I am just being buy TGE and try to build game.
But I wonder ,How long to finished your game (good enogh for sell) and your team size?
for FTS, Racing,RPG, RTS.


I don't know about C++ or TGE before.
I don't sure if I spend 1 year I will can finished a game or not.
If not, maybe I share a time to make money between I make a game.

Thanks a lots
Nutthawut.

It depends on the scope and complexity of the game. Without knowing what you have in mind the answer is anywhere from a month to about 3 years. Also, I don't think this is really a marketing question.

Sure you can make "a game" in a year. At my dayjob I sometimes have to produce "games" in less then a week. But those are vey simple flash games :)
So like Shiraz said, it depends on the scope/complexity. If you start really small and simple you might get something done. What experience do you have? It seems like you don't have much experience, but I could be wrong offcourse. If you don't, then I suggest you start VERY small and simple, something you don't need a team for. Or join a team and learn from it.
And yes... wrong forum

I made a simple RPG for SSI (back in the day) - took about two years, with a single person full time, and four part-timers. Me (full time): Programmer, designer. Part timers: One writer, two artists, and a musician.

Sawasdee Krub, Nutthawut.

Welcome to Torque world ;)

About your question, As everyone said, It depending on your project size. It's can varies from 4 months to 4 years. And I agree, start with small and simple game. Torque is fun to learn.

Oh, I have some questions.
1) Are you full-time game developers ?
2) Did your company make game use in Torque ?

Now, I'm living Vancouver, How many game development companies in here use Torque?

I'm a programmer, 3D Model Maker.
I don't know can I find a job in Vancouver.

Thanks.
