort has gone!
