You're sitting there lurking on the page.
You're not commenting.You're not blogging.You're looking at the page that hasn't had activity for hours.WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU DOING?I don't mean that as an insult - what are you doing?I do mean this as an insult: IF YOU'RE NOT CREATING OR MAKING YOURSELF BETTER, YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF WORSE.I'm starting to see progress in some people being stagnant. I just want to make games with awesome people, guys and gals.Edit: If you really don't want to post, don't post. I'm trying to help. If you don't want to hear it, you can TOTES ignore me. :D
What am I doing, you say?
Mockups, not games, mind you
My updates seem to be forcing stuff to draw randomly for no good reason. FYI, there is only one green floor. It is infinitely replicating for no good reason. Wow, I didn't think I could add more bugs. It seems I created a sea of green.- Plan and make a todo list. When I have a clear goal I always seem to fall into a good productive flow, but when I'm not sure what to do next, it saps my motivation like crazy.
- Separate your work space from your relaxation space: This is hard to do if your a gamer, you get used to spending time on your computer relaxing which can be a huge block to motivation to work on games/art/writing. You might try creating another user profile on your computer just for creative endeavors and keep the desktop clear of everything but your main tools.
- Practice Focus: If you find yourself being distracted by things like television and surfing the internet, try looking at something like the Pomodoro Technique
- Schedule and Pace yourself: Staying motivated over longer periods of time is about learning how to effectively start and stop work. It's all about being able to jump out of your flow and then start up again. Before you stop for the day write down a Todo list for tomorrow.
- Lastly: take moments of reflection. Look at your own progress and think about what you have learned and what you can improve. Be pleased with your effort even if you are unhappy with the result. Consider this: "One who has failed three times has three times the experience of someone who did not start."
Of course there is a huge gap between saying and doing. It's a struggle, but with practice it gets easier. All I can say is give it your best and good luck. Hope this helps.Now I need to get back to work ;)I want to want to make games and models and art and awesome things, but my heart really hasn't been in it for years sadly. The one thing I do have a passion for currently though is climbing.
But why don't you just do it anyway? Force yourself to, then you'll remember how fun it is! And if you don't remember how fun it is, then at least you can claim you've done something on 64digits(clearly more important)!
Win-win scenario.I'll give you 3 guesses what this is.
Well yeah…
However, I was meaning for you to be a bit more specific. What is the excel document of?Still that Nintendo Nightmare thing?
I just see a chart of what mario fans turn into as they get older.
No mario fan gets past 52.And if they go to hell, they become bowser.Nope. It's a Pokedex of Mario enemies I started making on a whim.
The rows are the various evolutions. Bowser and Kamek don't have numbers yet, cause they would go at the end.EDIT: the list is growing!
