My Question for you Cryswar, is it hard too make a game ?. How much time, do you have too work on it and have a 9-5job ?. I am looking to get into this field, except I only want too write the story part of it. Percy Jackson And the game SMITE being my biggest influences in terms of my story. I am gonna keep the human element OUT of the story. Try something new in terms of story.
It depends on a lot of factors. Your writing speed, discipline, how much coding you have to do, whether you're drawing art yourself or commissioning it, funding, etc. DD has probably around 4000 hours of work in it currently, a good chunk of that just me learning how to code, but an hour of writing might take 2-5 minutes to read and none of that counts planning time.
If you're just doing a kinetic novel, pure writing and a little sprite stuff, no mechanics, you could probably get a good amount done in 6-12 months. If you want to make a fully fledged RPG with no coding experience, much more time.
