Rotghroth Rhapsody Prince of Kitties Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just wondering - for those of you who have created complete BoE scenarios of any length, about how many hours did it take? For how big a scenario? (Because I've on-and-off tried to start on a simple scenario in my spare time, and found the time consumption factor offputtingly huge. How did you people manage it in the Olden Days?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The first scenario I finished took 48 seconds from conception to completion, I believe. Unfortunately it got libelously labeled as a "utility" scenario. The other two I finished are also extremely short. Between planning, stringing together nodes, drawing maps, writing text, etc., they each took a couple days of solid work, IIRC, but I usually don't RC, unfortunately.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 For both my scenarios, they took about a month on and off. One was terrible, one was less terrible. I have scenarios I have been doing on and off (mostly off) since 2010, though. It really helps if you plan everything first on paper, then implement it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 forever Roots has 10 towns, no outdoors and took me maybe a solid month of work to make a fully playable beta version, plus a couple of weeks after that for betatesting and bug fixes.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's deceptively time consuming. You can spend hours working on a single piece of dialogue, for instance, and wind up completely rewritting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Less time for BoE than for BoA, but still a long time. Depends on how ambitious you are, too; complex noding can take a lot longer, or serious engine retinkering. (These things can actually be faster in BoA.)
