Thanks. Yeah its just so much easier to find people with similar interests online than irl but nobody ever seems to be able to handle long distance and it's like impossible to find someone nearby even online lol.

Honestly, it depends on the game. depends on the people working on it too. theres competitions where people makes games in 2 days. the last game i was able to get finished, which was in college, took 5 months. some games take longer, i know that the one simple game im working on, if i can get around to going full into it with a coder (and probably a character artist) it would only take a couple months, like 2-3. where as the other game would take a couple years. And yeah, its not just when a level is added too. When a new feature is implemented, or when something like balancing or placement, even collision is changed. you test it. and you could be testing it for hours. it depends on how big the chance or addition is. and you basically just keep testing that same thing over and over and over again until you've gathered enough information to move forward, or fix all the problems you can find. Thats also why having a testing job is extremely boring. when you do testing for games, you don't get to choose what you test. You're told what level, and even section of a level to test, and you have to keep playing through in various ways in order to find any bugs, balance issues or if theres anything that could make it better.

I'm glad to hear that. I just haven't had much luck with relationships lately. Too much long-distance that did not work out.
