I just noticed recently that more Total Conversions are being canceled/discontinued.

[WALP]

Its often very stressful to do a big project like a full-conversion along side all the other things you got going in your life and so many people end giving up on them. another thing to be aware of is that when development has gone on for a while the excitement you had when you first started will be long gone. in regular game development there will often be other things to give you motivation such as pay,feeding those you live with/your family, teammates, company activities and so on. but in modding theres VERY VERY rarely any pay, and people often work alone from their homes where theres no team-mates but plenty of other things to distract them.

In the end making a mod is all about self-discipline.


I struggle to get myself to start working often but at least I havent quit and still manage to get a little progress done everyday.
Sometimes I get back my work excitement though and end up working 3,5-7 hours a day on the mod
but it usally wears off after a couple days or a week :(.

I wish I could work as hard as those who live in poverty.

(from full conversions to poverty, what a detour XD)
