 Oh. My. Fucking. Job. "!". I just spent 2 solid weeks with 99% of my waking time and attention there, including 3 call-ins and a double-shift. Hence my conspicuously prolonged absence. Not only was it exhausting and highly time consuming, I kinda lost my place on what specifically I was working on. Then idiot me went to level-test, only to find that 250-300 objects (in GM) were all created assuming direction 90 = down. FAIL'T. But on the plus side, reverse-gravity works great for a change!

WALKCYCLES. And sometimes motivation and lack of inspiration.

Working on the database through iteration when I've already played the game for the millionth time, or refining subtle but critical story elements when I can't seem to get into a creative and empathetic mood.

Coding.
I love coding, except when i'm actually doing it, I start hating it. And when I stop coding, I immediately start loving it again. It may have to do with my "Want to know everything/Don't want to learn anything" lifestyle.
I'm a failure in some way.

I can say that the temptation is a very big obstacle. Agreed. But there's also that you might start thinking the current idea's stupid. Coding.

It may have to do with my "Want to know everything/Don't want to learn anything" lifestyle. In all my life, I have noticed this as the numero uno to overcome. I applaud ye who get their nose to the grindstone. |

Sometimes I'd just rather read a book or watch cartoons.

Art. My lack of an ability to draw has canceled dozens of projects I've had ideas for.

I have almost as much technical idealism as game design idealism. Consequently, I get sidetracked by frustrations with core technologies that I consider bad.

The sprites, I usually don't even start the coding. I do get some games playable, but they're usually like 8bit and since I am a shitty programmer I know people won't like my games unless I give my all into the aesthetics. So then I make like 1 sprite, which takes 2 hours, then I go "well fuck this, I don't have that kind of time" and storm off to do homework or play CoD.
Compounding this is the problem that I get really inspired to make a particular sprite, then when I try to make more sprites they're only about 50% as good.

Work keeps me from finishing, because I'm too tired to wrap my head around the coding after.  |
