    How long did the game Minecraft take to develop from it's inception until it's first platform was released? It seems like a pretty intricate game. I've always wondered how long the developmental process is for these types of building games are.

    He started it in around 2010-2011 so that should give you an idea, I wouldn't say it is intricate.

    It's more massive than intricate, intricate means detailed and complicated. From a programmers perspective I would say that it's not too complex however he has clearly used data structures cleverly. It's not detailed either.

    And it doesn't need to be either of those things, it's a great game anyway and that's all that matters.

    Well, the game launched in 2009 so I'd say it was in the works for at least a couple of years before. It's not that easy to make a game like this, but they started out small and added features after.
