There was a Sakurai video about the motivational power of not showing too much of your work to people while you're still working on it, like if you show someone a WIP of your game it can take some of the wind out of your sails. And I think I've found that to be true to an extent for myself. Not to the extent I won't share gifs and updates on here, but I showed my IRL friend my game today which is really different from cherry-picking small things to show online, and she was really impressed with it! It made me realize how far it's come as a whole package and that was really encouraging! Yet paradoxically I found myself losing the momentum I felt earlier today working on it! That feeling like "I did it! Now I don't have to do any more work!" Except I DO! Hahaha. I need to get that underdog mentality back, like "I'll show them how cool this will be!!"
