Then I realized it will probably take me a year or more to get even there when working alone. I was programming it myself and currently have got only this far that the engine/editor prototype can draw roads (2D vector graphics using OpenGL). That took me about one month (working almost every day, occasionally even 16 hours a day), counting from when I first started to learn about game engine structures, OpenGL, relearning C++ etc. Hmm... maybe that's not so bad because that was probably the least fun part of it.

Once you're familiar with the engine and the programming things will speed up. Things will also start getting repetitive because you're not learning much new stuff as in the beginning, but that's another story.
