STOP! Stop stopping half way through your projects. Make a simple game and release it. At least then you have foundations on which to build a better future, filled with finished, enjoyable games.

This video talks about how you tend to make projects that push you to your limits. And how projects tend to take much longer than you expect them to. Combine these two things and what do you get?!

I also go off on a tangent at the end and explain why basic game makers might actually be better for you than learning coding for real. Coding takes time. It's something you need to learn if you're working in a larger or more professional group. But if it's the game itself that you're interested in, simpler game development tools provide shortcuts that allow for you to make a more complicated game without needing to rely on other people.
