Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

On average, how long do you spend on one of your projects?

I normally spend about 5 days on one.

But how many hours/day does that involve?  A better measure might be the total number of hours spent on the project.   For my own projects, it varies a lot.  Anywhere from 4 hours to 40 hours.

That would be about 12-15 hours on one project. A small project would take 1-2 days/2-5 hours and a bigger one for me can range from anywhere between 25 hours to 40 hours.

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

Well, sometimes I only spend 10 minutes on a project and for other projects I spend many hours. My brother and I spent around 20-40 hours making archknight's adventure.

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

Sometimes my projects take months - because sometimes it gets a bit difficult, and i work on another one  big_smile .

But it varies a lot. My tetris survivor project took 2 days. Around 7/8 hours or so.

I've made projects in under an hour, but both PSP Classic and 1.5 took a couple of weeks.

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

When I do a really simple game (ike Runner), then it only takes at most half an hour. But when I do a more difficult and longer game (like Blitz and The Square's Route) it takes me about 3-4 hours.

All of the projects listed above were made by ME!

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

Very simple games, like pong or "Christmas Night" or "Boing Gloing" take up usually about one hour. For my best game, "Make-a-Horse", I spent about 2-4 hours a day, I made it in about 4 days not counting the graphics work, or in 7 days with the graphics.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

I ussaly spend 7 days, seeming as im way to busy to really work on it, and then, it just glitches up for no reason and it takes DAYS to debug it. See here: Me and Cyclone and Dawisch have been working on this, and it just glitched. If anyone can help with the glitch, we will give credit for you in the description. Here it is: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/heybrian1/129735

To make a project, just open up scratch! When you're done, just press the share button.

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

I take much Months XD Im just too lazy.
First I spend much, much time for the project.
Then my Motivation always fades away.

For Example I'm working on an RPG Mix which is only finished by 50%. And I'm not a bit motivated to continue... .oO(It has to be realeased on April 12th (Brithday)) Woohoo!

Re: Poll: How long does it take you to make a project?

Usually I start a project, but then about halfway through I get an idea for a new project. So I start another project. And then the cycle repeats. So it usually takes me about 2 weeks to make a simple project.
