I hate this...

Throuout my GM life(1.5 years) I have made 1 game, and it wasnt even a full game, just an arcade game. In total Ive started 7 games, now I fear Ill quit on Kill All Noobs. Once I finish with a base of a game and start on level design/visual stuff I get bored with it. This is the point which Im at in Kill All Noobs. I havent worked on it in a few days and Im coming up with ideas for new games already, just like the previous times. Maybe Ill restart on some of my older games, maybe recode them to bring them up to par with my present coding skills. Any ideas on what to do?

Peppy! Urge to kill… rising…

Many more projects will be started than finished, it's a fact of being a hobbyist developer. For instance, I've completed 20 games, but started on over 100.

Maybe once I get bored with my old games again Ill come back to Kill All Noobs, hopefully 1 day Ill finish something.

But all of them seem so good, it feels bad to quit on them…

Kaz, happens to me too. and I have almost 3 years with GM, and I've released only 2 games, and they were pretty crappy, one an stupid pacman and another an edit of the maze tutorial.

This is experience for you, if you don't finish a game you still have the experience doign it, and experience is invaluable.

Kill All Noobs had really bad collision detection. SCRAP IT!
