Do you work on several games in the same time, I have 2 great gaming concepts on my mind since I started to rework on Luuckey United.
I am actually going to share concepts in WIP interest topic, while writing notes realized my head is full with them.
But I also want to progress on my first game as well - so I am curious about multi game development at the same time and feedbacks of those who are doing it.
The concept ideas are here:
I believe I felt like that once upon a time, back in my fanfic days. I just kept writing and reading and worldbuilding and now Iām unreasonably confident about everything I create. I have so much pride Iām going straight into the deepest ring of hell after I die. You just need to keep going (by which I mean both writing and improving at it) until the feelings of inadequacy get eroded.
Thanks everyone!
All your input makes me feel so much better and more confident; I appreciate you guys so much!! I think that once I finish the chapter Iām working on now, Iāll go ahead and do the demo after all.
Try to be as kind to yourself as you were to me!
This made me smile irl, thank you.

Just wanted to landmark the day I actually started to write a story of my own.
Did it take me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out how to use variables correctly? Yes.
Am I still making the same mistakes? Probably yes.
Will it take me a much, much longer time to have something even close to WIP-demo-able? Definitely yes.
But today I took the silly words floating around in the noodles of my brain and put them onto paper my computer screen, making them a tangible thing rather than a thought, and for that I will celebrate briefly 
Yes, but not for much longer. In a few more months I am going to let several projects hibernate while I hopefully - the Choice script Gods and Goddesses willing! - move Sense & Sorcery to completion. I think as long as you can maintain some momentum on multiple projects itās fine to have more than one, but if thereās no synergy between them (which is my case) it gets a lot harder. Both of your game ideas, by the way, sound super fun and I look forward to trying them eventually.
All the work you put into writing something sucks afterwards means you are getting better IMHO.
I had an interesting career after graduating uni, so met with lots ot isolated intellectual minds. Most told me they were writing short stories etc to keep sanity sometimes.
You are training your creativity muscles. Let me give you a secret, when the digital cameras becaming a thing, summer holidays we got funny pics with friends.
Then I started the tradition of photonovels, very lame jokes and stories ,posted on forums 
It was mocked first but because I was mocking with all in the story it slowly became a hit 
Have been stuck inside for four days straight due to covid. Last time I had covid I wrote an entire stageplay from scratch. This time I have to pull out a tooth for every word.
Hi everyone, Iām new here! 
Began writing in june, first time Iām writing anything for other people and itās scary. Hope these threads will help me maintain optimism!
Goal for this month is to finish the second chapter and reach at least 20K words total.
Secondary goal is to refine my writing style in the process, as someone who has never written anything serious before, let alone in English.
Additional and ongoing goal is to not get discouraged and depressed!
I want to remember that my main goal when writing isnāt for it to be popular, but to improve myself.
Stay healthy everyone 
Welcome to the thread. Iām somewhat in the same boat as you. Joined the thread last month and started writing my current project in May. Last monthās thread has been a huge help for me so Iām sure this monthās will be the same, for both of us.
Sounds what I call āartist neurosisā, because everyone I know who works on a creative field does it. Just try to ignore it, if you can.
It can also happen right after you wrote it, and itās highly unlikely youād have gotten that much better in the middle of the two-hour period you did it. Authors just arenāt always (usually, in my experience) very good judges of their own work.
Although maybe itās just a Finnish thing, I donāt know.
The first things I wrote did suck. But they were also the foundation for everything Iāve since written that didnāt (or sucked less, if youāre a critic). Iām very glad I didnāt delete them or give up.
Try to remind yourself that your writing isnāt going to be perfect, and that continuing to write ā and to show that writing to others, as exposing as that can be ā is the way to improve.
Welllll, I am done with the full prologue, but there is still a need for polishing. The thing is, the more I try to edit my own writing, the more ādisjointedā it seems. And the attempt to āsmooth it outā will make everything seem rushed and sort of glue together (I know itās a weird metaphor, but I donāt know how else to describe it).
Itās probably because English is not my first language (though I spent most of my adolescent years in an English-speaking country) and I am probably a bit burned-out. Anyway, itās time for a break. I shall leave the next chapter(and editing) to the next monthās version of me. I am pretty sure they wonāt appreciate this, but atm I am too tired to care xD
Good luck for everyone else! If you are productive, good for you; if not, take care- resting is important too : )
I have to admit that itās nice to see so much determination here, so I share too.
Iāve finally finished writing the prologue to my WIP (and Iām finally figuring out how to mess around with programming) and my goal is to publish by the end of July, despite all the doubts and anxiety (but I love the feeling). My head also feels like a rabbit in spring (to put it mildly) with all the ideas I have.
At least I know I wonāt lack feedback.
@izzily Hey, remember that stat issue you had where people were going lower than you thought possible that I said might have been because putting out an update made dash reset chapters but not stat changes?
Iām not saying thatās what happened with your project, but I CAN confirm it can still happen, because I just had to start a fresh playthrough in a WIP that updated literally today.
! Thanks for letting me know.
Itās starting to feel like that must be it, cause those totals just donāt make sense otherwise. (plus it seemingly hasnāt happened to anyone in a while, which would make sense if they started new playthroughs)
Someone whoās (hurhurhur) intimate with the ins-and-outs of dash might be able to tell you why sometimes it resets stats and sometimes it doesnāt.
This is a shot in the dark and very specific, but does anyone know the appropriate onomatopoeia for microphone feedback? My google searches thus far have been unhelpful. The only things I could think of are āEeeeeeā or maybe ābzzztā (as a general technological sound) but neither feel appropriate. If not, I guess Iāll have to write my way around it 
zzhheeEEEEEEET
Started today with a migraine from overstimulation due to a lot of schedule upheaval this weekend. My brother was in town for the weekend, and I spent a lot of time around him and running around town and my whole everything isā¦ very much out of sorts.
So Iām currently in posession of exactly 0 spoons, and SHOULD be resting. BUT I am so fucking BORED laying down and playing games on my phone that I canāt stand to do so any longer. So Iām trying to work on my game with exactly 0 spoons.
ā¦This is perhaps not the best idea. B ut I canāt get over the guilt that if I were to play a video game or something instead, would haunt the entire time, ruining any enjoyment I might get out of it.
Ugh. This sucks.
