Right now I’m working on a project that will probably be the best game I’ve ever created. The thing is, I tend to loose interest from time to time, not having any reason to do anything on the computer. I have plenty of time to do it, I just don’t. I even had a month long break from all programming. My game has no problems, I just need to work on data management, and I’m not depressed or anything. How can I get my head in the game? Like LD 30, jazz up for some hardcore code. Any suggestions?
It happens to me sometimes… what you need is to open your IDE and just start to code and you will see that you will get some motivation to keep going
“Eh, I guess I can try”
~1 month later
“Just sold my 1,000,000,000th copy of the #1 best selling game world wide.”
You would need to sell a lot more than 1,000,000 :point:
If you are bored making the game, then what makes it fun for others? Implement a fun idea or something to get you back developing.
Made it a billion… hehe :persecutioncomplex:
It’s the fact that I didn’t want to dive into some new topics I had to use. Now, here I am an hour later, working on it. I actually learned a few things (about LibGdx and Java). I guess I was too busy worying about how hard and long it would take instead of actually programming.
This is the big hurdle, usually, for myself. I try to find something interesting in my code that will take around an hour or so to optimize that’s related to what I really have to do, then I get so sick of not having feature X that I implement it. Once I’m started on a specific piece it boosts my motivation to keep going.
