Hello, You probably noticed that I don't post that often as I usually did before. well, my mindset about how I see gamejolt and how I see my creativity has changed a lot since then. Let me explain
Everything that I post to the public, is created, well, you guessed: for the public. and when public doesn't see you, or doesn't really care about you. you start feeling the burnout because of the situation, this is how I kinda feel right now looking at my account state.
I don't really care about likes or views, but about comments, that kinda makes my interaction with you more open and fun. if I get 30 likes, so be it, but when you don't get attention from other people When the work that I posted was made specifically for THEM, you kinda start to feel like it doesn't really matter.
I know I know, post things for yourself. You see, there are 2 popular mindsets you have when you post something on social media: First, posting only for yourself, and second, you do stuff for yourself but when you post something to the public, you want the public to see it. I am driven by the second mindset. I do a lot of stuff, drawing and other art for myself but they remain private, when I post something, it's not JUST for ME but for OTHERS. And so, I get unnoticed by people, because there are other more popular and more interesting people to watch and follow, my art is not perfect, that is true, but I am aware that I spend a lot of my time on them, and when I look at statistics and amount of time I spend on these arts, I am getting demotivated, and since the end of june, I started to feel that I don't feel motivated enough to run this account. This is also why I didn't even start any project I tried to announce you by the small art teasers I was doing.
As for now, I will probably stop posting often on that account, and will just try to focus on my main work on @FalseAnimatronicsGames account. And will limit posting on this account to minimum.
I am sorry that it happens this way, but I don't feel it anymore kinda. I wanted to talk about it for some time by now but I just couldn't force myself to even post anything here. But I am at least happy I can take it off my chest. It's not your fault of course, just to make you guys clear.
I will see you on @FalseAnimatronicsGames account and MAYBE here soon :)
