Dealing with a little bit of burnout
So, things had been going very well with the game we are creating.
Not saying things are not still going well, but I think I may have been overdoing it. I was working on the game every day for quite a while and last week, I crashed a bit. Too wiped out to think about anything game related and wishing I had more energy. But that is a different topic concerning my lazy ass getting in the gym. :)
Finding the balance between everything is getting harder. I really want to concentrate on the game, but it is hard for various reasons. 1. Lack of energy. 2. Trying to get things done with my co-authors when all three of us work at different speeds. 3. Making sure I do not ignore make girlfriend Natalie (our one year anniversary was Wednesday...GO US).
Of those three I have the hardest time with #2. I am such a control freak that it is hard for me to have to do things at other peoples pace. Not to mention I do the most work on the game and then we get together and change everything I think of. I have no problem with the last part if what we do makes it better, but the control thing is always going to be hard for me. I want to talk and discuss this quickly, and sometimes the only person I can really do that with is Eloy
chi_gobbler He has been very helpful to help me think things through. He is developing his own game and is almost done. That is awesome.
What I have learned about this is that I love the game me and my friends are making, but I am also going to want to make one by myself someday.
If I can find the energy that is. :)
