How Long Does It REALLY Take to Make an Indie Game?

We wanted to discuss today how long it actually takes to finish an indie game. The answer is - it varies and is often quite long. We have been developing games for some time now and we thought we would share our experiences today!

This channel is so fresh damn I'm sure at the time that I announce my game this channel will probably have 50 video at most

[matissebriers]

I made an online multiplayer game in 6 hours. Well, it took another 6 hours to make the multiplayer server. And I spent 2 days fighting with the bloody AWS configuration. And the game got hacked in 15 minutes. But still. That's a bit less than a year!
Some people played it for several days, which surprised me. I ran out of time during a game jam so I just made the simplest thing I could come up with.
There's not a lot of multiplayer browser games (compared to other types of games) so there's much less competition there.

I got a demo out in 5 months in Unity and it was my first real game. So there are exceptions.

Do you want free accomodation on the Gold Coast in Australia for 6-12 months just to go balls deep on an original game? :D plus commission, food etc.

[BrianHallmond]

How much to hire you for a full Bullet hell game?

[sazafrass]

Are you a former ted-ed animator or just inspired?

[VskutkuTrigen]

The colors is weird design choice but its nice video cool. U cooked.

Truth is majority of games never finish and if you are able to finish a game you are already ahead of 99%.
A better video would be, "how to know if you will ever finish your indie game?"

*Too Damn Big Worlds with half the content 👎 AC Mirage was mid but it had the perfect sized world and still not enough content 😂 I think every game should learn from Bully: Scholarship Edition* 👍
