...don't settle for lemonade. Make limoncello instead: it's good and it gets you drunk. Sometimes it's just what you need.

Jokes aside, it's a rough period. My job quickly became more full-time than part-time and sometimes it's quite demanding. I'm also stuck with the last areas of the game I'm working on: ideas sometimes just stop flowing and I keep doing and scrapping. This is making me quite nervous.

I've learned one thing though: getting mad doesn't solve lack of creativity. It usually makes it worse.

I don't know how it works for others, but I can't force creativity. I can gently invite it to come out and it will eventually show itself, sooner or later. But if I try to give it orders, it just gets offended and refuse any form of collaboration.

That's one of the reasons why I don't want to depend on game development as my main source of income.
