chat gpt knows what agdg means.
Why AGDG says it takes years:
They’re thinking “full engine” or “complete game”:
Includes physics, AI, scripting, multiplayer, UI, tools, modding support, optimization, etc.
They're often comparing themselves to Unity/Unreal or building all tech from scratch.
Solo Development with Big Ambitions:
Many AGDG devs over-scope and underestimate polish time.
"Basic 2.5D engine" might actually mean "Doom clone with all features, tools, and mod support."
Different Skill Levels:
Not everyone is experienced with OpenGL or even Python.
They might need months just to learn rendering basics or math for raycasting.
Perfectionism and Burnout:
AGDG culture often leans toward making things from scratch “the right way,” which burns time fast.
There’s also a meme of “never finishing anything,” which contributes to the perception that it takes years.
