Kuwento - Second Thoughts

Sat Jan 10 2026

It's hard to admit, but I lost my motivation for this project and I'm not sure I have it back yet. This is typical me unfortunately. Instead of actually working on it, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how I should be working on it. Sometimes I even open Unreal and it just stays open while I go back and forth looking at the work I've already done or while I'm distracted by other things.

Part of me thought I would get my motivation back if I listened in on the game devs from the unofficial Unreal discord server, but that didn't really work out; the more I listened to their chat, the guiltier I felt about not working on the project. I even considered changing the game engine today. Since I'm not aiming for super realistic graphics, maybe a lighter game engine like Godot would be more suitable. I wouldn't have to redo that much work anyway, since I don't have a lot done after all. But now I'm reconsidering once again. I don't want to redo the work that I have done. I know I just have to keep going no matter what. I have a general idea of what I want to showcase. I know how I want the story to begin. Maybe that's enough.
