While operating a game development tool during the design of the game, the number of actions taken using the game development tool are counted for a plurality of time frames.

Other time frames, in which the number of actions fails to meet the threshold, do not have their time frame durations added to the value of the total developer time. A higher quality rating corresponds to longer total developer time.
