Since a few days I seem to be sick or something similar. I wanted to work on my game and write into my blog and I wanted to do alot of other things at home, but I always was too tired to even think properly I don’t even know where it’s coming from and what to do about it…it’s really annoying.
The only thing I know is, that it has nothing to do with motivation, maybe I’m having some kind of burn-out?
Sometimes I wished, I would have started this way earlier, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to dwell in “what could have been” or “what ifs” in general.
Hm…now that I think about it, it’s possible that I did indeed got a little bit stuck, because every time I thought about my game, I felt like I’m a bit aimless. Because I have not really defined what exactly my next goal is.
Additionally I feel overwhelmed everytime I’m thinking about making the action bar, since I really don’t know where to approach it from. Interestingly, I was reading about this issue regarding Indie Game development (or any kind of self determined work) that it usually means, that I have not split my tasks into small enough chewable pieces. Because all the overwhelmedness comes from not being able to see how much I need to do to reach my goal.
Oh yeah! That makes alot of sense!
Hah π Thanks Blog for making me write down my thoughts and come to some kind of revelation XD
I guess I have to go through my plans again and see where I can break down goals into smaller ones π
I have felt the same way during development of I project I had, without a goal,or plans or anything I burned myself out.
I but that one on a hiatus for a much simpler project.
Anyway best of luck with your game development.

it’s also feeling alot easier to just abandon an unfinished project for some “new great idea” instead of continuing the old.

There’s that, but I was more like,”I’ve worked on this for 2 years and I still didn’t get far, or anywhere for that matter. Might as well make a way simpler game.”

Nah. I decided to at least make a demo of my current project before I get back to slightly work on the bigger game.
