It's been my dream to make my own game for a long time. I've started many projects now, but rarely get very far. My problem is that I get easily overwhelmed. One day I'll be feeling super motivated and putting in a lot of work, and then the next day all my motivation will be gone. Now that's partially due to me currently going through some depression, but it's also due to me feeling like any work I put in to my game is futile because I'll never be able to get through the stuff that's more difficult for me (such as battle mechanics, dialogue writing, and art). I think it would be very beneficial if I had a team to help me, but I've never been good at reaching out to people.
To anyone who has completed projects, how did you get yourself to continue on through the hard times?
