How long do you think it takes to make decent content?

[Warpshade]

I'm probably not the best to say, considering that my best known public level is the MS's most hated, and I haven't released much, but Frozen Temple took 2 days, Srb2 City V1 took one day and Scattered Skies took 1 day too. Field of Dreams I can't say, because originally that was a corkboard wad that I tried to remodel for match. I'm trying to de-lag that though.

But overall, I'd say that for a decent end product, Time + Experience + Feedback = Epic, as feedback really does help a lot.

Yeah, getting feedback through the development process is key as well.

You people are neglecting EXEs! :<

For a decent EXE, it all depends on what you're doing, but something that takes a few lines of code and little time generally isn't acceptable. Except in the case of beta builds.

 

[SSNTails]

SMatch took four hours.

 

[Digiku]

Yeah, feedback too is instrumental. If you're not publicly beta testing your WAD, then at least share it with a small group of testers. Even the latter alone helps.
