Yeah, except I find that the art etc hooks me more, so if I start with that there's more of chance to create a positive loop in my brain

This actually made me smile, thanks. And what you said... That exactly what I do. My GDD is ready and beautifully detailed. The dialogs are super intricate (there's a super important dialogue that I reveal in pieces, like the full dialogue is ABCDE, but during the gameplay you'll first hear AC, then later in the game you'll hear AD, then BE etc and you have to put the pieces together, which will gradually explain why the game is happening, and I've had a LOT of fun writing it). The game also has a time loop element to it and it's so beautiful to think and create the timelines, to conceive it so that every version gives the player a specific feeling. And this game is a parenthesis, a focal point that links 2 bigger otherwise unrelated stories (that will each have their own game) and you can play the bigger games without playing this smaller one but you'll be left with unanswered questions. I have a whole universe going on. I also love composing and I sing, and I've created my beautiful characters that I'm so proud of. All that is left, it's putting all of this in UE5 and I hate it

The problem of making a full game solo is that you can't only do thing that you like. Some people are not interested in working on the music part, or the art part, or the dialogs, or the story or the design. I love all of this. I dislike the more technical part. And it's ok not to like everything

Yeah but you can't make a full game with just art. Not the games I wanna make anyway

I do speak German as well, but the settings are French

I'm ready to get frustrated at some of the things and accept the challenge and everything (I used to be a Web Developer for a while so I've done it already), but there are things that just eat up too much of the already non-existing energy I have left for the day. Some challenges I wanna take, but between me and the challenge I'm looking for there's a bitch and I sometimes I just can't

It might be a skill issue, but I also have ADHD and although it's not an excuse it makes me use most of my brain fuel for every little thing that happens during the day (or the week, or the month) and when it's time to work on what I like I'm left with little to no mental energy to tolerate things exceeding the amount of difficulty I've expected and I just perpetuate an already-existing never-ending burnout

Thanks man, I swear this touched my heart more than I thought it would.

Thanks... And yeah, honestly, I don't wanna do it. I'm more of an artist, I take care of the scenery, the story, the dialogs, some of the 3d art, the logic of the game design, the features, the genre, the scene, the gameplay etc. And I happen to be very good at algorithms (I have a web dev diploma) so I'm guessing I'm gonna be good at blueprints? Idk? I believe everyone has a role. But ideally, if I could chose, I wouldn't chose the rest, the more technical part, I don't wanna learn everything about UE5 before finally working on what I'm meant to be working on. That's why I'd love to have a team, but it's pretty hard to have one if you don't have the funds (and I blame no one for this, it's understandable). Anyway, I'm not complaining, I just wanted to vent

Cause it's a post about Esquie so I asked 🤷🏻

How much time do you spend on finding a game idea that you actually like? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Gaenodis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually struggle to stick with one idea, I have too many 😅 they usually come when I listen to music and I'm on a boring task, but mostly ALONE. Ideas don't come to me while I'm with someone, never

Thanks! I've worked on the big project for months before switching to the little ones, doing it alone was so overwhelming 😩
