And I'm sure you'll do a good job with the game! With any of your projects, really. Always remember this gif (it's seriously one of the most motivating things I've seen)
Well, I'm curious to see how it develops I also have an idea for a game, but I was thinking more of an adventure game/visual novel kind of thing. It's still in the very early stages, though, and I am just drowning in projects at this point Speaking of, posted the prologue to the fanfic thing yesterday. Will post the first actual part today once I type it out, since so far it's only hand-written
I plan to. My idea is still in the early stages anyway and may change over time.
It does have something that is similar in a certain way, but I don't want to go into too much detail. It's more about how actions have consequences and how even though you think you're in control, at a certain point there is no going back. But as a concept, it sounds different enough to not be the same thing. You should play it at least just to be safe, though
Kind of, I guess? My advice would be that you play it. It's short and shouldn't take a lot of your time, and it's always good to take in a lot of the medium you want to create it
I've been writing up more details for Game Developer RPG I wanted to do. That and I got inspired to work on a game that's about deconstructing and subverting the silent protagonist. Though that idea is still in the infancy phase and I want to make sure no one else has already done the idea, because I kind of get the feeling Undertale may have done a version of my idea already.
The drive isn't really something that comes easily, or even naturally, though. I kind of keep pushing it on myself because I know that if I don't, I'll just regret it later on in life. And I really do want to become a bitter old man Well, then, maybe you want to talk about your idea to get fired up about it? When you have a day off or something, you should make it a priority to work on it. Getting back into a project is the worst part, but once you get through that barrier, especially since you yourself said you do enjoy working on a project, should be smooth sailing!
You know, the annoying thing about being a former psychology major is not analyzing everything. Course I often feel people tend to embellish their problems as well and I know I can be pretty theatrical. I think ultimately, I simply feel like I'm stuck in a rut in life and frankly, I could probably get out of it pretty easily but I simply allow little things to bog me down and then my own general laid back attitude doesn't help matters. I simply need to keep working on changing my lifestyle to something I can live with. I've been thinking about how I used to have all this drive when I was younger and wondering what the hell happened to all of it. The biggest issue I have, I feel, is that I just don't have as many people around me with any real drive any more. This is the one quality I really love about you Fynn, you still have drive. As for deadlines, they rarely work for me. Unless there is some kind of serious consequence attached to it (like money or a grade) I will fret about something until I realize it's too late and simply give up instead of kicking into "burn the midnight oil" mode like I did for school. Frankly, once I actually start writing, I tend to really enjoy it. It's simply the matter of getting me to get back to it after I stop.
Hmm... it feels to me that you are dealing with issues that you could use professional help dealing with, considering how frustrating the place you're in is and how much straight up bad stuff has been happening. As for writing versus the Internet, one can help the other, honestly. Pumpkin has been setting up writing deadlines for herself and me, for which we HAVE to send each other some writing. We also give each other feedback. So not only do you get a piece written, you also get immediate feeeback
Honestly, my gaming habits are not so bad. I've probably gamed more steadily in the last six months than I have in the last six years. Even then, I've reached the point where I can't just game for four straight hours and not be exhausted by it. Of anything, my online habits are probably my real Achilles Heel. I stopped coming here for a few months and instead spent that time devouring YouTube videos, TV Tropes, and various Wikia. Even as I come back here, I find myself easily slipping back into a bad habit of hanging around on the forum, constantly checking for updates, when it's obvious nothing is actually happening. I didn't really even want to come back, I simply did so because I needed the familiarity and routine to help me cope with my anxiety and boredom from RL problems. Even now, I'm debating about leaving again cause it's been obvious that coming back was a bad move on my part, and simply a sympton of the greater problems. I wish to work on my writing, but I also feel the root issue of all of my problems is my sheer dissatisfaction for where I am in life. I need to be focusing more on my personal needs, which is what the last few months were suppose to be about but got sidetracked by family drama, emergency pet hospital days, and a new boss that doesn't see eye to eye with me.
