- Burnout, we've all been there. We start a new project and motivation is at an all time high, but then it happens. Your motivation dwindles and your game is left collecting dust. Burnout is responsible for so many developers giving up on their dreams, so I'm going to share with you my 3 tips so you don't end up just like them.

"I can do that almost everyday ", I felt that...
Congrats on the puppy… oh and the wedding I guess
Yeah the puppy is definitely cooler
A cheeky trick I learned somewhere was to leave some task just barely unfinished when leaving the project for the day. That way, you have an easy entry into it the next day you get started again because you can just continue where you left off. The original advice was in context of writing a paper where you'd leave a sentence unfinished but I found that just hacking together the function definition for a new thing + a TODO comment also work wonders in coding!
You're back man! Super stoked about this project and was hoping you hadn't given up. I'm a game developer myself and I know how hard it can be to keep motivation for a project. You're doing great stuff!
The biggest challenge for solo DEV: **Motivation**
"Getting out of bed? I can do that every day!"
Me, to my Depression: "So it seems we meet again."
Spent one month on a project, i was on it literally everyday for like 8 hours. I put it on the shelf for months now im back into my project. Burnout is super real and can be debilitating.
Good thing about it though was i didnt stop gaming or stop thinking about my project, i kept writing my ideas down and watching videos about game dev. I just needed a break from what i was doing and now i have a different perspective on everything simply due to being absent for so long. You can turn burnout into a good thing
Got probably 1600h into my game, don't know if its because im a very technical person with lots of previous experience in 3D Modeling, Texturing etc. But i already got Basebuilding, all Weapon Mechanics, 16 Guns, a full fledged homemade Inventory system, crafting system, gathering system, movement system, farming system and even Vehicles, AI, Dedicated sever and so much more established without using assets. Fully multiplayer replicated for up to 60 players in a open world map. I always see videos like this and im like, either people are slow or i am fast. Thats progress of like 7 months.
1600h in 7 months? That's more than a fulltime job!
Got any vids or something for your game?
Your back! You are my favorite devloger i hoped you wouldn't quit. You stuck with it! Great job!
Dang Good upload schedule keep it up!
Fingers crossed
