Clarifier: as a personal project--I assume there are at least a few industry folk on here.
The project I've been working on has something like 15k lines of code between actual game code and supporting code (tests, cicd, etc), and roughly ~200 unity scenes blocked out with temp art and roughed in cutscenes. How about you all?
Not a game, but an (unfinished) application I'd been working on in the past (I don't work on it much these days because the slog feels endless and it's no longer as much fun as it was before) has around 17k lines across several (perhaps 30 to 40) files, not including the libraries that I wrote to try and modularize parts of it. If I had to guess the total count it'd be around 20k, with probably 25k or so at its peak.
Nowadays anything longer than 5k and I'm bowing out. That's entering full-time project territory and I already have a day job for that. It's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but if I were to get back into making games, it'd be the smaller ones - unless I have a really good reason to make a bigger one.

My current game project. Even though it's still pretty early in development it's already my biggest game and it will keep on growing.
Look at him spin
I have made Dunmakia kingdom (adult)

took lots of time but the steam stuff is not that hard to figure out
Not worked in the Industry but I am working on a larger project and I'm honestly surprised I haven't dropped this project. For this one I am working on a Megaman Type game that's a mix of Megaman's gunplay and zero's sword play + melee combos.
The player having thrust attacks, slash attacks, multi-hit moves, etc.
Any big project so far I've worked on I tossed in the trash because of my lack of knowledge bringing down the game experience. As of right now mostly studying other platformers to get a feel for the genres and even playing some old Megaman X games to get a feel for them.
I guess I would count the Digital Tabletop System I have been working on as well as a big project; effectively trying to make a digital tabletop book with useful tools the players can use to help break down the complex and make it all around more fun.

I know how that feels. The only reason I can manage the scale of the game I'm working on is because I have a degree in software engineering, which is all about handling software systems at scale. Otherwise I'd be up a creek, lol.
I made a flash like fighting game called Vecho Fights its here on newgrounds and itchio
A Pico game in Flash 3/4, lost the files to it a while back.

This scratch game that I spent 10 months on and had to get a more powerful computer to keep coding on it as it got to a point where it was unbeliviably slow to code on my laptop due to the file size. The game I'm making currently's probably going to take over that title.
