A question to those who have completed creating their game(s). At some point in the process, at least for me, there is a big question slapping me in the face. "Is this game fun?" Storyline & functionality aside, is the game fun? And in the beginning, you assume it would be fun. The story is interesting and the ideas you have for features are also interesting. Then you put it down in the project and I can't tell if it's just because it's fun in my head not in reality or I am just tired of working on the game so it's not fun anymore. Either way, at this point I usually stop myself from continuing because I will convince myself that the project isn't worth it and I've wasted my time...then moved on to the next idea. 

 

I am assuming you get hit with the same questions. How do you either push through this and complete the game? Or do you just spend a large amount of time designing the game first, seeing there that the game isn't fun and the above scenario doesn't happen to you? I'm doing something wrong and I'm just trying to figure it out. Because I have these ideas I think are fun and interesting but always end up with the "cycle" in the first paragraph. Is it a question of staying motivated or having everything documented so if you just complete the list your game will be done regardless of your brain telling you to give up and start on another idea?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
