The last 7 days have been busy with IRL things. Even though the weather cooled down and I could get on my main I had an entirely different project to work on there. Plus I could do that magical thing known as "TOUCH GRASS" without bursting into flames!
I haven't touched the Big Harold Game at all in almost two weeks. This is a problem.
I have a terrible problem. A horrible, no good problem. It's a very frustrating problem.
I get excited about a project and go all in for a while, then, when I *CAN'T* work on it I loose steam and stop caring as much about the project. Then if I can't recapture the excitement I tend to forget abut the project entirely.
I know that about my self, so that's partly WHY I decided to write these devlogs. Once a week I had to remind my self that something I've been dreaming of doing for years now is within my skill set: A little complete RPG.
But here, after the first crushing heat wave has passed, and with so much to catch up on that isn't game making, I'm loosing that drive I had before. I do not want to let that happen this time. The Devlogs are helping, but over the last week I've thought more about what I wanted to say in this log than the game.
I do have the materials to make a paper Game Design Document, and I think I will be starting that tomorrow, but I don't know if that alone will be enough.
So what d you guys do when that inner spark, if you will, starts to sputter out early? How do you keep it kindled?
I know Harold wouldn't give up, so I can't either, but it's hard sometimes to keep the dream alive!
