I assume you mean 3 months of full time work? I think stretching this timeline if you have a day job is acceptable.
If you can't make a “first playable” in 3 months you need to scale down your #gamedesign or the game will never launch
You are planning to launch right?

In that case the timeline is even more important. But having something work doesn't mean a finished product, but it means a playable "thing" demonstrating the core mechanics your want. Demotivation lurks behind long schedules with no product.

As a game developer, I can honestly say, no, many of us don't plan to launch ... we make games for other reasons (try out a new technology, experiment with a technique or art style, etc.) But yeah I try to launch these as small/experimental games. Shipping is a skill too.

I'm making a game in 1 week so in 3 months the game should have a steam version, right?
-
It might. I have only been indirectly part of shipping a game to steam. Make a game in one week - that sounds more like game games or hyper casual games. Those are also great.pic.twitter.com/AAGl8iDh1i

Meh. I think Soulash was first playable after a year, it was launched as alpha after 2 years and it's progressing toward a second launch just fine ;) Sometimes you need to find the fun in the game, after 3 months you might have a prototype to confirm some things and scrap others

Thank you for being an exception. I wouldn't be able to do that. Atleast not without a team of passionate people around me.pic.twitter.com/wBDuWRjidA

Fully online groups or people who work on this in their sparetime might work much slower than you imagine.

I'm sure they will. That doesn't change that most projects that can't be played fairly quick end up getting stuck before reaching a release candidate. Now you should be able to find plenty of survivor biased success stories out there. Most failed projects won't be easy to find
