It's horible man. I start building these games, and then another idea hits me and I just jump to that one. The side scroller fighting thing looks really fun. Maybe that'll be my next project after I finish current project of mine. I think instead of tackling a huge project, I'm gonna break it up and do some smaller games. That way I stay productive and can get some games in to the community. The hardest part of any project is being able to create something with replay value. I think new project fixes that problem, all be it temporarily.

Interesting. i am sure you aren't the only one who can't stay focussed on one project. I am now pushing myself to finish STFC, because there is 101 other ideas spinning around in my head, and I want all those games. STFC I've played in to the ground for testing, and I want something new, but most others have not. Smile.
