Ok, so I've been hiding something for very long, and it's time for me to tell you.

No, I'm not over with my 'multiple projects' syndrome. I am still building holds in privacy. Since a recent while, I've been making holds for others to enjoy, especially for the entertainment of specific people I chat with. Yes, I am doing too many holds in TCB, and I shall name out the ones I left out of the public:

-Priller's Trials
-Jeff_ray's Dungeon
-Vista Dungeon

Not a lot, but these are only the holds I made in TCB. In JtRH, a swarm of incomplete stuff is laying there, hoping for revival.

Alright, so let's face it, I've still got the problem. I understand the others that have that syndrome too, but I'm the worst case of all. At least, Anson is really willing to have a hold out, but I keep working on something all the time.

Discuss now.

It's OK to do that in private. It's when you waste persons' time in Architecture that is objectionable.

I know your pain. I have the same syndrome, but with games making...

But well, maybe rather I had. Even though I have 9 projects residing on my comp, most of them are mini games done when bored.

For me it disappeared with age . But also it can be fought by doing one big hold being the sum of them all (Like I do - my hld is really big ).

That could work, but each hold has a different theme, so it can't work.

Make a big non-linear hold with multiple dungeons, like MeckMeck's World 2. Or the hold, I'm making.

Keep Going
-Maurice Z.

Only 9?
I have about 30 unfinished games/projects, 70 non-game projects for use in other games, and 50 single scripts for use in various applications.

Although I am working on one large game with my group now, I've never actually finished a game so far except a packman clone or two.

Insane, before I started using Game Maker I was playing with Clicks (TGF, MMF) I was complete N00b back then, and the numbers of projects I've started... About two-three per week .

Then I moved to GM. Started making Kulkis II. Took me one and half of an year. At the beginning I was unable to work properly, cause I played games all the time, and then level developing stopped me. But finally I ended it, and I've managed to point out some plans and objectives for myself. When I feel like starting new project, I just don't do it - I leave the idea in my mind though.

Besides I have no time starting new projects. I either play DROD, or work with PHP making my site, or thinking about on-line games I would like to make (In PHP of course) .

And well, I've managed to finish few projects. You can always see them on my site Here (Bad me, how dare I to advertise me site so much ^^).

Anyway, this is not a topic about myself. Jeff_ray, you can always also throw your hold to the Junkyard, that thing newly created in Architecture board .

I didn't watch the whole thing nor understand everything perfectly but I think I at least partially understood.
Anyway, I don't have any brain crack feelings or so. Sooner or later I forget about the idea, and it will either come back later, never come back, or will happen to pop in my mind when I'll work on similar project.
What goes with this, I don't rely on planning projects (excepting Metroid Recreation), I more rely on improvisation and ideas coming while developing.
I just had that thing today, when I was making Tutorial to my Hold. I had no idea what super scripting tweaks to add, but while making that tutorial I came up with lots of ideas .
