To make a game.

After getting so far with Gobbo Soup I have done my usual and started working on 2 other types of games. This is in part because I have been working a lot lately and sitting back at the pc I find it hard to get back into my current project.

I am determined to carry on with Gobbo Soup to see if I can turn it into an enjoyable game, If so I will finish it. This will involve kind of starting from scratch again.

 

I have also decided to make as much of my code reusable, when I start a new project I start from scratch including camera movement etc. Code like this can be made into stand alone Scripts that can be added through include.

It can be the start of a mini framework I suppose. A bit more effort will need putting in at the start but code should be easier to maintain and reusable.

 

I like working with Leadwerks 3, there justs seems to be something special which has really motivated me (maybe I'm just getting older). Yeah there are some teething troubles and I'm not sure exactly where it is going but I'm sure it it is going somewhere great so this part-time/hobby/indie coder will be along for the ride.

I know this also, after a certain time its really hard to motivate yourself for your project.

 

Don't make the mistake and force yourself to create "the perfect reusable code", its a good target to create resuable code but if you want to be "uber"-perfect (uber = best of best - its from german über) you'll lose motivation and gain more pressure.

 

I experienced that reusable code is written automatically after some ( (very) long) time.
