As Steam records how long you use a product, I now begin to see I spend too much time on it Currently at over 240 hours! That is a lot considering how long it has been out. So, anyone else surprised at how much time they actually put in to it now it's recorded on Steam? Anyone managed to beat 241 hours? I'm still amazed myself...

408 hours for me since steam started. But I also do a lot of testing and problem solving.

But I do have some maps made, so its not all work.

I would say normally in am in GG working on stuff for people, around 45 hours a week. Some classic projects that I am finishing up, also. Plus the model and scripting time is not on the books either.

244 hours, and I really haven't done anything serious as of yet. I would imagine over a couple thousand if we could track back to the beginning!

4 hours.

Ever since I naively jumped into X10, I'm more about making sure the capabilities meet my needs first. (Eventhough I'm a Gold backer) Mainly I'm still waiting on better support for custom character imports.

22 Hours, I tend to play around testing things then I sit back and think I'd like to see more features. Plus I just got an Xbox One recently so I've been playing Battlefield Hardline, Tomb Raider Definitive Collection and good old Dance Central Spotlight which makes you dance like a girl most of the time so I find it quite humiliating to play.

I see more potential in Game Guru, and I'm a little ashamed I haven't used it more as it's such a good product. However before it was on steam I played around for countless hours. I will be spending more time using GG in the future. I love the whole concept of an easy to use game creator.. which it is!

Working directly with GG, really not many time, since I'm trying to model any decent meshes, and learning from all you.
Let's say that I'm preparing for the next coming.
Only work with, when I want to test a model, or try any script.
Althought lately I'm most time, working in the level comp.

I'm always testing things, new features, not really doing anything serious, just getting comfortable with things as they change. A lot of the time logged, however, is probably due to GG being open on my computer while I'm away doing other things. I don't shut down my computer unless I plan on being away for more than a couple hours.

Some serious hours put in here, if we added em all up lol!

I can see lots of people put in a similar amount of time to me, and of course higher in a few cases! I haven't put as much time in as I did a few months back, but I still use it a lot. I haven't put in much time since the new interface was put in yet though as I'm not as keen on it. The removal of the right mouse button for me turns it from a nice easy editor I can use with one hand while say, watching telly, to a much more awkward two handed experience. I like the 3D view, but in fairness I would only use it about 25% of the time, just if I want to check things out up close. I am still not sure why the right button had to be removed for overhead mode. I would have opted for a middle mouse button 3D view myself, to keep stuff easy to use.

Nice to see so many people using Game Guru so much though!

I've only added about 10hrs in a month. This is mainly because I'm working on another game project, nothing to do with GG though I'm afraid.

GG is still the best it's just the other project uses another engine.

steam said 87 hrs but most of the time i wasn't connected to steam so it could be over 200 hrs... my last login in steam was 2 weeks ago but since then i had a working free week were i was in GG like all the time. my addiction / motivation went down a little until i read that i won 100$ then i raised up again. before it could lower again i saw the free DLC window.

I have the GameGuru exe shortcut on my desktop, so, I very rarely open Steam to use it. I only open Steam every once in a while to let things update or to play a game. So, my usage shows very little. Only around 37 hours on record!

It's a LOT more than that, ask my wife! Actually, don't, it's a sore subject.........

I've not had as much time as normal to use GG of late but I'm up to around 362 hours at the moment. Mostly the latest competition, scripting work for modern merchants and another little project I am working on.

Says 12 hours which seems about right. I used to use FPSC Reloaded for at least 3 to 4 hours a day everyday. But since Game Guru its been fairly low, as I'm still struggling with using the widget. I have poor eye sight and its still far too small for me.

A couple of hundred steam hours and so far I have just been trying to learn.

The more you learn you find better ways to do things, so I seem to be starting all over again frequently. Part of the learning process I guess.

LOL steam has once again deleted all of my achievements and all hours i spent in GG are reset to zero. LOL. this is not the first time it happens. i purchased metro2033 and the game was deleted for three times, i have stopped playing it because every time i have to start from scratch when i start metro 2033. oh i just see, when i would like to play metro i would have to install it first. again i can't take this serious. sorry, steam is a joke for me.
so i just spent 3 hours in GG last night and that's all :p
