Start to finish was about 6 months; actual hours, I would estimate 400-500 hours. I spent a good 2-3 months probably working 30-40 hours a week on it, I took a couple of months off pretty much completely in that time too. The challenge itse

I did this last year. Finally released my game in March. I have earned around £20 from it so far, not a lot but it was a very good experience. It turned out to be a really good thing to show potential employers and I managed to get a great
