[ for god (or whatever stupid shit you believe in) if you call me "anything" like emo or shit after this topic, I swear to (that same thing that you believed in previously) that you'll pay for it. ]
Why?
I'm going to enroll in DreamBuildPlay competition but I can't force myself to work on my tetris game in order to learn XNA and then make my game for the competition.
My question is, why do you think is that, why me that all of my love is about games and making them, is postponing working on my games? why I'm being lazy and doing other stuff when my mind is always with the game itself? Why? this dreamBuildPlay is very very good opportunity for me for alot of reasons but I still like don't care but whenever I'm talking about it with friends, I'm so high tempered and happy about it, I see it (and whole indie-ism) as a future for me but when it comes to actually working on them or actually reading stuff or in general, actually working on something that I say I love, I fail and I'll be doing stuff that I don't really mention rather than things that I always say I love.
I have this problem with learning Japanese too, I have posted alot of posts about how to learn Japanese and found alot of stuff for it but I don't actually read them.
why.
I know its not uncommon in indie's and would love to know what helped them to force themselves on their work, since in indie's, atleast most of the time, there is no boss to force you to release something and there is much higher chance procrastination.
I was reading some interviews with some of folks that got good games on Community Games (namely Johnny Biscuit Romp Platform or something like this) that I was amazed! he was like spending 3 days on making a DS homebrew and 6 days on porting it to CG ! I spent 9 months on a platformer engine with Flash and its just in version 0.14 ! and I'm a Software Engineer and he was a sophomore at that time, how the hell they are this productive?
