Game development time

[vjramani]

Can anyone tell me what is the average production time for a game done in Flash Mx..( ..say a 3 Level platform based game ) ?

well im no "fast coder" by any means but for me (depending on the game) i can finish the basic structure and make everything working in about a day of work, then maybe a couple more hours for all the extras (better graphics, extra levels...etc.)

Hmm.... If you want a "real" game... And you actually spend time doing things.

It'll take a good 2-3 months... FInal developement of a decent based game with action and testing including.

i was thinking of simple games...such as http://frookansflash.tripod.com/kewl_gamer.html....i havent tried a real game yet

okay.. where can I find a fully fledged, action filled, decent based game ? just so that I know how much complexity we're talking about.

Well fookan... That's not rteally an average game though... :) But I understand where you are coming from now.
