Can't... Get... Motivated.

Right now, I am working on two different games:

--Kingdom
--The Epic Platformer (name indeterminate)
--Kiley in the- THREE different games, I mean.

--Kingdom
--The Epic Platformer
--Kiley in the Comp.

And so far each of them have the basic skeleton of necessary programing, but I can't get motivated to finish any of them!

--with Kingdom, I can't seem to make myself add any more characters, or even program castle collision.
--with The Epic Platformer- well, actually this one is coming along great.
--with Kiley in the Comp, I started on it months ago and haven't finished level one!  All you do is jump on a small platformer level!

Not to mention I have tons of work owed to several companies like Flaming Trout, SFP, InfiniFish I'm doing ok with, and some I don't even remember, but the owners come and ask if I'm done with something I forgot to do years ago.  Even a couple of seconds ago I agreed to beta test 3 different games.

Any tips on me focusing?  Focus is definitely my weak point  hmm

That's not what he asked for.

Sorry, I'm terrible at staying focused to.

I'm working on a bunch too, mainly because I never stop getting ideas.

I used to do that until I realized the horrible truth: My games were ALL too large. D:

I've started up again after months of being angry at the save space on Scratch  lol . But this time I'm only working on one game instead of like 5 huge games at a time.

@ Kiley: My advice is just to finish one thing at a time. I realized the hard way that working on multiple things unmotivates you to finish them.

Re: Can't... Get... Motivated.

Once I start something, I don't stop until it's finished. Except with Monster Ball. The idea just died for some reason. And I've been getting too much homework to do anything lately.

Re: Can't... Get... Motivated.

lol yeah same with me.  smile  i just started geting motivated like... today  tongue  idk, but the whole reason i stopped was because i really didn't know what to do with the games i was working on- i had no ideas for the gameplay and i didn't know how to program them. but now i have some awesome stuff, and that is why i want to continue! maybe that is the problem - you don't have any ideas for those games, or you just simply don't know how to make them  tongue

Yeah, monster ball needs a moving ball with gravity and scaling.

Easy. Just take your time, and multi-task.  big_smile  And of course, don't rush.
