Are you in the process of building a mobile game? Do you find
it challenging to develop it? Have you ever wondered how long
it might take to make a mobile game? Do you think it is an
easy or a tedious task? These questions are tricky to figure
out, so let’s understand the complete mobile game development
process one by one. Juego

capable team, is skillful enough to build a mobile game for
its clients, meeting their specifications and deadlines. Shall
we get into a detailed picture of this process? Let’s dove into it!
Various factors decide and contribute to making the mobile
game. For example:- a complex game will take longer than a
simple game. In this way, many such steps become the deciding
factor, and these are the following:-
Game Project Assets:-
The game asset creation process is more straightforward for
mobile games than for PC games. This factor will be crucial
depending on whether the game is built for PC or mobile.
However, the assets like animation, characters, VFX, game
environment, 2D/3D models, and many such elements take time to
design, even in mobile games, depending on the complexity
involved in the design & detail process.
Team Size:-
One must be wise in selecting an appropriate number of employes in the team with expertize in the game project to be worked on. For example, your game
project might take more time if there are unskilled developers
to execute the game idea. So, to meet your expectations, the
game developers must be skilled in understanding and
implementing the game idea as per the deadline. Of course, the
number of employes plays a keen role, so too many or a few should not be the
target. Instead, the team size should be sufficient to handle
the game project.
Cost Incurred in developing a Mobile Game:-
The mobile game development cost continuously varies with the
type of game you want to develop. It depends on what game you
want to build, and prices are equally proportional. Some games
are affordable, and a few are expensive to create. AAA &
Hard-Core games are costly compared to all mobile games. Next to
these are Mid-Core games, where the costs are attached to the
game project. Casual games are less-priced compared to the
categories mentioned above. Most cheap or affordable games to
develop are Hyper-Casual games and Test Prototypes/Playable
Demos.
GamePlay:-
Various types of games are available, and every game has a
specific time for completion. Gameplay in these games has a
critical role and is one of the main deciding factors for game
completion. A game will take a long time to build when more
levels and extra features are incorporated. Conversely, one can
cut short the time if the game has fewer levels. Extended and
short play sessions also affect the time to build a mobile game.
Hence gameplay differs for every game.
Mobile Game Types:-
Some mobile games take more than 1 to 2 years, some take less
than a year, and some take only a few months to create. However,
games like ultra-casual or hyper-casual, casino-based, 2D, and
puzzle games take less time, from a few weeks to about three
months. It is possible due to the availability of the
tools.
3D action, adventurous-based, sports, and strategy-based games
take about ten to eighteen months due to the complexity of
animation, script, genres, etc.
Role-playing games (RPGs), massively multiplayer online
role-playing games (MMORPG), battle royale games, and Frames per
second (FPS) games take more than two years to build due to the
enormous graphic work, development work, planning, marketing,
and many more features.
The above factors are essential in determining the time to
build a mobile game. Before you start with the process, always
have proper planning. Let us know your queries, and get
