I mean, like, obviously, you do. But is it usually the case of, when your game is finished (for all intents and purposes disregarding bugfixes and such, and also for those of you who actually have finished a game:P), "Man, I never want to have to touch that thing again", or do you actually return to it and see whether it still clicks with the same resonance as when you came up with the idea? Just wondered, I was just looking at some of the crap I've discovered on my computer, and trying to play through them wondering what the hell was going through my head at the time... It's an interesting experience.

I try to play my game. Of course there's this "one more look at this and I'm gonna puke" feeling, but it passes after taking a little break from development. After all we make games to our likings and it would be strange if we wouldn't play them. The only problem is that, every time I play my game, it ends up with an update. I just *always* see something to improve .

I do, but only after a long, long period. I'm talking years. But after a few years, I can go back and play my games for fun, yeah. I do this with my first online-released game sometimes, which I made for a contest back in 2000, and I still find it fun & addictive.

I'm hoping, in 6-36 months, I'll still have the same enthusiasm for my game that I have right now.

My friend locked me in his room and forced me to beat the final boss in Eternal Daughter for him once. I hadn't touched the game in years and it took me like 30 tries to do it. That guy is hard! (but fair )

Occasionally, I have gone back. And been punished.

I came back to Glow about two months after I finished it. It was nice, but I could see where it was lacking.

Yes, and usually I'm the only one that does.

While developing my games, I waste an awful lot of time just playing.

fun games don't interest me, i'd rather make not fun games than fun games; if a game is fun it's only by accident, and undesirable. my ideal game is something like this:

Self projection onto other things is nothing more than a delusion, it is not an exercise in perception.

i think it's identity that's actually the illusion. think of it this way: 10 years ago you had very different views, you were a very different person, all of your atoms (or almost all) were completely different, utterly different personality, and yet you expect me to believe that that person 10 years ago, and that person 10 years from now, are both the same you that exists now? that they have anything in common at all? they don't have anything in common, they're completely different people, as different from one another as i am different from you, if not more. yet why do we call the person from 10 years ago, or even the person from 10 days ago, "me"?
