how long should a game be??

Any size

However long you can make it. If you have a long story, by all means, make that story. If you have a short story, definately do not make it longer just for the sake of making it longer.

I use the "Fill one memory unit" principle.

None of my games are done until I use all available memory (without using the multiple file trick).

And they all still play out in just a couple hours to a whole afternoon tops.

Except for my first finished game, which I submitted to a Garbage Game contest.

It took about ten minutes to make, uses 0.8% of the memory, and plays out in just under 2 minutes if you are slow. It's a Puzzle Game for RPGM3.

So any length is good.

I prefer 3 feet, 2 and 3/4 inches myself.

That's a good length.

Peace.
