Hey guys, I just wanted to know how long did it take to program Warfare Incorporated. I'm just analyzing how much work it takes for game programmers to program a game. So if you have any idea let me know. Also if you want to post any info on how long it took for other simple iphone 2d games like Angry Birds please do.


BTW who is Scottlu, what is he?

I'd estimate that it took several months to a year to program this game, and I could say the same for other games like angrybirds. As for who scottlu is he created this game but he only did it as a hobby.

if you got right down to making a game and made it your sole purpose and goal, not to mention your experienced in creating games probably a few months at most.

if your new, then it could take a few years to make a game and perfect it

Scott took a year with his team to create the game, and another year for the ipod touch section, and 8 months for the multiplayer section
