How Long Does It Take to Make a Video Game?
It depends on the game if you were making a tic-tac-toe game it would take all of 10min, to make a game like world of warcraft it can take years because there are so many other things you have to take into consideration. That will make the program much larger as well as programs aren’t perfect so there can be minor problems that have to fixed over the time that the game is in use. So the more complicated the game the long it takes to make and the more upkeep is required to keep it running smoothly.
If you are doing it alone, it could take more than 5 years i would imagine. But my dad told me (hes talked to people who make them) that the companies that make those type of games all have different people on different jobs, like the characters, buttons, cover art, the land or background, and then the actions and other stuff like that. it could take about a year if u have a full team working on it.
depends. Full Pc gmaes cna take anywhere from a year to several. though over 3 years and msot developers cancle or it becomes Vaporware. PSN/XBLA type games take about 3-6 months. Flash gmaes about a week. tehre was a group of peopel who did ” 7 days games” so gave themselves 1 week to come up wiht an idea, make a prototype, then polish ot full game, then uplaoded whatever they made that week.
