I can't ****ing do anything!
Everytime I try to do something... it is completely pointless. I try so hard to get a hand of things, work hours upon hours, and I can never make anything work. Not for any particular RPGM or Game Maker, but everything. I had so much planned for Pandora Crisis... Sin... Nomed Legna... other obscure titles that never worked out. I am completely useless and talentless. So I'm just going to roll up a ball now.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
Is it a matter of running out of inspiration? Too many ideas? Or something else?

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
I can never work with the material I'm given and when I can't get things to work I get frustrated. I'm such a perfectionist.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
Same here buddy, I've just started over again after years of not being exposed to it. Plus RPGM3 has been entirely new to me ever since I got out the Army. So, I'm learning how to use a new software to me AND have the problem of wanting to make my game PERFECT. Plus, I'm my own worst critic. I'm almost NEVER completely satisfied with my own work . In case you haven't noticed, that's why I edit my posts and tinker with them a lot, because I nitpick everything about my presentation. But I think I know how you feel, buddy.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
Jamos, you are not useless or talentless. I am sorry that you are in this crisis(pun intended) but you can get out of it. You just need hope and perseverance; the greatest ingredients for a soup called RPG Maker Game Soup. So take those two and mix it in the pot so you can make that soup. Serve us the soup, Jamos, we want the soup and only YOU can give it to us.

WOOPS. WRONG YEAR.

I was in a rush rebuilding the community news topic after already accidentally deleting it once. That's how this got in the post, and that's how I ended up replying to it like a tard.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
Regardless of post times, I bet Jamos will still be able to use the advice he receives here.

The only thing I can say is "if the RPGMs aren't working out for you, try a different medium" cause not everyone sticks with RPG Makers. This advice would seem contrary to the Pavilion at large, but *shrug* sometimes you just gotta try something different.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
Wow, was I ever surprised to see this thread again. Good advise, though. To be honest, I have been trying to work on something lately. Would be easier to do if my sister's dog didn't try pouncing on me while I'm working on it, but oh well. Not going to give any information on what I'm working on quite yet. Mainly, because it brings about added pressure to make it perfect. When I can't make something perfect in my eyes I often abandon it. So when there is less pressure to do so I might get something going.

Re: I can't ****ing do anything!
That's your other problem, is struggling to make things "perfect" cause even "perfect in your eyes" will never be attained. Just make and make and make, don't let yourself get bogged down in unnecessary details, and don't let yourself go back and revise one scene in the game a hundred times instead of moving ahead with the entire thing.

You have to be flexible with any RPG maker. Very rarely can you be all precious with your ideas, you usually have to work with the software, rather than against it. I hate it, too. Oh how I screamed and yelled, but eventually I caved in and just did it the 'imperfect' way so it would work. Nine times out of ten it wound up working even better than I originally intended.

I'm just saying... don't let that kill your inspiration, sometimes you have to fight a little for it, and fighting means taking losses.

If you don't, IT WINS.

I always glare when people give up on things! And when I do it, I glare at myself in the mirror until I feel sufficiently chastised. give myself one of those.

I can see where you're coming from. I've stopped talking about my own future plans for similar reasons.
