Throw yourself off a cliff in an attempt to commit suicide?
Hopefully not, jackass!
What I would like to know is what you other people do when you've put so much into a game and suddenly it just doesn't appeal to you any more. Well, not so much that it doesn't appeal, but, you just don't feel like it's going to be that good as you thought it might be. You know you want to complete it and it's been a goal you've had for a long time but you just don't have the gusto... how do you get yourself out of the rut?
Sometimes I get to the point where working on this one game yanks so much out of me I'd just like to start a new game. It's exciting to think about something fresh, but I wouldn't do that since Rince and I have put so much into this and I'd like for this game to be out there more than anything in the world.
What I like to do when I feel like this is read through old notes and things that I've written and e-mails sent from Rincewind. Doing that usually get's me going and thinking about it again. Another good motivator is reading other people's critiques on the game and what they think. Especially good comments
So what do you do?
Are there any games out there that have been finally released that almost weren't?
