I'm working a game right now that's basically just a slideshow with fancy visual effects.
I'm expecting for it to take at least 2 months to finish. I plan it to be a 5-minute game.
That's how much effort game development takes most of the time. I've been in some game jams, and the jump from making an entire game in 48hrs (will be unpolished but still an impressive feat) to creating a full-fledged, bugs-free one is extremely daunting.
Congrats to our friends from the @kde for another polished release. They set the bar very high !
