I'm just curious, really. I've been here for awhile and I've never even come CLOSE to finishing a project, and I was wondering if anyone was in the same boat. I was thinking maybe us lamers can get together to make a project in the coming competition.

Question: How the hell do you do that?

Seriously. What is it that keeps you motivated? Is it just the urge to finish a project, or do you do something extra to keep you interested in your game?

Well, the games I make are usually fairly simple and level-based, so I don't have nearly as long of a development time as more complex projects, like RPGs. That and I don't really get bored with working on my game.

i think it is sad how we all lose motivation for these kind of projects as we get older. i wish i knew how to fight that in a better way.

i finished one game when i was 14 or something. it was called princess on a quest and it wasn't good. i wish i could find it again but i lost all the files long ago.

i made a gam twice. i completed both of them. the first one was really lame and was about legos. the second one i completed in a day or two because of a ducats incentive. i got some ducats and i was really proud of it.

I know that using RPG Maker isn't saying much, but I have finished a few games back in my youth, even if they weren't lengthy epics.

EDIT: Forgot about "Tales from Zilmurik" which was started and finished within 8 hours, this includes the few hours of break time and bug fixes so it'd probably be less.

I completed one, but it ended with the words "To be continued..." and was fairly buggy in places.

no, not counting the calculator games I made in high school math class. I'm really bored by anything math-related but coding in math class was much better than doing the work. I'd rather use math to actually create something than use math to destroy

I've only finished games when there was the possibility of earning money from doing so
