It's been a wicked long time since I was active here...
The reason I'm actually posting this, is because I want to know if it's normal haha. Has anyone else just taken a break from AGS for a long time? I just started back again, and it's saddening to know that I stopped using it for so long, due to me just not being interested in that point in time.
Plus, I feel like an idiot, because I always end up asking for help on things for my games, and then I never complete them. It's like I've wasted people's time. I've never completed a full game that I can actually look at and feel proud of. I see all these great games being made and all this awesome art going into them and not once over the years did I feel any motivation to start my own. Games are one of my passions, and yet I totally disregarded it...
I'm trying now to work on some stuff, and trying really hard not to get sick of it haha. I was also hoping to become more active on the forums. I'm not really sure why I'm rambling like this, I guess I just feel like I owe something.
So, tl;dr, has anyone just gotten sick of making games for a little while and just stopped?

Rap4Life :) Hello buddy.
I was in the same situation as you, having taken a break from AGS for a good year or so to pursue my education, i returned just before christmas ;) Now i've never created anything worthwhile for the AGS machine but i've done a fair bit of growing up and one hell of a lot of learning and that's all down to the genuinely brilliant AGS community. Got a problem... ask the AGS, any worthwhile question gets at least a page of comments here; that's dedication.
So i too want to give something back, and thanks to the wonder of life i'm just about ready to do that now. By the sound of it, you are too. 2010 is looking to be a brilliant year for AGS, take the bull by the horns.
Oh and feel free to send me a PM if you ever need some motivation ;)

I'm currently in college pursuing my education too so I know how that is. I think the main problem I had before with games was hype. I used to post what I had in production and then I ended up never living up to it, and just lost all motivation with it. But now, I've been working a lot on music, and a week ago I just ended up getting an idea for a game, and now I'm taking my time on it. :)
