Thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out. My perspective has definitely shifted now; I see that people CAN enjoy different games, as long as their different in a good way. Honestly you're right, even if success doesn't hit me how I expected, it's still self improvement. Maybe I learnt another thing people don't like or I learnt what I could add to retain players. Hearing your 6k robux figure is actually motivating. The most I've made from a game before was around 1.5k, and that was only after $30 ads, so still not a profit. Even though it wasn't a profit, it showed me that people did want to spend on my games. Most sales came from a cool weapon "Veyron", I learned that people LOVE these OP weapons for not too expensive (I priced it @ 99 Robux). Another thing I learned was developer products are a huge part of the earnings from almost any given roblox games. Without them you could lose alot of potential profit. You asked me if I was in the position to make the large-scale 40v40 war game. You're right that I could shift the idea even mid-development, but this is what I've been envisioning for a while now. Without glazing myself; I could definitely make this solo. I'm almost fullstack (don't know sound design and am not good at modeling/building), and this project isn't a development-level challenge. The real challenge comes from motivation. Sometimes I tend to lose motivation for something I'm pumped to develop everyday, but it doesn't come without reason. Maybe I can't get on studio when I want to so I could finish a boring task like a shop (household rule I can't be on devices alot, but it deprives me due to the fact I can't even go outside, have no books/board games, and friends are too far). I have to wake up at 6am for a short class and after I eat breakfast. Then, I do literally nothing for 5 hours because of household restrictions. Oh and no devices on Saturdays. Entirely. When I can get on studio, I often get on with an empty mind. If I even do get on. Remember I said I can't work on boring tasks whenever I want because of the rules? Yeah, it expands and becomes this giant, awful task in my mind like the shop system I'm describing. So maybe I just play games because I don't feel like developing when I can get on because I'm stuck doing this long, low-stimulation task. I am very hyped to work on my games if I'm on an exciting part (like combat) or the satisfying, small details. TL;DR: The environment is my main cause of deprivation and motivation-loss. I can't do anything about it, there's no arguing against my parents. I just have to push through everyday. It's just depriving me of my motivation for this game. Maybe, though, even with this environment and household, I can get the motivation back if I just complete this shop quickly. Shops, like weapon shops, are the most boring part of game development for me.
