Basically the only thing that keeps me motivated to work on Tundra these days is the fact that if I cancel it I'll have 11 wasted years of very slow progress. I'm determined to finish this fucking game even if it kills me.
I stopped making games a long time ago. But for drawing, I seldom look for inspiration. You just have to draw, and not 'wait for the mood' or whatever.
However, inspiration certainly FINDS me. Wreck It Ralph last year sent me flying home with creative energy.

Doing nothing motivates me to do great things, however doing nothing feels so nice that doing something would kill my source of motivation.

My sources of motivation can't be revealed here; too depressing and wtf pretty much.
emir shot a man in Reno just to make some games
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Having an online game helps, because I can watch people playing it all the time.

Music is great. Anime is great. Books, too, are great. But I really get motivated to mak gams when I've just woken up from one of my crazy dreams.
