i made a new game over the weekend, it's called Quest, i have no idea what it is like to experience it. sylvie.itch.io/quest
there was an indie game on xbox 360 that was heavily inspired by these games. looks like it's getting a steam re-release soon too! store.steampowered.com/app/4305650/...
banger of a game have fun!!!
image of a save file interface that lists the following: file 2 (current) time played: 6:28 qbits: 646; batteries: 13
so with full game knowledge, my game derelict star still took me about 6.5 hours to 100% from a new save file. a few of my testers played for 20+ hours and still haven't seen everything. i'm pretty happy with this!
pretty!

finally someone made a site for me
I featured 150 browser games on my blog this year and just dropped my personal top 10

yeah this is basically my approach too. parameterize everything so i can easily tweak it and make it feel perfect.
my character classes are usually a big long mess of special cases, but hey, at least they're configurable special cases.
@gimblll.com's Sektori is really something special!
campaign mode is def. the star of the show. lots of interesting choices with both a gradius power-up system AND a drafting system.
but it nails the geometry wars 2-style modes too! just got an S in classic and i'm buzzing! pure flow state ❤️
i truly do sympathize with you. i've struggled with similar issues of self-doubt and it can be extremely hard to tell when you'll escape those thoughts. for me, one day it felt impossible and the next day it suddenly didn't. it's not one single change, it's a culmination of a lot of self-examination
it will take a while, because that premise has likely infected a lot of your conclusions and it will take a long time to examine each premise that builds up to this feeling that you're not good enough, but from personal experience simply noticing those thought patterns is enough to overcome them
when you have a discouraging thought, try to examine it and see if it might align with a premise that isn't objectively true (e.g. you're inferior to people around you). it only feels true because it's familiar. you can start identifying the root of those thoughts and start to dismantle them.
it WILL get easier, but it's going to take a paradigm shift in your mind, and the first step of that shift is accepting that it's hard right now.
and i don't think the problem is that it's too hard for you, it's that you think it should be easier based on how you perceive others. creation is easiest when you enjoy the process, and the current process will be a struggle, so you have to learn to enjoy the struggle on some level.
again, i think you're comparing yourself with an ideal self they're presenting via social media. i promise you nearly everyone struggles with something. your first step might be accepting that creation is going to be a struggle for you. it will get easier with time, but it's hard!
if you find you can't help compare yourself to others and creation is a priority for you, then it might make sense to limit your time with social media. both iphone and android let you limit time on apps or you can install extensions on your browser that will do the same for certain websites.
most of them got there by failing in some degree. it takes practice to not struggle -- you have to learn all the ways you can fail; you have to learn what motivates you, specifically. you have to learn when you're approaching burnout and how to avoid it.
