I didn’t do any self-initiated design work for the whole back half of 2024. I’ve started up again now but for a while I thought that might be it.

Nope, once I had a taste it became intoxicating. Masochistically addictive.

i'm a little jealous

i felt like that when i first started, years ago, but now i'm surprised when i get another idea

Can relate.

For me it's more like "that better not have been my last one"

senfoonglim.bsky.social•33 days ago

No. Cannot. Stop.

dnlnwmn.bsky.social•33 days ago

i just get this "i will never have another idea again" feeling every time

Brain gremlins are lying to you. Don’t listen.

I have a fear that I won’t make another game as good as my first published design

seandavidross.bsky.social•33 days ago

i'm already there.

Yup. "I'm empty." Right now, that's true.

Nope. Always got a new idea coming in from on high

My version is "wow, that's done, I want to work on something else... But nothing I do will ever be as good..."

beardedrogue.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’ve given up on having any time/energy to act on any of my ideas at this point… What I’ve done will have to be enough until the world is no longer on fire all the time…

I hit that spot in 2009 and am back working on a design now. Game design's faithful, it's here when/if you come back.
