Go work on your game.
Right now, stop shitposting and browsing other devlogs thinking it is productive in it's own way.
It isn't.

b-b-bBut but I have hit creators block and can't write/code/draw/whatever the part of my game I am working on

Bullshit get back to work.
Work on another part of your game.
Work on another game.
Making endless side projects that are doomed to fail is better than not making anything, just remember to publish whatever crap comes out.



The internet is the modern worlds greatest resource. That isn't hyperbole, that's fact. You are currently connected to the most advanced and instant form of communication that has literally ever been invented in the entire known universe.

And what are you using it for? To make ironic jokes about dying? To look at videos of other people having sex? What?
That stuff isn't harming you but if you don't do something more, something worthwhile, something productive; it sure as hell isn't bettering you.


You're an artist goddammit. Michelangelo made better shit without the internet with a hard stone in one hand and a sharp one in the other.

You are looking at the deepest, widest, most dense library of human knowledge and understanding.


Use it.


Put on some good music and open up a development program, art, music, unity, GMstudio, whatever, as long as it makes something.
Draw something new, write something new, make, anything.

I don't think people should be shamed into producing

Leisure time is important to a healthy life

[litHermit]

While leisure time is important, an occasional kick in the ass can be just as much. Though that all boils down to how your personality deals with which approach.

tanned curky im fucking posting from my day job as it is

[Canned Turkey]

No shame, only motivation.
rj if you are already working a day job than it doesn't apply to you, never overwork yourself, always take a healthy break when you need it.

I feel there's more people who make excuses to not work on their game (myself included) than there are people who have valid reasons.

[airman4]

You got into a heat discussion with another dev ?
But yeah people must produce , it's not a bad message at all

[InfiniteStateMachine]

[Geoff Moore]

Kinda weird how few shitposts there have been since this thread... coincidence?

[voidSkipper]

But Black Dynamite, I only work on my games to procrastinate other things I should be doing!

[jamesprimate]

ugh no i just stopped 

[ShayaanKhan]

This is so true man!

Sometimes your mind lies to you that watching endless Youtube videos about your profession, or seeing other people's devlogs will be productive. It's not.

[eyeliner]

I'm posting from my job. Ha!
I don't take this indie thing too seriously yet, so... I procrastinate all I want! It's my birthright, yo!

[Josh Bossie]

Ok, ok, I'll get back to work
