Really starting to reconsider being a game developer, I can never seem to get anything past engine prototyping. So many idea's, so many concepts, I have the ability to build it but I can't get past the first hurdle and it's really bringing me down...

Don't even have any dev friends to help me out...

Don't give up my friend.

I have this for you.

@electric-ghost been trying for the past 9 years and have the same to show as I did day 1
@antorqs and that helps... But would be nice if I could even get to the sketch stage

Well, I'm not a game developer and I've always wanted to be one.

One I'm not motivated, I like reading other dev's stories, of success and failure.

Have you read the story behind Duke Nukem Forever?

Maybe you can get something out of it

Also, I'm currently reading a book called Blood, Sweat and Pixels and It's really good. Take a look.

@antorqs thanks! Well hey if you ever want to try game development feel free to find me, might give me a morale boost, maybe.

And I'll grab a copy of blood sweat and pixels when my pay comes through :-3
