    I am working on the characters for a 3d PC game right now. I work about 5-10 hour days, 5-7 days a week. I should have about 20 modular characters finished in 3-ish months.

    That's an artist doing a single part of a game. It's my impression that even simple games take a year or more to create. There is a new Unity game called Ghost of a Tale. That game was made by a single guy, and I believe it took him around five years ,although it is not a simple game.

    Look around, you can probably find some "post mortem" articles for plenty of mobile games made with unity.

    I did design, art, sound and programming fora tiny game in a weekend ( https://www.kongregate.com/games/jnamobile/vibre if you have a browser that still plays Unity web player games), and I've spent hundreds of hours on games that are nowhere near released.

    A triple A game might have 500,000 man hours in it.
