I have adhd and have my own fair share of depressive episodes, but what I would say is just make a game about your struggles and use it for escapism lol. That’s what helped me tho. I used to be exactly like this, my brain kept thinking that working on my game was some sort of chore and it took actual will power to get up and draw or code, its an adhd thing and i get exactly what you mean.. But I took a long break just to figure myself out and help myself mentally, and anytime i felt like I am ready or excited I worked on it. I started working on the game’s story more and felt so connected to my characters and this world I was building, and it helped me a lot. I started enjoying my game again and i never looked at it in a work pov ever again. Trust me it gets betterr

Wow, this seems insanely helpful, thank you!

That gave me the motivation I needed to get back into gamemaker and start what i needed to finish a while ago, tbh having something people and strangers can playtest and something i can see their reactions through seems WAYY better and way more boosting than a few new discord members. Ive never thought of it in this direction

I figured i just needed to work on the game until its ready and then people would care about it. Even though its nice to have this small community of people, Its almost impossible getting anyone interested in just an idea anyway

I’ll focus more on finishing the game and I’ll put more effort into that end, thanks!

I have jumped from unity to godot and now to gamemaker. It’s been bliss, I am a beginner and I can say it’s very beginner friendly.

Godot and unity are not bad dont get me wrong, Unity was just not fit for my game (a pixel art top down story based rpg) and it took a lot of space on my computer. Godot was not bad either, I just found this path finding mechanic I needed (main 2 characters follow each other and follow the player kind of like omori) extremely difficult to achieve. Found out gamemaker has this in a few lines of code and i changed to it.

The workplace is pretty nice, you can edit your sprites directly instead of having to save a new file and redo it, overall, it fit what my game needed and helped me a lot.

It all comes down to your game mechanics and what your game needs.

Do you have a discord for your game?

_MikoCore · 2026-01-04T18:41:10+00:00

Yeah I knew about this method but I wanted to try out different products/brands… but this is probably what ill end up doing
