Have you ever been working on a project so long past the date you thought you'd finish it that you just wanted to drop an F-Bomb and walk away from it? I keep having the urge to do just that on my very first title, 'The Passafist'. I got RPG Maker almost 2 years ago now, in September 2014 and I thought I would whip out this game to learn my way around the engine before I started in on my masterpieces. My rules for it were: If I didn't make it, or it wasn't included in the RTP, it wasn't going into my game, and I thought I would have it done in a week. I had a lot of bad reasons/ justifications for these arbitrary and limiting rules, but I blew way past my 1 week mark and I am now wanting to just put it down and walk away. The problem is, I can't. I have had some good feedback on my game despite these drawbacks (from the Internet! *gasp*) and I was told some more backstory would be appreciated. So I started adding backstory. Then I personally wanted more content, so I added more content. Then I realized a couple of ideas absolutely needed a script to work, so I added (just a few) scripts. Now I need to just finish what I have and stop implementing new ideas before I finish with the old and reaching burnout. I keep making more work for myself and then I think about what needs done and I just want to quit! I'm sure you know that feeling too. Don't let it take you down and persevere. It might take a bit, but you can push yourself over that hump and motivation will come flooding back. I like to keep a notebook of things that need to be done, and I work on 2-3 games at any point so when I feel bored with one game, I can start implementing the ideas into another.

Sometimes, I'm really naughty and I sit down with pile of steam games and wile away some time...

Otherwise, work is going nicely on my titles, both public and secret. I am working hard to have a christmas themed demo (at least) game ready by December, and a trailer for said game hopefully ready by next month. We'll see. I always bite of more than I can chew.

How about you? Do you have any games in the pipeline for the holidays? Do you make more work for yourself than neccessary?
