Good morning everyone,

My name is Dean, I'm 25 this year and the founder of Greenlight Games:
www.greenlightgames.co.uk

This Friday I have my graduation ceremony from University, I've also got an awards night for the 'Young Startup Talent' competition I entered as Greenlight Games, I have to exhibit GG on a stand Monday night as part of this. Winner from the final 5 will be announced on the night, prize is worth £50,000.

GG are mainly working on a PC/Xbox Project 'GOMBIES', which can be found at www.gombies.co.uk - Progressing towards a Demo, it's getting there..slowly. You can see the whole team on the About Us Page under the GG website.



So why am I telling you all this? Because I feel I'm stuck in a loophole. I currently work a 9-5 job and will do until I can afford to work full time for GG, so I'm getting home saying hello to my fiancé then going to my office to work on games.
I come up with lots of ideas, I create lots of small projects..but never finish one? They go stale, I lose interest or make the game to complicated.

I love making games, it's great fun..I enjoy programming. But not releasing anything is disheartening and also looks bad for my Indie Studio.

So I'm reaching out, sharing my issues..looking for feedback. What do you think? Are you or have you had the same issues? Any advice for me? I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
So the idea is to create a blog I post to every day or every other day, discuss life, GG & progress. Should I do it? If I do should I place it directly on the GG website?

If you made it this far, thank you so much for your time.

Keep up the hard work dude you can make this work! Just takes time and effort, even a bad game released can return useful feedback that you can use to better your self... One day it'l happen
