the GM Roulette

Posted by Game Fortress on Aug. 13, 2006, 4:04 p.m.

I was doing a self evaluation, and I guess up untill now I hadnt realized just HOW MANY projects I have had running at the same time. At this given moment, I have upwards on five serious games under construction, all of which will require serious labor to perfect. REEBO, Blackwater, StarDust, TCOK Wooden Whispers, Dropout, Magnetic, plus a few other smaller ideas that I havent publically released. I dont know which one I should concentrate on, and my game-making mood spins like a roulette… I never know WHICH game I really want to work on a day early. I am actually a very fast game maker- Both REEBO and Stardust have solid engines that took me only a few days each, but I can never keep my mind on one thing for more than two weeks, so I leapfrog from Idea to Idea all the time.

The reason I say this is because I was planning to fit Stardust in to take a break from the very tedious Blackwater, but then I played my demo for TCOK WW again and remembered how much I love that Idea as well. I know it is unwise to split my attention too much, but I also dont want to burn out like I did with BW by not giving myself options. I think that after I revamp my website, I will put small demos up for ALL my projects so I can start getting input on them. Comments on the screenshots DO motivate me, but comments on the actual games motivate me more. I have been holding them back because I either dont think they are demo worthy yet or Im not sure what I really want to do with them, but either way, a demo cant hurt.

Untill then, I guess I will just have to keep myself sane and finish one of my many many games.

So, just curious…. what game do you think I should work on most? (between StarDust, TCOK WW, or Blackwater?)

StarDust. Same thing happens to me. That's way I've got GM for six months and only abandoned projects. :P
