Hi, I’ve been developing a game for over 2-3 months now all by myself and I’ve recently noticed that I become less and less productive every day, I’ve taken many breaks but I still feel the same way what should I do?

I have the same problem, try listening to music or just forcing yourself to do it.
If you have ADHD like me you might also want to try to make it funner like seeing how fast you can do it without any bugs or like I said earlier, listening to music. These help me but it might be different for you.

if I were you all you need is to listen any music that can bump your motivation off the charge.
the best music that can help you motivated the music that have a great rythem and a little touch of electronic music
If this wont motivate you try making more idea that have an amazing concept, scenery and also fun to play while testing the game.
and that is about it i hope this helping you out!

Make sure you have a clear goal in mind, it’s best to be doing what you want to do, if you are doing a part that isn’t necessarily appealing, I would recommend setting a schedule, and listening to music while doing it to take your mind of the boredom.

Like xander said, listen to music that energizes you. Some that did that for me are Don’t stop me now, We are the champions Live Aid, We will rock you Live Aid, and all or nothing at all Harry james Frank sinatra, the best of all though for me personally would be In the lap of the gods revisited Live at the hammersmith odeon . You should also think back to why you started. You started for a reason go back to it and remember why your doing all this. There must have been some incentive there to make you do it, if your idea itself isn’t motivating you improve on it, keep improving on it until every day you say “I love this, this is going to be my best game” I don’t really do schedules but they may work for you try them out if you want, anyways good luck with your motivation

I think the biggest reason why people are lacking motivation is because nobody is giving them enough attention to keep going. I recommend showing your work to friends/family because most of the time they always have something nice to say and its very heartwarming. And another thing I do is I document my journey. i do this because i can always look back and see how much progress i have made, and that is another way of staying motivated. hopefully this helps you

When I lose motivation I scream on my bed. lol but normally I’ll just leave it for a bit read on how to fix a bug (normally is what demotivates me) and then come back to it.
