14 months into this journey I committed myself too.
Told it was too hard, and impossible.
“How hard could it be?” I naively asked myself.
After all, I had once soloed an enormous project, long, long ago.
I got the answer. It is too hard, it is impossible, to get done, today.
Me and who I am, can not do this.
I am moving at a snail pace. Every day feels like nothing got done.
And only, when I look back, do I see how far I have come.
14 months ago, I was terrified of learning to code. It had always destroyed me.
But this time, if I wanted my dream to come true, i had to do it.
So I learned to code.
At the same time, I was re-learning Blender.
Blender. The tools. What was impossible so long ago, is child’s play today.
And the tools keep coming.
Right now, there are tools being created, both by Unity official, and by people driven by the asset store, and by a cornucopia of other motives, some profit, some personal.
It is neither too hard, nor impossible, to get it done in the future.
Me, and who I will be in three years, can do this.
What tools will evolve in three years?
I got nothing done in 4 years because I have chasing hair, giving up can be optimal, it really depend on what you value. I mean I have made myself a fools by making declaration I couldn’t follow up else I would loose my focus. You have to think about what opportunity you gain and what you loose. Giving up is entirely valid. IN fact that’s why I don’t gave up, because hey I have no problem with it, it’s no big deal, so why not continue
At least I have been narrowing the challenge down to a single equation now, which mean I need to get other my own incompetency on math … so progress?
What’s happening to the people in this thread? Everyone says they have given up and that they also haven’t. Have they entered another dimension? A non-physical realm of superfluidity? Pure game-dev ether dust being poured into pixel manifestations of pure consciousness?
Give up your time, your friends, your family, carrie, study, to always pursue your dream and never give up, to succeed. Weather is healthy, that’s another matter. A bit contradicting, I know but may work
Seriously though, I’ve seen and experienced extensively the detrimental effects prolonged sleep deprivation plays. There’s times in life you got to suck it up and sacrifice, but if you cannot draw a clear benefit from it, most likely it is detracting from your output, not adding.
Just my two cents. Now I realize this is totally off topic. Sorry.
I thought you meant get in your 8 hours of work. XD Which is a good rule to live by, I am really bad at it, though. So far I have got 2 in today.
Sleep? I sleep as much as I must. In fact, sometimes, I get so overwhelmed and discouraged by something, I take a nap. I try to think about it as I fall asleep. Usually, I wake up 30 minutes to two hours later refreshed, and with a simple solution to try…
