So my problem is that I can’t stay committed to one project for more than a day.

It starts with “Wow, I have some idea”, I create an empty project, work on it for a few hours, and then quit. I keep repeating this pattern.

I just want to finish something.

    I’ve been wanting to try Godot, but haven’t even started, so you’re better off than me. 😉

    However, I plan to start with a series of small demos to teach myself the engine. Make a hello world with a button, make a ball bounce around the screen, make pong, etc. I want to build progressively more difficult demos to teach myself.

    What did you get stuck on? Did you hit a particular wall topic you weren’t familiar with?

      Good luck with it, and don’t forget to have fun!

      I mostly get stuck with the visuals of the game. I’ve considered buying assets, but I’m one of those people who believe in creating everything in the game.

      I enjoy modeling and drawing, but I’m just not as good as I would like to be.

        I get stuck on the same thing. I think what I’m going to try is:

        Choose a visual style that is easy to create assets for, probably 2D, low resolution, etc, and then give myself limited time to produce every asset I need, like 5 minutes for each asset or something. I can polish them later if the game is ever finished. Slay the Spire comes to mind as a game that did this, before the official release there was a time where they were systematically working through the assets and updating a few at a time each update, it was an odd time because all the assets had different levels of quality, but in the end it worked out, and the lower quality assets didn’t stop the game from succeeding.
