What happened? Well, Windows decided it would shit itself and break. Back then, I was quite dumb and didn't really think of ways to back my stuff up, so I just reformatted and reinstalled Windows, losing me MONTHS of hard work on several of my games I had worked on at the time.
I was thinking about what actually went wrong since then, and why I don't make games FAR as much as I used to, and when I do, it takes me 3 months to do work I would usually do in less than a month back then. And then it hit me.
This event absolutely obliterated my work will and motivation to do game development. You can notice, I went quiet for 4 months after and only released something that wasn't even a game and all-in-all took me ~1 week to make. And then I went silent for over 7 months once more.
Then I released AsterSpace 2, which is currently sitting unopened with no part of it updated for the past month or more. I genuinely wonder if I will ever recover from this. I just can't make myself work on anything.
If you know something to do, to restore my work will and excitement to make a game I once had, please let me know. I love making games and the fact I have to go through this is killing me.
Edit: I guess I should also mention real-life problems getting in the way, such as that my father moved out and essentially got divorced in June last year, and the fact that I'm currently in the thriving age of pure puberty.
