Title: How long ?

I think that there is a important question to game makers. How much time is need to spend to make a average game ? I finished my chess game after 4 years, made on language that work in DOS,  a few years ago. So, how much time is necessary to make a game like "7 DAYS A SKEPTIC" or "6 DAYS A SACRIFICE"  for example ? is probably that no one have the answer, but i would like to get suggestions of someone. Days ? Weeks ? Months ? Years ?

"Days ? Weeks ? Months ? Years ?"

Yes to all of them. Like you say there is no answer to this, it depends on the person. Just start making it, set milestones for yourself, meet them as best you can and then keep doing that until the game is done.

It's tough but obviously doable!

Been covered here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29881.0). And here. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=18854.0) Oh and here. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=13650.0)

It's like with any other project, some people need years, others spit out a game every week.
