That's a lot of time investment. Certainly something I can't reasonably do within a couple of years.Many people, including myself, like to do design as a recreative activity. It tickles my mind, it allows me to come up with things I like to play, it improves my actual play. Maybe that's why I don't see myself actually publishing anything anytime soon, though a couple of my ideas seem worthwhile to pursue.
It's the same with my music, really. I've been making songs on the computer since 1996 (on my Amiga), and many of them turn out good enough to share or listen to. But they're not worthwhile selling; I can't find hundreds of hours for mixing, editing, fine tuning, etc.
I'm an ideas person, not a details person, and I only have so much time to work on the details of anything. So I guess I save that time up for my writing.
I still do the other creative things for fun, though. And maybe some idea I throw out somewhere sparks something else, and that alone makes it worthwhile for me.
