[casual_games] Gameplay duration

[Eric Trudel]

Hello guys, 

We are doing a racing game with a career and quick race modes. I was told by
others in the industry that in the casual game market, portals and customer
where looking for a certain quantity of gameplay hours out of their games;
10 to 20 hours where what I was told to aim for. 

 

I was wondering on how to calculate that gameplay duration. For example, is
it only the career mode that counts? Does the quick race mode count even
though only the maps and vehicles unlocked during the career are present? Do
we allow time for level retry because of unmet goals? 

 

Any knowledge links and ideas are welcome on the subject. 

 

Thanks. 

 

Eric Trudel
