Unironically, no joke, after consideration and self-reflection, I have decided that the best thing for my creative/workflow/commitment problems is to spend EVEN MOAR hours a day playing videogames than I normally do. (Micro-thread)

besides itch and occasionally here where are people doing game jams at y'all? (plz do not cross reference this with my previous status lol)
I really lack discipline and find myself far too often giving into or at least seriously considering the temptation to start a new project rather than following through on a WIP that's no longer a shiny and new idea.
Does anyone have any strategies or tricks for making themselves follow through with things instead of doing this? Like that actually work?
no, not my duct tape, anything but my duct tape!
"I knew a thing or two/
Until the time/
Strange outer forces wasted/
My tiny mind"
so like, I won't be shocked if I later regret asking this but uh...what even is "gacha"?
plz dont take my medal away
is it against the rules to ask about gamedev tools/engines unrelated to anything made by Degica?
I wish my strengths lay in creating resources, not in using resources created by others to cobble together games, I have a feeling there's WAY more money to be made around RPG Maker creating resources for gam mak than actually doing the mak-ing.
Pictured in my new avatar: Science. With a capital S.
Renaming my project and realigning its aesthetics and story elements to be less of a fangame and less retro and more stand alone and (slightly) more hifi, mainly the audio.
has anyone else ever put a ton of effort & thought & work into a game (or whatever, it can be any creative work) and released it only to see it get completely ignored and felt absolutely discouraged and hopeless that you put all that time into something no one wanted to play/read/watch/look at? and how do you deal with these deeply hurt feelings and keep the will to make things at all?
i have not sleeped in 38 hours because i have been gammaking continuously for that time to make my entry for retro jam in time SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK we don't need it the necessitof human sleep is a lie made up by mattress companies to sell pillows *COLLAPSES INTO COMA*
y
for the first time in the--holy crap, 4000 hours???-steam tells me I've been using MV, I actually wrote a line of javascript that fixed a problem I was having with a problem w/o breaking anythin/everything else. To paraphrase Rick & Morty, I feel like Stephen ****ing Hawkingson.
I don't think I can handle using the real SNES resolution of 512x448 because resizing absolutely every interface element I had on hand by painstaking trial & error/guess and check (is there any other way?) is KILLING me.
anyone else 'round here gonna be doing the retro game jam that's starting in a few days on itch.io?
trying to figure my way around the basic functions of Construct 3 and OH GOD MY BRAIN. I'm starting to think that developing decades of RPG Maker skills might have a downside.
you ever wanna make a game w/ just like, LITERALLY one type of equipment? like, ***** you player, you got a HAT slot, make it work!
Related to previous status: please give me throwaway game ideas for the LEAST ambitious project you can imagine, if you have any. Like the lowest hanging fruit of making a game.
TERRIBLE circumstances have forcibly separated me from my PC and thus my work on Spirit of '76. Which is frankly the least of my worries re: said terrible stuff. -

here's another RPG Maker remake idea: "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties". I'll salute to whomever does this
I won't finish it today, I only will have time to work on that next Saturday, what a shame... 
It's been a weird while. I've been so torn down that even playing video games has been something I avoided. But I shouldn't forget two things. One, I love RPG Maker for a reason. Two, only way to eat an elephant is a bite at a time.
