Game Developers Writers Block

February 12th, 2008, 9:29 am

So I’m sitting here contemplating what to do next with my independent game.  I think making a game is similar to writing a book or making a movie in that in all of these creative pursuits you hit a point where you have developed enough but just don’t know where to take it after that.

I find myself in this exact position.  What do I do next?  I feel like there is a brick wall standing in my way, preventing me from seeing the brilliance that lies ahead.  How do writers get past their writer’s blocks?  What I need to do is just keep on writing.  The hope is that if I just keep on writing, something will come out that will be good.  Even if I can’t see the destination at this point, I need to push ahead in order to make this work.

After Chinese New Year, it has been hard to reset and get back into the working mentality again.  You really have to convince yourself to move forward.  So, little by little, I’m just gonna push past this wall.  Once I get over the hump, it will be no problem.  Right now, the wall seems insurmountable… or even possibly not worth climbing.  Nonetheless, I am going to push through this.  I still believe I am doing something really revolutionary.  Only time will tell the answers, and I’ve just gotta go with my gut.
