I'm realising from this break I'm having that continuous motivation comes from revisiting the things that originally inspired us.


It's kind of a case of me seeing how someone else approached a project, and thinking of ways which I would have done it differently. Then I feel like I REALLY need to make that thing in my own way.

I got this because I've been playing Hypixel Skyblock recently (ugh I hope that doesn't last I can feel myself becoming my chair already) and I keep feeling the urge to make a frkin MMORPG . This is all well and good but I'm never finishing a project if I keep changing my mind.

I started making Undersmash because I was in an Undertale phase and liked the Smash series and watching devlogs on YouTube, but in the past few months I haven't been consuming as much of the same content.

I'm going to start playing more Smash Bros. to get that fighting game spark back, because to be honest I rarely play nowadays. And I'll try to stay up to date with new Undertale content too - I'm yet to get around to the new chapter of TS Underswap.

If you're feeling de-motivated for a project, go back to what got you excited for it in the first place and re-experience it. It may spark your interest again and get the train rolling once more. Obviously, let yourself take breaks though.

Happy scrolling :)

Conveyor belts look way more satisfying than the pipes, they aren't as practical but they are so cool.
