So my problem is that I can’t stay committed to one project for more than a day.
It starts with “Wow, I have some idea”, I create an empty project, work on it for a few hours, and then quit. I keep repeating this pattern.
I just want to finish something.
I used to (and sometimes still do honestly) suffer from this. What I’ve found helped me actually get finished projects out the door was participating in game jams. Really short ones, mind you. No more than 3-4 days.
It not only forces you to stick with one idea, since you’ve no time to switch to a different one, but the timescale is short enough where you can see the game come together relatively quickly.
The due date, I think, is what helped me the most. Having a date and time when the game was due, almost like some kind of homework assignment, really helped push me to the finish line.
I have only participated in one game jam in my life, and it was a fun experience. The game I created was buggy and looked like a child drew it, but in that moment, I felt the best I have ever felt.
I will give it another try.
Thanks for the help, and good luck with your next game jam.
