Quote: "Yeah the last part of the project ironically is the longest and less satisfying (ironacally enought that you have "everything" working), there are so many little things that you get bored easily and overwhelmed.
I hope you put yourself on this and give the last shot to finish your game. "
Yeah, it's all the little things together that add up to something quite big. I'll try and force myself to work on it this weekend

Quote: "You want motivation? For every minute you don't work on this project, I kill a kitten."
Haha, go ahead, I don't like cats, just don't kill the puppies!
Quote: "In all seriousness, though, I know how motivation can be difficult to "manufacture", and it must be doubly intimidating to work on something so big. But just don't let it fall by the wayside - I'm sure everyone's rooting for you. "
Yeah, it is difficult taking on such a large project by myself, but I keep telling myself, if I've got this far, I can keep going.
Quote: "This is one more post to add to your motivation. It would be good to see this game finished. "
Thanks, yes, it will be very nice to see it finished, haha.
Quote: "Well, for motivation, you told me last year over IM that PoPR would be ready for my birthday which... It wasn't. Well my birthdays coming up again *cough* end of the month *cough* so that might motivate you?"
Haha, I seem to have conveniently forgotten that conversation
. You'll be one of the first to get the game

Quote: "Here's some motivation: just get the damn thing to a playable stage and move on! We don't care when you make the final version, as long as we have something to play with in the meantime!"
The "final version" is the playable stage. And no, I'm not going to release it before it's ready, or people will get tired of playing a crappy version of it before they got the full version.
Quote: "Do you have writer's block? What is it?"
Writers block with a 3D game that has no story yet? That makes sense. And I've already stated why I haven't worked on it-I just don't have inspiration to work on it very often, especially when I realize how much is left to do.
Quote: "EDIT: Text games SUCK.
"
Yes, insulting one of my other projects will certainly help my motivation to work on this one (/sarcasm). Just because you are one of those people too lazy or stupid to read and write (or rather, type) does not mean text games suck. They are no worse than 3D games in the same way a book is no worse than a movie, they are simply different mediums and are appealing for different reasons. Unfortunately many people look down on them because they have to actually read (God forbid) and use their imagination (again, God forbid) rather than just being shown exactly what happens.
