How long does it take you to build a 2D mobile game demo in Unity?

I’m planning to start building a 2D mobile game in Unity and I’m trying to get a realistic idea of how long it usually takes — from coming up with the idea, planning, prototyping, and finally having a playable demo.

Not talking about a full release — just something you can test, share with friends, or use to validate the concept.

Curious how it usually goes for you:

* How long does it take from idea to playable demo?
* How do you keep the scope manageable at the beginning?
* And how do you know when the demo is “ready” to show?

Would really appreciate any thoughts or tips from your experience. I’m trying to start off right and not burn out halfway.

Need an advice on how to approach wind creation for a 2D top down

I am a beginner dev and as a personal project I am trying to make a top down strategy game. I want to create a stationary compass that will show the current direction of the wind that is constantly changing. The wind direction will either speed up or slow down the ships. How can I approach this problem? I tried to find tutorials on this subject but I can't find anything.

Any direction or advice would be helpful!
