I joined a game jam, the deadline is Monday morning, and I'm not gonna make it. I'm making this devblog more because I want to get something out of my chest: I'm just very depressed, I don't feel like doing anything, and it's been that way for over a month. I tried making into game development, make some money out of it, I don't even have a regular job right now. I thought game Jams might help me with that, and they can help or you can have some fun at least, but I can't bring myself to finish anything, I lost all the files of another game that I've been working on for months, personal things going on, family stuff, I just act like a pessimistic asshole all the time.
I had like 10 days to finish a game based on the theme ''consequences'', I have the core gameplay done, but only one level ''finished'', I still have 6 more levels to go, but that means a lot of enemies and hazards that I haven't created, and I still have to make the game look good, because so far it looks ugly..
Good luck to all the other game developers out there, I know it's hard, it can be fun though. I'll try another game jam once I get better, generally better.
