Summary:

Digital Game Development Doc, and project planner. Designed to help indie game developers plan out their games, and to maintain a blog with updates from the planner software. Designed for autistic brains.

Today we will ask ChatGPT to work up a schedule, and estimate how long it will take to complete the project.

🗓️ Step 2: Schedule — 2 hours per session, Tuesday & Thursday only

89 hours ÷ 4 hrs/week = 22.25 weeks (≈ 5½ months)

2 sessions/week = 4 hours/week

📅 Step 3: Weekly Plan (Condensed Summary)

🏁 Step 4: Project End Date

If you start Tuesday, October 29, 2025,
and work every Tuesday & Thursday (2 hrs each) consistently:

  • You’d finish around Thursday, April 9, 2026. 🗓️


✨ Optional Extras (After MVP)

If you finish early or want to extend:

  • 📊 Analytics dashboard (progress charts)
  • 🧭 Achievement tracking system
  • 🎨 Custom theme creator
