Hello, I'm working on a game currently and the game had placeholder icons(I'm a second coder) I made my own icons(Which personally aren't bad) and seeing my own work really gives me an encouragement to keep working on the game. I am wondering, what helps people work on their game, good original code or icons.
Also I want your opinion on Place Holder icons, I have experience with them and its not pretty(Finished game, too many icons, didn't want to work more so I deleted game files out of frustration).

What do you mean by helps people work on their game? Inspiration maybe?
|
Knowing that there are other people who are interested in its progress and are looking forward to seeing it.
(Even if they aren't aware that it exists yet.) | |
What tends to help me is having an iterative process. I need a light at the end of a tunnel when I'm writing code or else I'll get discouraged (or end up with questionable experiments ). Once there is a proper environment to test game mechanics in, I'm usually fine.
Creating mock-ups with the new skin functionality might help too, but it's too early for me to tell. | |
I try to make all my icons done first, so then I can just focus on the programming. Also, it helps with testing when all your icons are complete.
