A Journey's End

You have to finish a game. Can't keep on starting over or rethinking your ideas too much. I personally thought Journey's End was a great Demo. It had great mapping and used the XAS battle system (I think) very well. When you release the game you can always add updates and fixes later if your not happy with the product.

You have great programming knowledge and can do things I can only wish I could do in my games, but the first step has to be to finish the game.

Jenna, you almost sound a lot like me, never truly being completely satisfied with anything I do and always wanting to go back and change things or expand upon it to make the overall game even better and larger in scope. Sure, that may sound all great and stuff, going back and wanting to change things for the better – but like Kory said: you just need to finish a damn game. It doesn’t have to be the fanciest or the most well-polished game in the world – but as long as it gets done and plays alright that’s all what really matters here. Just put Lands Of Lunori on hold until you can complete this game and then go back and work on it. If you’re having trouble finishing this game, why not try and shorten some things up / cutting some of the more unnecessary things in order to make the game more manageable for yourself.

Either way, work smart and just believe. And one of these days, you’ll be the one laughing at us. ^^

I would say finish the game but I know your feeling all too well. And I'll be not with the majority here but I'll say since you're still early in the game, do what you want and stick with it. And this time make backups in dropbox :p
