About how long does it take you to write a guide? It would actually be nice if you could give me an average, and the two extremes (shortest and longest).

honestgamer - May 03, 2010 (10:17 PM) Shortest for me is stuff like my Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 2 guides, where I knew the games really, really, REALLY well and wrote each of those in a day apiece. Same with Thrilla's Surfari. Longest would be guides I have done on assignment. I had one that took me most of six weeks (The Last Remnant), and an average when I'm working full-time on a guide is going to be around two weeks for a major new release. |

aschultz - May 04, 2010 (05:15 PM) I write for shorter games so I try for a week. For simple puzzlers, even a day or two to figure the mechanics. For RPGs, it can take a month. You have to look into 1) what people might do wrong the first time around and 2) a quicker way through. Plus I write maps with my RPGs, which is lots of fun and worthwhile. That takes another few days. It's just, with RPGs I know I'll be missing something & I have to replay to make sure. |
