Creatoholic

Posted by Nilz on Sept. 28, 2006, 2:58 p.m.

Hello again! long ago last time I wrote something here, must have been on my birthday or something.

I think I am a complete miserable man.

What ever I try to create I cant complete, its been like this all my life…why? Can someone tell me why? Everytime I start something something new comes up.

Do anyone have any kind of the same problem?

Its not only in gamemaking this painful desease strikes me, its in many different situations. I feel like over-creative or like some sort of a Creatoholic.

Can someone please tell whats wrong with me!?

Sometimes I even feel like not creating because I am thinking I will not finish it anyway, what I really need now is a really big project thats going to be completed! If not I am going to get mad…really like crazy :/

Anyone got any ideas on how to keep working and not givin up a project? I really need opinions. Been creating games some years and I havent got a single big title just a great load of minigames/examples…this sucks.

Regards

It happens to nearly everyone in the GM community. Don't sweat it too much, just try hard to get at least a demo up. Positive comments help.

I say take your time with it, I draw constantly in and out of school and I usually draw heavy and fast. The only things taht I truly appreciate are ones that I sit down and visualize and slowly bring to life. I'd say just take things at a set pace, don't worry whether it's good or not, just try to make it make you happy and feel that it's worth finishing.

You should try time management. If you do one thing all the time, even it's your favorite thing to do, you will get sick of it. (keep on doing that will make your mental health worse too)

This is what some people called, "down time". It's OK to have this. You should go outside, go watch movie, play other's games, etc. Recreation is neccessary.

Make a game that you think can be done somewhat easily, but still use vector graphics to make it appealing. This dot game that followed the mouse with moving objects was somewhat addicting besides using only back solids and a white ball.
