I was complaining to myself (as I often do) about how little time I get to actually make my game, and I wondered how much time the average RM user spends per day working on their project.

It's BS, really. I have a better compy here at work that at home, but I can't use RMVX because the 'net filter here at the station won't let VX validate its keycode. Sooooo...

I get around 30 minutes a day. Blerg.

I myself have varied times depending on my schedule. Sometimes I'll have as little as 20-30 minutes, sometimes I can devote hours. All depends on my workload at the time.

I'm pretty much the same as Zylos. Except I usually get 10-20 minutes.

Some days I spend a minute working on it, and other days I spend 6 hours working on it, but never in between.  I just have to be in an RPG-making mood.

Total time spent on my current project:  3 years.

I get to spend about 3 (full) days a week, but then it's not my game, and it's my job.  Doesn't make it any less fun/interesting though Wink

Less than a minute per day.

I browse the internet and forums way too often to stay focused.
That's what happened to me during summer.

A couple hours a day here and there? Sometimes I'll take a 5 minute break when some weird scripting error comes around poking it's head up. Other times, I'll spend a bit of time relaxing from work or my project at Hastings and walk out after paying for $20-$150 worth of stuff. Outside of work, I have no obligations so I spend as much time as I want on it. ^_^

I'm back...again. ^_^; Only until I actually get my arse into college for computer programming or game design ofcourse.

Well if you want to be technical like everyone else, the game I've been making (or moreso, wanting to make) has gone through many phases over the past 8 years, since essentially the day I got RM2K.  I used to spend hours a day (maybe 5-7) working on a project.  Now I spend about 1 hour a day tops working, but the quality of my work and the speed at which I produce is exponentially higher, and thus it's better than when I worked 7ish hours a day on a project.

On such a note, I'm on my 24th iteration of the menu system (obviously not all came to full fruition), and as such, I made my current menu in about 5 hours of work from having nothing to being done, not including time spent making resources.  Down from when I would spend 2-3 months on a menu.  I'm only on CBS #9, sadly, and the development of this kind of works around someone elses schedule, so I can't develop it as I would prefer.

I am currently working on a game. I have been working on this game for a year now. The game is called The Fantasmic World of Magic. I have been mainly isolated on this game. Doing my own scripts and making my own sprites, but recently wanted to see what other smart people can do.

I would say the game is about twenty percent done.  Grin

Well since I have been making my game it has been when im home from school and when I have done atleast 2 hours of school work at home for the day, then I usually just be lazy and sit on the computer so thats usually a whole night, but then again I do spend time with my friends so it depends the whats going on in the day, it varies for me but the max I have spent on it would be about 4 hours lol

As much as I wish to sit down and make the game...I can't...I'm always busy...Then when I do get the time...its basically...testing different features of the program.
