Well, after inadvertently sleeping in until noon (Alarm went off but it failed to wake me up…) I had an extremely unproductive day.<\/p>\n

I’m really pissed at myself. I promised myself that I’d succeed this time. I really wanted this to amount to something. I don’t know if I can do that now.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m just pissy right now because I’m disappointed in myself, but I can’t picture getting any of this done by the end.<\/p>\n

I’m really sorry, folks. I did this myself. I did this to<\/em> myself. I can’t believe it. I’ve likely failed yet again. Can I ever succeed at this?<\/p>\n

This is really sad for me. I’m wondering whether I can actually succeed at making games. Again, I’m probably just pessimistic because of how today went. I can’t shake that feeling, though.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what will become of my Mini-LD entry. I’m really depressed right now, and finishing it at all<\/em>, even after<\/em> the Mini-LD looks hopeless. I’m not sure what I want to do, or whether I want to keep going.<\/p>\n

This is pretty much how it’s gone for the past year or so. Loads of projects that don’t even make it to being prototypes. Abandoned within days. I’m doubting whether I can actually do game dev at all.<\/p>\n

I’m really sorry about this, folks. I just… can’t seem to get anything done. I don’t know why I’m sharing this here. I probably shouldn’t be, but I need to vent. I’m really not sure what I should do.<\/p>\n

Still, good luck to everyone. I wish I could find hope for myself…<\/p>\n
