Time
When the game is over

How much time do I need?
For this, let’s dive into my personal life and what do we see in terms of free time to work on the game Signal From The Stars?
Virtually no time… Since I ‘just’ have a job and a family. The days that I can work on the game are therefore limited to the weekend and sometimes in the evening.
On the other hand, you want to make something as quickly and as well as possible. This makes you make choices and only focus on what is really needed in the game. And I also deliberately leave out some things that I might have wanted to make.
2026
See here the current status.
Since I have already written previous engines in other programming languages, I can reuse some parts of them.
When I think about all the things that still need to be done until something that looks like a final product, it would take +/- 2 years if I worked on it 6 hours a day.
But because I can only work on the game occasionally and by making optimal use of third-party modules, I think the game will be ready sometime in 2026. And by that I mean for the Window & Mac platform. Completely done with bug fixes and other platforms will probably be 2027.
Family
I realize that the time I invest in this does not go to other things, for example my family. This is a selfish choice, which I of course made in consultation. That is why I want to keep the impact minimal so that I do not regret anything later.
