Video games are
a great love of mine, as I’ve previously evidenced. But I’ve
also been interested in making video games for roughly the past
decade of my life. That interest swings back and forth, though.
Over the years, I’ve had many ideas for games - some interesting ones, others less so - but I’ve actually taken it upon myself to execute them only a few times. And even in those cases, I almost never finished them. To this day, only one fully finished game by me exists. Or two, but one of them is an improved (and “non-private”) version of the other.
I do like to experiment with different game creation tools. I like to see how they work and what they can do, and I often compare their workflows with each other. And of course I have numerous game ideas, which gives me an excuse to do so to begin with.
Lately, after a few years of decreasing interest, I’ve actually wanted to try and make a game or two. I’m only debating with myself which one of the ideas I should execute. They all seem so interesting to myself that I’m finding it impossible to make up my mind. That and I haven’t learned the ins and outs of any game creation tool I’ve looked at. But at the very least, I'd have an excuse to do that as well.
I’ve always been impressed by how some people make entire games all by themselves. And I see no reason why I shouldn’t at least try it myself.
Now if I could just decide on which of the ideas to execute...
