It works every time if you actually try it.
(I recommend having a backup somewhere that you forgot about though.) | |
Very true. Another method:
Most of the time lack of inspiration is caused by getting bored of programming a game, to get interested again, simply work on something else. | |
You could always get a cute girl/guy to say that they'll make out with you(Not meaning it, probably) if you finish the game!

Q: How do you stay inspired to work on your game?
A: Don't release it until it's ready. After all, nothing like the masses to tell you how bad your game is and suck your inspiration dry. | |
Very true. Another method: This hardly works. I've been doing this allot, which is why every two weeks I stop a project and make a new one. | |
You could also just smash up a vital piece of hardware on your computer (Not your hard drive!) then not be able to fix it for a few weeks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... hold on a minute. You're talking to a community of programmers. We wouldn't even have the nerve to ask a cute girl/guy to say that.
Well, that and the fact that a cute girl/guy would look at you rather strangely if you said something like: "Hey, can you say you'll make out with me if I finish programming this game?" (Taking off your glasses, cleaning them, then flashing your unbrushed grin would be the clincher. =P) | |
Suprisingly that is almost exactly how i am inspired, the game i have been working on for ages now is a tribute to my girlfriend and the amount of tolerance she has had towards my coding. Im sure most girls would just think *Geek* and run away, but she just mocks me and plays them occasionlly . :D Go Stace, Go

Whoa, whoa, whoa... hold on a minute. You're talking to a community of programmers. We wouldn't even have the nerve to ask a cute girl/guy to say that. But the other half of the time, their boyfriend (assuming it's a cute girl) and football playing friends will pummel you while your caught offgaurd without a weapon. Sometimes you don't have to worry if you play games allot, just replay a time from Tekken, Dead or Alive, or Mortal Kombat, but now I'm probably off subject. | |
I was gonna say drop some money while your at it, but I didn't want to promote prostitution ;). And it's not to get them to make out with you, just to say they will! Plus, don't ask em out with your glasses on if you have glasses, and then again it could help considering some people have a glasses fetish(I think there is a fetish to everything from ear-wax to toenails!).

but now I'm probably off subject. This, he says, in a forum called "Off Topic". ;-) I'm actually a little worried -- I keep moving my arms and shouting "Hadouken!" but no blast of energy comes out. That's the only way I know of to defend myself! (Well, actually, I know the very very basics of karate, but what good would karate do to someone wielding the awesome might of the hadouken?) | |
That's what got Ensya so far :oP, even though she wasn't my girlfriend, just a friend, period. (It's not like I have many.)

Just make sure if the Principal is sitting on a throne of skulls you dont lose, because as soon as he says 'Finish him' your in for a rather painful experience. -DogMan | |
What is better than the Hadouken are two shins which have deadened nerves and heavy under-callases(Not sure on spelling for that one....) making it very hard to hurt them, of course this doesn't help much since you don't kick with shins! But it is fun making them even more stronger by having a soccerball on a rope and beating your shins heavily with it and not feeling a thing.

I normally find that I actually look a bit better with my glasses on (no, that's not because I can't see what I look like without my glasses on). They're a complement to my features (note: complement, not compliment).
| |
It's a good thing you never were able to use Hadouken, or else think of all the property damages and hospital bills to pay. Instead attack with a flurry of rapid punches to face, sweep kick, pull them up, dragon upercut, and use Jax's finishing move where you slam your fists on the side of their head, smooshing their head.
