bro my mental game for the creative process is so bad it's a miracle hoptix has gotten as far as it has. i had to trash a room that wasn't working today and spent the whole work session rebuilding it,
and the way i emotionally parse this, instead of "i reworked something and made the game better," is "great, i got back to the same amount of progress on the game as i had yesterday. i might as well have done nothing." agony. i am withering
remember that learning what doesn't work is still progress! but also this feels so bad even knowing that, so I feel you.
yeahhh it's one thing to know it logically and another to internalize it all the way down to the emotions lol. helps keep it front and center in my mind's eye when other people say it to me too, though, thank you :3
Yeah it's always tough scrapping or re-working ideas and not moving along, but it's still getting work done overall so you're doing good Cinnabun!
thank you!! i'll keep doing my best and try to keep it in mind that at least other people consider it progress, even if i'm frustrated about it :p
