What drives you to create?

[amerk 1,122]

What drives me to create? The very thing that has driven me away for quite awhile: Time.

 

Just don't have enough of it between full time work, family matters that involve psychotic relatives, and so much else that can go wrong in life. And when I sit down with an hour to spare, I feel more inclined to play a game than make one.

 

Maybe things will change, because I keep playing all kinds of ideas in my mind.

What keeps me going?

 

My supporters, and the will to tell stories to the world.

I personally look into the story as the most important part of the game. I've been drafting and expanding on the simple story of a boy called Jerry saving his damsel in distress for literally a year now, but now, my story is of a matured and mysterious figure who is helped back into reality by his 10 year old son. It's that change from a hero to a broken man that makes me question, why? How? How did this happen? I just dig and dig until the story is finally complete. It's stories like this that keep me going, because stories are to give an audience a piece of yourself that will stick with them forever. But also, you can't have a bored idea. Don't bore and hide your ideas away. It's rude.

And my supporters, obviously. I keep them in my heart forever! They are literally stabbing my back telling me to stop procrastinating and get on with the work!xD

As a kid I always wondered how a videogame was created: How could a person create a world inside a cartridge? Then I became curious, then interested, then driven to create something.

That drive to create something came to me as a love of writing fiction ( not fanfiction) and what ifs like turning my room into a dungeon or looking a little girl and aboy walking trough a dark forest.

I could say that what drives me to create is my way to found things around me able to be something else or part of something bigger.
