Seems I'm On Vacation Again in Off Topic

I still haven't got my energy back from that cold I had a couple weeks ago. On top of that, I'm rather interested in Rift at the moment. Not a thought in my mind has gone towards game development lately, and my life feels a tad more meaningless as a result. I hope for a speedy recovery.

I'm in a different boat. I've had hundreds of ideas to implement into a game in the past couple of weeks.

I've written them down, setup the several development projects that'll be required to shape the thing into a fully functional game with supporting systems. Lined up a pixel artist I'll be paying for graphics from.

And I've made zero progress. 'Cause everytime I get a bit of free time, I always find myself doing something else. Kinda sucks.

Why we choose to do the things we do is a mystery I've yet to crack. It's interesting how little sway I notice I have over my actions when I actually care enough to try.

I've been too excited about Rift lately, but I anticipate that will pass about a week after release.

I'm being pressured to step up my job hunting efforts. I suspect that, if I do manage to land some kind of job, I'll have better motivation in general to get things done.

I thought the same thing. A year has passed since then, and I have nothing to show for it. ;)
