Skill Development Timeline
Most people underestimate how long it takes to build commercially viable games. Here's what realistic progression looks like.
Foundation Building
You'll spend these early months understanding player psychology and basic game loops. Don't expect to create anything revolutionary yet – focus on absorbing patterns that work consistently across different genres.
Practical Application
This is where theory meets reality. You'll build several small prototypes, learning why some ideas work better on paper than in practice. Expect plenty of iterations and redesigns.
Professional Polish
By this stage, you'll understand the difference between a working game and a marketable product. Focus shifts to user testing, monetization strategies, and preparing for app store submission.
Market Entry
Most developers are ready to launch their first commercial project around this time. You'll have the technical skills and market understanding to create games that have genuine potential in today's competitive landscape.
