Voyaging Mind

Note: This is written with the context of at home projects in mind. I have a lot of ideas for things to build, far more than I could ever make in my life time even if I worked on them full time. The lure of a new idea is strong. It offers a new challenge  unexplored fertile territories for my mind to explore. This makes them more compelling than what ever project I am currently attempting progress with. I keep a list of ideas for things to develop and as many of them are simple ideas I once foolishly thought that I could churn though many of them and thus be free to work on bigger and better projects. Alas as you try to develop an idea that should be a week long break from my main project the idea starts to suffer from feature creep and before long is taking over a month to build or more. As many of the ideas are little more than wouldn't it be nice type of app I am not wholly committed to them, meaning I am much more susceptible to another new idea taking over from them

A pattern I have noticed is I am pretty productive in January and February but March and April seem to tail off a fair bit. Each year seems to have a different reason. This year is has been getting Netflix and suddenly having access to lots of TV series that we have missed over the past decade or so. Netflix is starting to wear off on us now so I am expecting to start to get a little bit more productive. Next year I will make an attempt to not loose my momentum quite so much. I am probably about halfway though my next game and to be honest I am at the point where it is not much fun to work on. Most projects I really need to push past this and aim for completion soon. My mind has been turning over what to do next. It is possible I may take a few weeks out of game dev to work on my art skills. Basically draw as much as possible. Improve my Inkscape skills and perhaps learn a bit of blender. Stuff I have been meaning to do for ages. Without a doubt being able to draw better wil
